Timeline

  • Call for proposals opening date: 1 July 2022.
  • Submission deadline: 19 September 2022 at 17:00 CEST (hard deadline, no extension will be granted).

Submit your proposal

The EIT Digital Entrepreneurial Academy encourages the submission of the education proposals by European training providers such as universities, business, education and research organisations.

  • Summer School proposals should present a one-week training programme for Master students, PhD students, young professionals and others who want to deep dive into emerging technologies, learn how to create new businesses using these technologies or upskill their careers. The programmes should be designed for a minimum capacity of 40 participants. A strong and impactful proposal should present evidence of the attractiveness of the topic based on market studies of learning needs, as well as an easily accessible location in Europe with the potential to attract many participants.
  • Professional School proposals should present courses that provide a broad-based, practical introduction to the main concepts and practices in each field, combined with practical insights ready to be applied directly to the workplace. The courses should be delivered twice per year as open-enrolment courses and flexible in format to cater to in-company (B2B) delivery. Proposers must commit to an equal revenue share with EIT Digital and need to provide details on how they will support EIT Digital in the marketing and sales campaign.

If your proposal is selected, EIT Digital will co-invest in your plan to jointly develop and deploy education programmes and courses focused on deep-tech technologies and including business development-oriented components. Accepted proposals should be ready to start in January 2023.
