European Institute of Innovation & Technology

The European Institute of Innovation and Technology, or EIT for short, was founded in 2007 and aims to help increase Europe's innovative capacity and stimulate sustainable economic growth.

 

The concept's objective is to create synergies between education, research, and innovation – the so-called knowledge triangle – and to promote the systematic development of regionally anchored clusters and international networks of the most efficient institutes, universities, and industrial research centers under the umbrella of so-called Knowledge and Innovation Communities, or KICs for short. Further information on KICs and RWTH Aachen University participation in KICs can be found by clicking the link at the bottom of the page.
