It will be one of Polish EIT - related flagships and KIC candidates
KICs – 5 „must” conditions
1. Having already existing excellence in mind, the potential for
growth must be decisive factor for the KICs choice – hence the
active presence of NMS is an absolute must. Here the EIT will
not be just a mere addition, but shall have a very strong positive
leverage effect.
2. To be successful, the KICs creation should be an essential part of
a regional development strategy, as this may also assure larger
and easier to gather resources.
3. KICs should from the outset amalgamate with the local
knowledge community.
4. The initial number of 3 KICs should be increased as soon as the
will and resources give assurance to their quality and stability.
5. The attraction of young talents should start as soon as possible,
even before a formal setting of the KICs. It can be done via
dedicated named EIT grants. We are ready for that.
EIT
Flagship for innovative Europe?
Yes, because
it is a
civilisation initiative
for XXI c.
