On 16 January 2025, the European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT) opened its call for EIT KIC Water, to build a new sustainable innovation partnership to strengthen Europe’s water, marine and maritime sectors and ecosystems. The Call for Proposals invites consortia of organisations and industry leaders bringing together water-related education, research and business to put forward their vision and strategy for EIT Water.
The EIT will develop an integrated approach across freshwater, marine and maritime sectors and ecosystems. EIT Water will support entrepreneurial education and skills development, innovation projects as well as the business creation and commercialisation of new technologies, products and services. The new KIC will serve as a pan-European partnership and strengthen capacities addressing Europe’s regional innovation divide. EIT Water will become the EIT’s tenth Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC).
