Programmes Horizon EuropeOn 28 January an informal agreement was reached, between de European Parliament rapporteurs and representatives of the Portuguese Council presidency, on an update of the legal basis (regulation) of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) as well as its new Strategic Innovation Agenda (SIA) for 2021-2027. The budget of EIT is increased with € 600 million, compared to the previous funding period (2014-2020), which is set at € 2.96 billion (2021-2027). The Strategic Innovation Agenda among others aims to increase the regional impact of Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) and innovation capacity of higher education institutions. In addition to the eight existing KICs, the launch of two new KICs is foreseen in 2022 (cultural and creative sectors and industries CCI) and 2025 (water, marine and maritime sectors and ecosystems). The Council can only formally adopt the EIT regulation and decision for the Strategic Innovation Agenda after the Horizon Europe regulation has been adopted.

Funded by Horizon Europe, under call topic HORIZON-WIDERA-2021-ERA-01-80, INSPIRE is Europe's Centre of Excellence on inclusive gender equality in research and innovation. It relies on four Knowledge and Support Hubs to create knowledge in the areas of sustaining change, widening participation, intersectionality and innovation. Moreover, it supports stakeholders in their journey to become more inclusive through 12 Communities of Practice. In this way, INSPIRE aims to develop both cutting-edge knowledge and innovative strategies for gender equality in the European Research Area. INSPIRE brings together 14 partners. The Belgian partner in this project is UHasselt.
