The primary focus is to create sustainable energy solutions in all aspects of production, through enhancing collaboration among the three pillars of the knowledge triangle and fostering innovation that can be embraced by the market.
EIT InnoEnergy concentrates on the following thematic fields:
If you are an innovator with a promising technology or service aligned with any of these eight thematic fields, you can apply to join the ecosystem. Among other benefits, joining the ecosystem allows exposure and access to the venture capital community.
EIT InnoEnergy not only provides funding possibilities, but also assists in making your product or service market-ready, transforming it into a viable business.
Additionally, EIT InnoEnergy has an education pillar focused on training workers who will operate in these innovative areas, called InnoEnergy Skills Institute.
With the e-mobility future in mind, EIT InnoEnergy partnered with European Battery Alliance to establish an upskill and reskill programme: EBA Academy.

Professor Inez Germeys leads the Center for Contextual Psychiatry at KU Leuven, which is a large multi-disciplinary research group focusing on the interaction between the person and the environment in the development of psychopathology. She has received a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator grant (INTERACT) and Proof of Concept grant (IMPACT). With these grants professor Germeys and her team researched a new mobile self-management therapy for patients with a psychotic disorder. The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Daily Life (ACT-DL) was further developed for the clinical environment. In line with that the Horizon 2020 IMMERSE project aims to thoroughly evaluate strategies, processes, and outcomes of implementing a digital mobile mental health solution.
