ProgrammesInnoNext is a collaborative initiative powered by the European Innovation Council that links EIT Community talent (European Institute of Innovation and Technology) with start-ups and SMEs for fully funded innovation internships across Europe.
Who can take part?
a) talents
b) startups and SMEs
For participants, the scheme is designed to connect academic knowledge with business needs and help bridge research and industry. Talents can gain entrepreneurial and professional experience, build networks in Europe’s innovation ecosystem, and receive financial support for internships lasting three to six months. Start-ups and SMEs can host specialised research talent without taking on the internship cost, and can use the platform’s AI-based matching system to find candidates suited to their innovation needs.
An information session is planned for 12 June 2026 from 15h to 16h. Applications are open until 31 July 2026 and more information is available on the InnoNext platform.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).
Stay informed about what matters to you.
By signing up, you can opt in for e-mail notifications and get access to
a personalised dashboard that groups all news updates and event announcements in your domain(s).
Only for stakeholders located in Flanders
The MareGraph project, ‘Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph’, obtained funding under the Digital Europe topic ‘OPEN-AI – Public Sector Open Data for AI and Open Data Platform’. The project will increase the semantic, technical, and legal interoperability of three selected high-valued datasets (HVDs) all maintained by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), which is one of the four partners of the project. This will allow the onboarding of essential marine datasets in the Common European Data Spaces. As such MareGraph will provide a structural component in the digital transition of the marine landscape. The numerous impacts of the project will benefit our seas globally in old and new ways to come.
