SUMMARY:EIT RIS Workshop @ European Week of Regions and Cities
DESCRIPTION:Universities as engines for regional growth: Making a case for strengthening regional innovation ecosystems and overcoming innovation divide\nThe European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) boosts European innovativeness and propels entrepreneurial mindset via its pan-European innovation communities that unite business\, academia and research. Together they create an ecosystem that transforms ideas into innovations and students into entrepreneurs. However\, disparities among European countries persist. EIT and its innovation communities designed a Regional Innovation Scheme to address the disparities. \nBased on two cases studies\, the EIT and practitioners will discuss how to strengthen ecosystems that generate game changers\, successful start-ups and ground-breaking innovations by redefining the role of university and its relationship with business and cities. The first case study shows how two universities in Kaunas\, Lithuania\, join forces with the help of the city to create an environment inductive to innovation; the second case study is a success story of a historic district in Lisbon\, Portugal\, transforming itself to be a ‘Smart Sustainable District’. \nComposition of the panel: \n\nLaura Supjeva\, EIT\, Strategy Officer\nMike Cherrett\, EIT Climate-KIC\, Director of External Relations\nJudit Hegedüs\, EIT Health\, RIS Programme Manager\nNeringa Valantinė\, Kaunas in\, Business Division Chief Project Manager\nRepresentative from Lisbon City\nModerator: DG EAC\n\nDr Markus Klein\, Business Development Manager\, will represent EIT RawMaterials partnership at the EIT RIS workshop. \nEIT Regional Innovation Scheme (EIT RIS)\nEIT RIS is the EIT Community’s outreach scheme. The scheme enables the transfer of good practices and know-how from the EIT’s unique approach to boosting innovation. The EIT RIS was introduced in 2014 to share good practices and experience emerging from EIT Community activities and to widen participation in our activities across Europe. \nLearn more here.
