In 2022, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) awarded grants to 26 projects that succeeded in the EIT HEI Initiative call announced at the end of 2021. A total of 56 consortia representing over 680 organisations from across Europe applied for this year’s EIT HEI Call, which closed in March 2022. The 26 selected projects involve 147 HEIs and 147 non-academic organisations (companies, research centres, public authorities and associations).
