The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) has launched the "HEI Initiative: Innovation Capacity Building for Higher Education". This new initiative aims to increase the innovation potential of higher education institutions (HEIs).

Within this pilot initiative, 23 pilot projects will be selected and implemented over 24 months from July 2021. Activities could focus amongst others on strengthening partnerships between higher education, business and research organisations or developing innovation and business support services.

HEIs based in the EU and Horizon Europe Associated Countries are eligible to apply. Consortia are also open to organisations which are not yet partners of an EIT Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC).

The deadline for submitting proposals is 25 May 2021.
