• Strengthening partnerships between higher education, business and research organisations
• Developing innovation and business support services
• Enhancing the quality of entrepreneurial education
• Creating and disseminating knowledge

The deadline for submissions is 25 May 2021 and 23 selected pilot projects will be announced in June 2021. Projects will be supported with up to 1.2 mil eur and implemented over next 2 years. Visit the EIT website to learn more about the initiative.
