Programmes EIT MissionsThe European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), part of Horizon Europe, the EU’s research and innovation programme, will launch a new Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC) in the water, marine and maritime sectors and ecosystems.
EIT Water, will connect partners from research, business, and education to join the EIT Community and build a pan-European partnership that addresses the most pressing challenges facing water-related innovation ecosystems.
The Call for Proposals for the new KIC will be published in 2025 and the designated EIT KIC will be launched in 2026. You can find more information related to EIT Water and the timeline here.
While the Call for Proposals for the new KIC is yet to be launched, interested organisations are invited to connect on the designated networking platform. Active until the Call's closure, the networking platform allows interested applicants to connect with potential partners and schedule meetings.
To provide interested organisations with more information about the EIT’s upcoming Call for Proposals, the EIT is hosting a series of online info seminars in autumn 2024:
Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the EIT’s innovation model and gain insight into how an EIT Knowledge and Innovation Community fosters innovation.
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 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.
