The European Commission has launched a public consultation on the revision of the EIT Regulation (European Institute of Innovation and Technology) with a feedback period from 12 August 2026 till 23 September 2026.

This proposed regulation is one of the final pieces in the revision of the Horizon Europe programme. It wants to examine more in particular the following issues:

  • How to better translate knowledge into market impact ?
  • Which features of the EIT and its KICs (knowledge and innovation communities) have been succesful so far ?
  • How can the EIT better attract and support talented innovators and entrepreneurs ?
  • How can the EIT enhance the synergies with other financial instruments in the next framework programme ?
  • How can the flexibility and governance of the EIT model be improved without hampering the financial interests and ethical rules of the European Union

Stakeholders are invited to share their views through the Commission's Have Your Say portal which can be accessed here.

RUSTICA - Converting organic residues into bio-based fertiliser products

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’.  RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
