About the EIT AII Initiative
The EIT AII initiative is a key objective for the European Institute of Innovation and Technology as part of the new EIT strategy. The initiative aims to support institutions of higher education with expertise and coaching, access to the EIT innovation ecosystem, which is the largest in Europe, and funding, enabling them to develop innovation action plans complementing the needs of individual institutions of higher education. This is the EIT HEI Initiative’s second call for proposals, following the success of the 2021 Pilot Call. So far, the initiative has provided funding to nearly 50 projects. The next call for proposals is expected at the end of 2022.
