What is it about ?

The European institute of innovation and technology (EIT) has nine independant subdivisions called knowledge and innovation communites (KIC). They are a group made up of partners from business, academia and research (innovation) and are funded by the European Union. They regularly launch calls to stimulate new businesses and develop talented people.

The InnoNext Call by EIT Climate-KIC aims to achieve those goals by supporting start-ups and talented EIT graduates that can deliver innovative solutions for pressing climate issues. It is an initiative in collaboration with the European Innovation Council.

It opens fresh opportunities for EIT Community members to participate in fully funded Innovation Internships across Europe. Through this platform, graduates from EIT Label programmes and EIT-supported startups can access tailored placements that connect academic talent with business needs.

RUSTICA - Converting organic residues into bio-based fertiliser products

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’.  RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
