EIT has launched a new Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC) for the Cultural and Creative Sectors and Industries (CCSI) in Europe. This new KIC will unite cultural and creative organisations from business, higher education, and research and beyond in a pan-European innovation ecosystem. Furthermore, this KIC will train this sector’s future entrepreneurs, power its cutting-edge ventures, and deliver innovative solutions to the challenges the Culture and Creative Sectors and Industries are facing.
EIT Culture and Creativity launches calls on a regular basis. These calls focus on activities that have the potential to strengthen entrepreneurship, innovation capacity and accelerate the competitiveness of European Cultural and Creative Sectors and Industries (CCSI) and Europe’s Green, Digital and Social Transitions. You can find them here.
EIT Culture and Creativity has six Co-Location Centres (CLCs) located across Europe with headquarters in Germany. The Co-Location Centres (CLCs) will act as first entry point for organisations interested to join or participate in the activities of EIT Culture and Creativity. Belgian stakeholders can contact CLC North West (Amsterdam, Netherlands) via clc-nw@eit-culture-creativity.eu.
Finally you can also contact the NCP for Culture and Society, manhei.to@fwo.be.
Partnerships group the EC and private and/or public partners, to coordinate and streamline the research & innovation initiatives and funding in some selected key domains.
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.
