The European Innovation Council (EIC) is organizing an Online Info Day on 13 November 2025 to present the upcoming EIC Work Programme 2026. This event is a key moment for innovators, researchers, startups, SMEs, and National Contact Points (NCPs) to gain early insights into the future of European innovation funding.
The Info Day will cover updates and strategic priorities across the three main funding schemes of the EIC:
- EIC Pathfinder – supporting visionary research with the potential to lead to breakthrough technologies.
- EIC Transition – helping to mature results from Pathfinder and other EU-funded projects towards market readiness.
- EIC Accelerator – funding and supporting startups and SMEs to scale up high-impact innovations.
Participants will have the opportunity to:
– Learn about new calls and funding opportunities
– Understand changes in application procedures and evaluation criteria
– Hear directly from EIC experts and programme officers
– Prepare effectively for upcoming submissions in 2026
This Info Day is particularly relevant for those planning to apply in the next cycle
