Knowledge Management& Transfer
Problems to be addressed by the EIT
• Funding, outstanding people and world-class facilities are dispersed, not concentrated in a comparatively few centres of excellence;
• Not enough research and education which looks across traditional academic disciplines and focuses on opportunities for innovation in the medium- and longer-term;
• there are poor connections between education, research and innovation;
• Europe's universities have insufficient freedom from state interference, most of the staff are not of an entrepreneurial mind and the universities need to be modernised.
Tasks proposed for the EIT
• Identifying matters of potential major economic and social interest for Europe which are likely to generate the best added value from innovation;
• Deciding in which of those matters to invest resources;
• Selecting about six Knowledge and Innovation Communities; defining their rights and obligations in agreements; applying quality controls to them; periodically evaluating their activities; and ensuring appropriate coordination between them;
• Raising the EIT's income; and
• Promoting the recognition of EIT degrees and diplomas.
