The idea behind the EIT KICs is innovation flourishes best when the right people are brought together to share expertise. The so called ‘knowledge triangle’, is the principle that when experts from business, research and education work together as one, an optimal environment for innovation is created. UMCG joined the network in 2019 as an associated partner and in 2019 became a core partner.
Our activities are organised in three programmes:
We work all over Europe
We work in whole Europe. To make our work visible look at the photo.
