EIT Manufacturing RIS aims towards engaging local stakeholders —individuals (notably students, researchers, entrepreneurs) and entities (e.g. start-ups, scale-ups, universities, research labs, NGOs, regions and cities)—in EIT Manufacturing activities. The call for 2023 includes business creation and innovation RIS activities. All RIS activities should receive broad publicity on local and regional levels by raising awareness of the brand of EIT Manufacturing and the KTI model, through the collaboration and interlinking of leading entities from higher education, research and business areas. Synergies with regional/national or Horizon Europe programmes are strongly recommended. Proposals for EIT Manufacturing RIS activities need to demonstrate their contribution to enhancing the innovation capacity of EIT RIS countries and regions. For example, by:
- Having enhanced participation of organisations from EIT RIS countries;
- Involving relevant stakeholders from EIT RIS countries in EIT Manufacturing activities;
- Executing pilot implementations and demonstrators in EIT RIS countries;
- Having enhanced, specific impact to EIT RIS countries;
- Deploying activities in EIT RIS countries and regions where EIT Manufacturing has limited or no presence yet.
