Networking Platform Launched for EIT Water
The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), part of Horizon Europe, the EU’s research and innovation programme, will launch a new Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC) in the water, marine and maritime sectors and ecosystems.
EIT Water, will connect top partners from research, business, and education to join the EIT Community and build a pan-European partnership that addresses the most pressing challenges facing water-related innovation ecosystems.
The Call for Proposals for the new KIC will be published in 2025 and the designated EIT KIC will be launched in 2026. You can find more information related to EIT Water and the timeline on our dedicated page here.
How can I get involved?
While the Call for Proposals for the new KIC is yet to be launched, interested organisations are invited to connect on the designated networking platform. Active until the Call's closure, the networking platform allows interested applicants to connect with potential partners and schedule meetings.
Please note that the networking platform has been set up for interested applicants to use independently. The EIT does not facilitate any interactions or meetings on the networking platform.
