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.

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.
