The European Innovation Council (EIC) has selected 19 projects following the April 2023 EIC Transition cut-off. These successful proposals, selected among 180 eligible submissions, will receive altogether €46.76 million of EU financial contribution (up to €2.5 million each). The selected participants come from 18 EU Member States and Horizon Europe associated countries.
This latest EIC Transition call included ‘open’ funding, available for proposals on any field of science or technology. This was complemented with targeted funding for three specific challenges.
EIC Transition funding provides follow up funding to results achieved by EIC Pathfinder and ERC projects, and for the first time the call for challenge funding was open to projects that follow up results achieved by any project under Horizon.
The 19 selected projects consist of:
- 14 under the open funding,
- 3 under the “Chip-scale optical frequency combs” challenge,
- 2 under the “Full scale micro-nano-bio devices for medical and medical research applications” challenge,
- No projects were selected for the “environmental intelligence” challenge, but the budget remains available under the next cut-off.
