News archive - [Event Announcement] The EIT – What is its future?
The European Institute of innovation and Technology opened in 2008 – an experiment in helping Europe bridge the gaps among the worlds of research, industry and education. With an initial pilot-phase budget of €309 million, a Governing Board was formed, a headquarters established in Budapest, and the first three big projects begun: Knowledge and Innovation Communities – joining companies, academic researchers and educators – to develop and bring to market new innovations in alternative energy, climate change and ICT. And it began promoting training and support for entrepreneurship in European academia.
