The course is intended to introduce the new (2023) Knowledge Innovation Community: EIT Culture & Creativity.

What will you learn?

The course aims to provide a context for the KIC’s activities and ambitions, a deeper understanding of the EIT ecosystem and its nine KICs, the distinct contribution and purpose of EIT CC, the interaction of its three pillars (education, business creation, innovation), and the potential and scope of EIT CC’s five strategic areas for intervention:

• Architecture
• Audiovisual Media
• Cultural Heritage
• Fashion
• Gaming.

This course will explore the logistics and practicalities of applying to the calls for funding, modelling credible financial sustainability, and applying for the EIT Label in awarded education/training projects.

Synergies with Creative Skills Week and PactforSkills will be explored.

What will be the benefits?

Course graduates will have acquired valuable insight into the context and aims of the EIT CC 2025 Calls for proposals in Education and Continuous Professional Development (CPD) and the equivalent 2025 calls in Business Creation and Innovation.
