The aim of the event is to inform national stakeholders about EIT and KIC activities as well as about possibilities how to get involved.

During the meeting, participants will be able to get insights from representatives of the KICs and will receive an update on future plans from Martin Kern, the EIT's Interim Director.

Created in 2008, the European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT) is a unique initiative of the European Union, which encourages innovation and entrepreneurship in Europe. In order to form a dynamic pan-European partnership, EIT brings together leading universities, research laboratories and companies. Together these institutions within the partnership – the so-called 'Knowledge and Innovation Communities' (KICs) – develop innovative products and services, create new companies and train entrepreneurs. Support EIT helps innovators and entrepreneurs across Europe to turn their ideas into products and services.

EIT is an integral part of the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation 'Horizon 2020'. In turn, the Horizon 2020 is one of the most important elements of the innovation union – the flagship initiative 'Europe 2020', aimed at improving the global competitiveness of the EU.

The main purpose of the event is to present cooperation opportunities for universities, research institutions and the business sector in Ukraine with the European Institute of Innovation and Technology.

The language of the meeting is English.
