Find out what's happening in the area of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe and Horizon 2020
EIT Digital is one of the 8 Innovation Communities of the EIT. The global goal is to drive innovation across Europe by integrating business, education and research organisations to collaborate and find solutions to pressing global challenges. EIT Digital focusses mostly on aspects related to a strong, digital Europe.
As you might have noticed, EIT Digital has just launched two calls. One for technology-driven companies and startups and one for educators. In this article we'll introduce both calls in more detail. And though the timing is the same, be aware that they are targetting completely different target groups. The submission deadline is 12 May 2021 (5pm CET), which is only 5 weeks from now. So act fast if you're interested. And not to forget, there is a Brokerage Event on 14 April 2021 (with pitches)
EIT Digital has defined 5 focus areas.
If you're not active in (any of) these fields, you better start exploring the other communities of the EIT.
EIT Digital wants to launch and boost digital deep tech ventures. Deep tech is defined as sophisticated technologies (often rooted in research) that are hard-to-reproduce and provide a competitive edge to the venture.
If you are currently working on a start-up, spin-off or spin-out (=lauch), or are ready to scale your activities (=boost), read on. In order to get selected, you'll have to 1/ demonstrate a strong (potential) impact of your solution/technology; 2/ have a strong core team; 3/ have gained already some (local) market traction or interest; and 4/ have sufficient capital to operate.
Your venture needs thus to be in the stage well-beyond the first idea. If you make it to the selection, EIT Digital will co-invest (up to 300 kEUR) in your plan/venture and is basically offering you a boostpack (through their ecosystem) to co-design and grow your venture with sufficient market validation in an internation context. The ecosystem contains 300+ partners in 18 EU locations, with connections to international talents and private investors & venture capital.
Interested? Check out the details on the call website. Don't forget to watch the recording of the info session of 2021-04-07 (soon available) and the Brokerage Event.
EIT digital runs 3 school programmes:
For all three programmes EIT Digital is basically looking for strong partners for new content creation (to enrich their portfolio), for innovating in their teaching methods and tools, for co-organising events, programmes, classes and summer schools and for reuse of the current content through platforms owned by partners.
If you are a strong player in the education field, focussing on topics that are relevant to the EIT Digital focus areas, this call is your chance to partner up with a strong player in the EU Innovation and Entrepreneurial ecosystem. The cooperation commitments are foreseen to be 3 years, which allows for growth and pivoting during the cooperation.

The ROOT project obtained funding under Horizon 2020 topic ‘EGNSS applications fostering societal resilience and protecting the environment’. The project, which ran from November 2020 to July 2022, aimed to demonstrate the benefit of Galileo OSNMA signal to increase the robustness of critical telecom infrastructures.
The Flanders-based company Septentrio contributed substantially to completing this objective together with the other ROOT partners. The results of the project partially close a gap in the security of telecommunication networks dependent on satellite-derived time, with indirect benefits in curbing illegal attempts to disrupt network services.
