The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) and the JRC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on 22 September at the EIT’s headquarters in Budapest.
Tibor Navracsics, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport, responsible for both the JRC and the EIT, stressed that innovation and research require effective cooperation. I am very pleased to see that the EIT, Europe’s largest innovation community, and the JRC, the European Commission’s science and knowledge service, are stepping up their cooperation. By working more closely together, the EIT and the JRC will even more successfully support innovation, science and knowledge, and the sustainable economic growth they help to bring about. This agreement is a forward-looking and important step that confirms their commitment to boosting Europe’s competitiveness and its citizens’ wellbeing and skills.
