EIT Water Info Day on 5 March 2025

The Call for Proposals for a new European Institution of Innovation & Technology (EIT) Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC) in water, marine, and maritime sectors and ecosystems is open until 17 June 2025 and the designated EIT KIC will be launched in 2026. 

To present the Call in greater detail, the EIT is hosting an Info Day on 5 March 2025 as part of the European Ocean Days 2025 organised by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE). 

Aimed at potential applicants – including businesses, research entities and universities – along with multiplier and non-governmental organisations, policymakers and media active in the sector – this half-day hybrid event will offer an excellent opportunity to get prepared for the Call for Proposals and to learn more about the EIT’s approach to creating sustainable innovation ecosystems.

A significant part of the Info Day will be dedicated to presenting the call modalities, in particular its scope, the application and evaluation process and timeline as well as best practices from existing EIT KICs. The event will also offer inspiring discussions with members of the EIT community and a chance for networking. 

Here is the link to register for onsite participation in Brussels.

No registration is required for online attendance. The link to follow the event online will be published in due course on the EIT website.
