EIT Community Officer (ECO) in Greece

Introduced in 2014, the EIT Regional Innovation Scheme (EIT RIS) is a new element of the EIT Community

outreach strategy and the EIT’s answer to encouraging wider participation in its innovation activities.

The EIT RIS is an outreach scheme that:

increases the innovation capacity of the moderate and modest developed regions in Europe by innovation,

supports the regions to benefit from the EIT Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs),

supports the integration of business, higher education, and research institutions.

The EIT RIS is based on engagement between the KICs and selected partnerships from business, higher education, and research, as well as regional policymakers, public entities, and other stakeholders essential to spurring innovation in Europe. It capitalizes on the potential offered by Europe’s regional diversity to make a lasting impact on innovation in Europe.
