A call for expression of interest for European Innovation Council (EIC) Programme Managers is currently open. The European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) aims to establish a reserve list of approximately 15 candidates and to recruit up to 6 candidates.
Apart from funding for research and innovation the EIC has as objective to turn technological breakthroughs out of their (portfolios of) funded projects into business opportunities. The EIC Programme Managers have an important role in guiding this process. EIC Programme Managers are experts in emerging science and technology areas.
In 2019 the first four EIC programme managers were recruited in the areas of health and biotechnology, medical technologies and medical devices, materials for energy and environmental sustainability, innovation management and energy systems and green technologies. The new programme managers are expected to have expertise in other thematic areas. Women are encouraged to apply.
All information on the call for EoI can be found in this EIC news article.
