EIT ICT Labs and INRIA

New EU instrument for promoting innovation in Europe

• Legally established in 2008 as an independent agency within the EU

• Governing board with 18 members

Funds “Knowledge and Innovation Communities”, KICs

• Official call and selection of 3 KICs during 2009

Three proposals were selected in December 2009:

• In the ICT field - EIT ICT Labs

• In the Energy field - KIC Innoenergy

• In the Climate field - Climate-KIC

KICs fully operational in October 2010
