European Institute of Innovation & Technology in short
Innovation is the key to growth, competitiveness
and social well-being in the 21st century. The
capacity of a society to innovate is crucial in an ever
more knowledge-intensive economy.
The European Institute of Innovation and
Technology (EIT) aims to enhance Europe’s ability to
innovate, which translates into adapting quickly to
the fast pace of development, being one step ahead
in providing solutions to rapidly emerging societal
problems and developing products that meet the
demands and desires of consumers.
The EIT is a body of the European Union
based in Budapest, Hungary, in 2008.

EIT’s mission
Europe faces a significant
innovation challenge -
Despite an excellence
research base, dynamic
companies and creative
talent, good ideas are too
rarely turned into new
products or services.
Europe needs a change of
mind-set towards the
promotion of a more
innovative and
entrepreneurial culture.
The EIT mission is to foster
entrepreneurship and
innovation across Europe.

Funding Model
No research funding
The EIT Funding model aims
to:
Boost innovation
Commercialize R&D results
into products, services and
processes
Stimulate intra- and
entrepreneurship through
education and life-long
learning
Promote mobility and cross-
fertilization integrating the
Knowledge Triangle

6. 6
EIT RawMaterials
• Committed to strengthen technology development, innovation capacity,
competiveness and sustainable growth in Europe.
• Aims to boost innovation by introducing new solutions, products and services for
sustainable exploration, extraction, mineral processing, recycling, material
management and substitution.
• Expected to turn investment into tangible economic and social impact, including
business opportunities, risk taking and entrepreneurial people contributing to
sustainable economic growth. This, in turn, will boost the competitiveness of the
European Raw aterials sector and generate new, high quality jobs.
