EIT Climate-KIC Nordic Ideation Day
It is time to repeat last year’s success. On 27 January 2017, EIT Climate-KIC Nordic will host the first Ideation Day of the year at DTU Skylab, and the Nordic EIT Climate-KIC community is invited to submit their most innovative ideas.
The purpose of Ideation Day is to develop and nurture the EIT Climate-KIC community, which is crucial to facilitate collaboration on innovative projects with large potential climate impact.
Ideation Day provides an arena for participants to:
- Test their project and consortia ideas for climate innovation in a stimulating environment
- Meet new colleagues, work together and discuss ideas to begin forming consortia
- Pitch their ideas in front of a jury
- Potentially move their project forward with financial support
- Become part of a more informed and closely connected EIT Climate-KIC community
Limited awards will be available to support the further development of feasible ideas into full project proposals for future calls within the EIT Climate-KIC Innovation Framework or for external project calls.
Submit your idea
Participants are encouraged to submit project ideas in advance, by 11 January 2017 at the latest. Ideas are submitted through this form and will be shared with the other participants prior to Ideation Day. Please do not hesitate to discuss any idea proposals with Nordic Innovation Pipeline Manager Henrik Søndergaard prior to submitting it.
Targeted Participants
We welcome project and business developers, researchers, collaborators and other EIT Climate-KIC partner representatives. Non EIT Climate-KIC partners are also welcome to contribute to partner-driven consortia.
Assessment Criteria
Each project awarded must be led by a EIT Climate-KIC partner. Non EIT Climate-KIC partners must agree on a funding split with a EIT Climate-KIC partner in order to secure funding.
Assessment of project ideas will be based on the following priorities:
- Cross community collaboration in project team
- Feasibility of implementation
- Potential climate impact
- Demand identification
- Quality and relevance of idea
- Conditions for funding
Activities based on the ideas awarded need to be carried out before the end of 2017, pre-financed by the EIT Climate-KIC Partner and reported to EIT Climate-KIC in August 2017 in order to be reimbursed. This aligns with standard EIT Climate-KIC procedure.
Activities for reimbursement are services from third parties related to the project, travel for team members, exhibitions, PR, consumables, coaching, software, labour, and so on. Do not hesitate to contact Henrik Søndergaard if you have additional questions.
Reporting of results
A short final report of the project’s achievements will be requested by the EIT Climate-KIC Nordic office by the end of August 2017
