ProgrammesInnoNext is a collaborative initiative powered by the European Innovation Council that links EIT Community talent (European Institute of Innovation and Technology) with start-ups and SMEs for fully funded innovation internships across Europe.
Who can take part?
a) talents
b) startups and SMEs
For participants, the scheme is designed to connect academic knowledge with business needs and help bridge research and industry. Talents can gain entrepreneurial and professional experience, build networks in Europe’s innovation ecosystem, and receive financial support for internships lasting three to six months. Start-ups and SMEs can host specialised research talent without taking on the internship cost, and can use the platform’s AI-based matching system to find candidates suited to their innovation needs.
An information session is planned for 12 June 2026 from 15h to 16h. Applications are open until 31 July 2026 and more information is available on the InnoNext platform.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).
Stay informed about what matters to you.
By signing up, you can opt in for e-mail notifications and get access to
a personalised dashboard that groups all news updates and event announcements in your domain(s).
Only for stakeholders located in Flanders
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.
