Project description
Fostering innovation through collaboration
Innovative projects often face the challenge of limited visibility and impact, hindering their potential to drive technological breakthroughs. It is possible to increase both visibility and impact by stimulating synergies and innovation breakthroughs. With this in mind, the EIC Communities project funded under the European Innovation Council (EIC) will create three thematic Communities of Practice in the green, digital/industry/space, and health sectors. Its aim is to co-create diverse online and physical activities, materials and tools that encourage multidisciplinary interactions among EIC portfolios. These activities, including matchmaking sessions, workshops and interactive academies, will foster collaboration among projects and build sustainable networks around portfolios. The ultimate goal is to propel future technologies and innovations, driving us towards a more connected and innovative future.
Objective
The project’s main objective is to increase the visibility and impact of EIC portfolios of projects through the co-creation of diverse online and physical activities, materials and tools that will be implemented in three thematic Communities of Practice - CoP (green, digital/industry/space and health). Those formats will prompt the creation of multidisciplinary communities around selected portfolios, and will stimulate interactions and synergies among projects inside and across thematic and EIC challenge-driven portfolios, while providing the EIC Programme Managers ( EIC PMs) with sustainable measures and community model structures to build networks around portfolios and develop new visions for future technologies and innovation breakthroughs. EIC Communities will work closely with the EIC representatives and EIC PMs through, inter alia, co-creation of new engagement practices and co-developing policy recommendations for R&I in future deep-tech. Community and synergy building activities will be co-developed with CoP stakeholders and implemented inside and across the three CoPs to ensure cross-sectoral and multidisciplinary interactions between EIC open and challenge-driven portfolios and projects. Those activities will include: (i) pitching sessions, (ii) matchmaking between projects, (iii) organisation of Portfolio Days and online interactive academies, (iv) thematic workshops and (v) re-launch of the Future Tech Week. As a result, a wider community, which goes beyond the selected portfolios, will be established in each CoP. The outcomes of the activities carried out in CoPs will be translated in a set of high-impact communication materials that will aim at showcasing the added value of the portfolio ecosystem and benefits stemming from portfolio interactions. Sustainability and replication plans will be produced with a view to ensure effective pathways for exploitation of project results and to stimulate synergies with other portfolios, not covered by the project.
