Dialogue meeting on the establishment of a European innovation network for water, marine, and maritime ecosystems and sectors
About the event
We invite you to a dialogue meeting in connection with an upcoming call for proposals from the European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT).
The call aims to establish a new innovation network (EIT KIC) within the water, marine, and maritime sectors, and ecosystems. If everything goes according to plan, the call will be published in the first quarter of 2025, and it's important that Norwegian stakeholders engage now.
An EIT KIC involves various stakeholders, including academia, providers of vocational education and training, research organizations, industry, small and medium-sized enterprises, investors, public and private sectors, municipalities, and voluntary organizations.
This is a hybrid event where you can participate either in person or digitally.
