The EIT 2014-2020

Paris – 04 April 2013

EIT as an integral part of Horizon 2020

EIT in Horizon 2020Why? Mutual benefits: • Alignment of priorities• Synergies• Knowledge triangle• Simplification

EIT in Horizon 2020: implications

EIT remains autonomous but integrated in thebroader framework of H2020.

• H2020 provisions on monitoring and evaluation apply

• H2020 rules of participation apply; derogations if necessary (e.g. IP)

• H2020 Programme Committee will NOT apply

Priorities for the future

Priorities for the future

•1. Incentivise growth, impact & sustainability through the EIT

• Consolidation & growth of existing KICs• Creation of new KICs in 2 waves

1st wave: 2014 (tbc)

Innovation for healthy living and active ageing

Food4Future - sustainable supply chain from resources to consumers

Raw materials – sustainable exploration, extraction, processing and recycling

2nd wave: 2018 (tbc)

Urban mobility

Added-value manufacturing

Smart secure societies

Future KIC themes (proposed)

Priorities for the future

•2. Enhancing impact and outreach

• Fostering innovation across the Union (outreach & dissemination)

• Fostering and attracting talent (fellows, alumni...)

Priorities for the future

•3. New delivery mechanisms and results-oriented monitoring

• Monitoring at four activity levels (H2020, EIT, cross-KIC, KIC)

• Simplification agenda

Facilitating implementation

• Effective decision making and working arrangements

• Streamlining & clarifying EIT decision-making• Investing in KICs: EIT-KICs relations Engaging with stakeholders

•The Knowledge andInnovation Communities (KICs) – selection of themes

public consultation criteria

EIT Governing Board

Criteria• Address major economic and societal challenges

Europe faces, and contribute to the delivery of theEurope 2020 Agenda

• Align and co-ordinate with relevant EU policies aswell as with existing initiatives under Horizon 2020and Erasmus for All

• Be able to mobilise investment and long-termcommitment from the business sector; have anexisting market for its products or be able to createnew ones

Criteria (cont.) Create sustainable and systemic impact, measured in

terms of new educated entrepreneurial people, newtechnologies and new business

Bring together a critical mass of world-classresearch, education and innovation stakeholders,which would otherwise not unite

Require transdiciplinary approaches and thedevelopment of new types of education across theboundaries of disciplines

Address major innovation gaps, such as theEuropean paradox, i.e. themes where Europe has astrong research base but a weak innovationperformance

questions

Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs)Main characteristics

long-term strategic approach (each KIC is set up for a min. of 7 years)

high degree of integration (each KIC is a legal entity)

effective governance: leadership by a Chief Executive Officer and a lean management team at central and co-location level

the co-location model (each KIC consists of typically 5-6 cluster-like nodes with a clear geographic anchoring) – clustering partners in CLCs distributed throughout Europe that are thematically convergent and driven by societal challenges

Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs)Main characteristics

sufficient autonomy and flexibility: to determine organisational structure and activities governed by a Board of KIC partners organisations

clear targets and deliverables (each KIC sets up a business plan with measurable deliverables)

smart funding & high degree of commitment of partners (EIT funding to KICs is max. 25% of their total budget over time, with 75% to be attracted from other sources – public and private)

The co-location centres: bringing people together in new ways

Each of the KICs operates across 5 or 6 innovation hubs called co-location centres.

There are currently 17 co-location centres spread across Europe.

EIT ICT Labs KIC InnoEnergy Climate KIC

The co-location centres: a new concept

Two dimensions: Physical co-location of people and activities Structuring effect in the organisation of KIC activities across Europe

Co-location centres are not traditional clusters Leveraging local competencies not available to teams located in one place

only Combining social capital with network capital Facilitate and develop knowledge flows for innovation education and
