EIT opens applications for CHANGE Awards

The European Institute for Innovation and Technology (EIT) has opened applications for its CHANGE Award, which showcases talent emerging from EIT-labelled and KIC educational programmes.

Successful nominees will participate in a pitching workshop in Budapest, Hungary, on 12-13 March 2015. This will be followed by a presentation in front of the EIT Innovation Jury at the EIT Innovation and Entrepreneurship event in Budapest in May, when speakers will be able to receive advice and feedback on their pitch and where the final winners will be announced. The three-day EIT Innovation and Entrepreneurship event will combine four different EIT initiatives, namely the EIT Awards, the EIT Alumni Connect event, the EIT Stakeholder Forum and the EIT Roundtable.

Graduates of EIT-labelled educational programmes from Climate-KIC, EIT ICT Labs or KIC InnoEnergy are eligible, and  applications must be submitted by 17 November. More information can be found here.
