European Institute of Innovation and Technology - cooperation opportunities
The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) aims to increase Europe’s ability to innovate by nurturing entrepreneurial talent and supporting creative ideas. The EIT has 9 creative communities of innovation that cover a wide topic range (i.e., digital, raw materials, food, climate, health, culture, energy, manufacturing and urban mobility). The European Institute of Innovation and Technology provides funding opportunities for innovative projects that aim to find sustainable solutions to the challenges that face Europe. They offer a unique chance for entrepreneurs, researchers, and businesses to make a real impact on our society.
The European Union relies heavily on strategic and critical raw materials for its growth and development, and it is crucial that we secure a sustainable supply of these materials to maintain our competitiveness in a global market. At the same time, we must also be mindful of the environmental impact of our resource consumption.
Lotta Aalto (a lead expert at the EIT RawMaterials) will provide us with an overview of the challenges facing Europe in the sector of raw materials and the different actions and opportunities provided by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology in order to tackle such challenges.
The event is open to all (students, researchers, academics and non-academics) from UiT and other universities. The event will be hybrid and you can follow it using Zoom. There will also be an opportunity for networking and Q&A after the lecture.
