18/11/2021 (Agence Europe) – On Thursday 18 November, the European Commission announced the launch, via the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), of a new European call for projects aimed at higher education institutions and non-academic organisations - companies, research centres, public authorities, associations - wishing to design activities that could “boost their innovation capacity”. Up to 40 consortia of institutions and organisations can be supported through this call for proposals - the selected consortia will each receive a maximum of €1.2 million. A similar call from earlier this year has already supported 24 projects involving 142 higher education institutions and 155 non-university organisations. The new call for projects will close on 28 February. For more information: https://bit.ly/3crxenw (AC)
