Information about new KIC-Call: Food4Future and Added-value Manufacturing
The European Institute of Technology (EIT) published the “key assumptions” for the 2016 Call for KICs
(Knowledge and Innovation Communities). The new KICs will address the thematic fields of
• Food4Future: Sustainable Supply Chain from Resources to Consumers, and
• Added-value Manufacturing.
Selection criteria for the 2016 call will be published in the fourth quarter of 2015. The launch of the call will be
in the first quarter of 2016.

conditions shall be met:
either
• at least 60% of the overall budget of the proposal must be allocated to consortium partner(s) from
industry, or:
