Are you looking for an opportunity to help Europe recover from the crisis through innovation?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Do you want to help Europe transition to a greener, healthier and more sustainable future? Then the<\/strong> European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) has an opportunity for you.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The EIT is selecting up to seven new members for its Governing Board. The Call for Expression of Interest<\/a> is now open: apply by 29 October 2021 and help drive Europe’s ability to innovate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The EIT Governing Board<\/a>  consists of 15 European innovation leaders and an observer from the European Commission appointed by the European Commission for a four-year mandate as well as a representative of the European Commission. The Board provides the EIT’s strategic leadership and is independent in its decision-making. More specifically, the Board is responsible for the selection, designation, funding, and evaluation of the EIT’s Knowledge and Innovation Communities<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The EIT is the EU’s most experienced and largest innovation network that powers innovators and entrepreneurs across Europe to deliver unique solutions to pressing global challenges. The Institute makes innovation happen through a unique innovation model that supports the development of long-term  sustainable European partnerships – EIT Knowledge and Innovation Communities – where businesses, education and research closely cooperate to deliver innovation and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n

The EIT’s logic is: innovation needs a pipeline of ideas, talent and a supporting ecosystem that accelerates their growth and is focussed in bringing solutions to citizens. With Europe’s most experienced and largest innovation network of more than 60 EIT Innovation Hubs, gathering around 3000 partners, the EIT gives innovators what they need to thrive. <\/em>The Institute offers a wide range of activities to help entrepreneurs turn their ideas into products, services and jobs. Activities include entrepreneurial education programmes, start-up and acceleration support and innovation-driven research projects.<\/p>\n

Since 2010, the EIT Community has brought over 1 400 new products and services to the market, trained thousands of entrepreneurs and has backed over 3 800 ventures that have attracted EUR 3.9 billion in external investment. Meet some of the EIT Community supported entrepreneurs here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The EIT has just received a strengthened mandate and budget of around EUR 3 billion as part of Horizon Europe and reflected in its new strategy for 2021 to 2027<\/a>. This presents an opportunity to make an impact on major societal challenges through European cooperation.\n<\/p>\n
