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.
In October 2021 the EIT launched a call for proposals for this new EIT KIC Culture and Creativity. After months of intensive preparations and evaluation process the EIT has announced the winning consortium in June 2022. The new KIC officially became operational in 2023.
EIT Culture and Creativity has launched its first calls for proposals in April 2023. 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. More information about the calls for proposals can be found here. The results of these calls are expected in October 2023.
Visit the KIC's website regularly for information on upcoming and new calls.
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 Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
