EIT CCSI call is open

26/10/2021

On 26 October 2021, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) launched a call for proposals for the establishment of the ninth Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC), which will cover the field of Culture and Creative Sectors and Industries, CCSI). CCSIs are among Europe’s leading job providers, with the potential to provide solutions to some of society’s most pressing socio-economic issues. Blocking the way are regional gaps, structural challenges and, more recently, the COVID-19 pandemic. EIT Culture & Creativity will help unite cultural and creative organisations from business, higher education, and research in a sustainable European innovation partnership. The EIT Press Release is here and call text here. The proposals have to be submitted solely by FTOP here.

EIT is organising several webinars related to this call:

 

Webinar 1: Innovating with the EIT & creating a new partnership, 9 November - 10:00 - 11:30 CET

Webinar 2: EIT Nuts & Bolts, 16 November - 10:00 - 11:30 CET

Webinar 3: Key EIT Activities, 30 November - 10:00 - 11:30 CET

Webinar 4: United in innovation, 7 December - 10:00 - 11:30 CET
