EIT Regional Innovation Scheme (RIS): Implementation Guidance Note
Guidance for implementing rules for the EIT Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) based on the objectives, main principles and characteristics of the EIT RIS
Abstract
This guidance note aims at providing implementing rules for the EIT Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) based on the objectives, main principles and characteristics of the EIT RIS in line with the provisions set out in the amended EIT Regulation and Strategic Innovation Agenda (SIA). It also offers continuation for its operationalization, in line with the Background note no. 00757.EIT.2014.D.
The development and implementation of a fully-fledged EIT RIS by the EIT and its KICs was designed as a gradual process, which will be based on lessons learnt from the implementation of 2014 and 2015 outreach activities. The EIT supported the KICs in the implementation of the EIT RIS by organising dedicated workshops clarifying key principles and sharing lessons learnt as well as identifying potential challenges.
