European Innovation Ecosystems – Online Informative Session

On 11 June 2024, the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) is organising an informative webinar to learn more about the following calls:

– HORIZON-EIE-2024-CONNECT-02-01: Expanding Academia-Enterprise Collaborations

The action should foster the creation of innovation ecosystems with educational and research institutions, or strengthen their existing links. Proposals should outline activities for supporting educational and research institutions to take a greater entrepreneurial role, e.g. through boosting innovation and entrepreneurship within their activities. The action should also ensure that educational and research institutions’ assets and vision are articulated clearly and in line with respective regional specialisations (such as smart specialisation strategies), so they can easily be integrated into innovation ecosystems and economic value chains.

– HORIZON-EIE-2024-CONNECT-02-02: Mutual learning and support scheme for national and regional innovation programmes

This action aims at improving dialogue and networking among public innovation authorities and agencies for the design and implementation of regional and national innovation funding programmes (in line with the requirements of the Plug-in certification for step 2 of the EIC Accelerator).
