Agro-Food, Environment EIT

EIT Food’s proof-of-concept co-financing instrument is designed to help agrifood startups move their ideas towards market-ready solutions by reducing the financial risk of early collaboration with corporate partners. 

Eligible proposals should involve a startup and a prospective corporate client, with total project costs of less than €60,000. EIT Food states that projects need to show a clear pathway to commercial success, and activities should be directly linked to the proposed proof-of-concept or pilot. 

Applications are assessed by expert panels after each cut-off date. The two deadlines are 31 July 2026 and 30 November 2026, with the latter being the final deadline for now. For more information, please consult the website of the call.

ScreenME - Enhancing excellence in screen media entrepreneurship

The Horizon2020 twinning project ScreenME has as its objective to enhance excellence in screen media entrepreneurship at Tallinn University (TLU). To do so, ScreenME has established a network of universities across Europe that aim to improve research into and teaching of entrepreneurship for the screen media industry. ScreenME will develop a teaching course and will kick off research initiatives and projects on entrepreneurial activities in media organisations. The research group on ‘Studies in Media, Innovation and Technology (SMIT)’ of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is partner in the network and is involved in two cross-cutting activities of the project: support for early stage researchers and developing stakeholder involvement.
