Summary
This action will promote industry-academia knowledge exchange focussing on companies’ research and innovation needs, complementing university-business collaboration in line with the European Skills Agenda for sustainable competitiveness, social fairness and resilience.
Detailed Call Description
This activity will build on already existing instruments in the field of university-business cooperation such as EIT Knowledge Innovation Communities and Knowledge Alliance. Gap analysis of the existing EU instruments in the field of university-business cooperation shows that there is a need for enhancing support for ad-hoc collaborations focussing on companies’ specific needs. This activity will develop and pilot a standard collaboration module that will support short-term gender-balanced co-creation teams of HEI students, researchers and companies own R&D personnel to work jointly to solve the company’s identified R&I and business challenges. The applicants should elaborate how they will develop this in coordination with the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) to avoid duplication, explore complementary forms and means of service provisions distinct to the EIT KICs, and allow possible use of existing EIT networks.
The students and researchers in each co-creation team must come from at least three EU Member States or Associated Countries. Participation of companies across the EU and Associated Countries should be ensured with particular emphasis on widening countries. The action should create links with other relevant initiatives related to industry-academia collaboration. If applicants propose to provide financial support to third parties to support co-creation teams they will need to describe conditions for submission, evaluation and selection of proposals of third parties.
