EIT Communities launch Cross-KIC Circular Economy Calls

30/03/2020

EIT RawMaterials, EIT Digital, EIT Climate KIC, EIT Food, EIT Manufacturing and EIT Urban Mobility have created a Cross-KIC action aiming to strengthen the collaboration of internal and external activities related to the Circular Economy.

Circular Economy is one of the main objectives of European society right now. Moving to more circular models promises a much brighter future for the European economy. This will allow Europe to rise to the current and future challenges of global pressure on resources and increasing insecurity of supply. Feeding resources back into productive use, cutting waste and reducing dependence on uncertain supplies is a direct route to improving resilience and competitiveness. By helping to decouple economic growth from resource use and its impacts, it offers the prospect of sustainable growth that will last.

The EIT Innovation Community will be one of the key stakeholders ensuring this important objective for European society. This will only be achieved with a coordinated and efficient collaboration among the different EIT KICs (Knowledge and Innovation Community) to ensure a greater impact from the Cross-KIC collaboration.

Application deadline is 30 April 2020!
