The European Commission opened the discussion on the strategy for the period 2021-27, which include the EIT Regulation and the EIT Strategic Innovation Agenda for 2021-2027. In line with this Agenda, EIT plan to reinforce EU regional development activities through the EIT Regional Innovation Scheme, launch a new action to boost the innovation capacity of higher education institutions in Europe, and improve the EIT Community’s openness and inclusivity. EIT is looking for input from stakeholders in these three areas:

1) EIT Regional Innovation Scheme (EIT RIS) post-2020
2) New EIT Action to support the innovation capacity of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs)
3) EIT Community – Open and Inclusive

Stakeholders who are interested to contribute to the discussion on any of these topics can use the links above to access the topic-specific questionnaires and contribute to the EIT’s future work, until 15 November 2020.
