EIC has launched its first calls
EIC has been launched in April and there are several open calls. EIC will support through an “Integrated, agile support across the full innovation spectrum from early-stage research to start-up and scale-up”.

- EIC Pathfinder for advanced research to develop the scientific basis to underpin breakthrough technologies.

- EIC Accelerator to support companies (SMEs, start-ups, spin-outs, and in exceptional cases small mid-caps) to bring their innovations to market and scale-up.
