Published on | 4 months ago

Programmes Culture and society EIT

The European institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) tries to build the bridge from promising innovations to succesful businesses. It counts about 10 knowledge and innovation communities (KIC) that focus on a specific sector. The EIT Culture and Creativity is one of the more recently established newer KIC's.

To help businesses cross this bridge it has launched a call for applications for two tailored business support programmes designed to accelerate the growth of promising start-ups and scale-ups in Europe’s cultural and creative sectors and industries (CCSI). The focus is on five key sectors: fashion, architecture, cultural heritage, audio-visual media, and gaming. 

You can apply if you are a start-up or scale-up operating in one or more CCSI sectors, legally established in an EU Member State or a Horizon Europe-associated country. Applicants must meet the SME criteria, have at least two years of operations, and a product or service on the market.

The application deadline for cohort 1 has passed but you can still apply for cohort 2 untill the 11th of July 2025. You can find all the application details here

EURHISFIRM - Long-term data for Europe

EURHISFIRM designs a world-class research infrastructure (RI) to connect, collect, collate, align, and share detailed, reliable, and standardized long-term financial, governance, and geographical data on European companies. EURHISFIRM enables researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to develop and evaluate effective strategies to promote investment, economic growth and job creation. The RI provides the tools for long-term analysis highlighting the dynamics of the past and the way those dynamics structure our present and future.

The EURHISFIRM European project received € 3.4 million in financing from the European Commission through the H2020-INFRADEV-2017-1 research infrastructures call. The project started with a consortium of eleven research organisations (including University of Antwerp) from seven European countries.
