How to join

If you want to express your interest to participate, please fill out this form. You will be asked for key information on your organisation, including its general competencies in the manufacturing area and the specific interest in this call.

Please note: According to EIT Manufacturing statutes, the lead partner of an Activity must be an existing member of EIT Manufacturing. This means that you will have to become part of a proposal team, including at least one existing EIT Manufacturing member. You can get in contact with our members via the representative provided in the list of current partners. In addition, the information you provided in the form will be published to EIT Manufacturing existing partners which then can contact you.

If a proposal you are involved in will be selected for execution in 2022, you will have to become a member of the EIT Manufacturing association as an 'Activity Partner'. This entails paying a membership fee of EUR 10 000 of the funding from EIT Manufacturing. After 2022, you may apply for a permanent membership.
