ExpectedOutcome:Proposals are expected to contribute to the following outcomes:

Scope:This action will promote industry-academia knowledge exchange focussing on companies’ research and innovation needs, complementing university-business collaboration in line with the European Skills Agenda for sustainable competitiveness, social fairness and resilience[1].
This activity will build on already existing instruments in the field of university-business cooperation such as EIT Knowledge Innovation Communities and Knowledge Alliance. Gap analysis of the existing EU instruments in the field of university-business cooperation shows that there is a need for enhancing support for ad-hoc collaborations focussing on companies’ specific needs. This activity will develop and pilot a standard collaboration module that will support short-term gender-balanced co-creation teams of HEI[2] students, researchers and companies own R&D personnel to work jointly to solve the company’s identified R&I and business challenges. The applicants should elaborate how they will develop this in coordination with the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) to avoid duplication, explore complementary forms and means of service provisions distinct to the EIT KICs, and allow possible use of existing EIT networks. The minimum number of co-creation teams that need to be supported in a geographically balanced way is 300. The students and researchers in each co-creation team must come from at least three EU Member States or Associated Countries. Participation of companies across the EU and Associated Countries should be ensured with particular emphasis on widening countries. The action should create links with other relevant initiatives related to industry-academia collaboration.
The co-creation process will be facilitated by a collaborative module through which companies can find the most suitable, skilled and motivated international teams on ad-hoc basis to work together with the company staff to find a solution to the company’s identified challenge. The collaborative module will be in charge of matching the company’s needs with individuals to form a bespoke and fit-for-purpose interdisciplinary diverse team to tackle the particular challenge. Furthermore, the module will be in charge of the project management for the co-creation teams and provide the teams with professional guidance and facilitation to solve the defined challenges within 4-8 weeks. If applicants propose to provide financial support to third parties to support co-creation teams they will need to describe conditions for submission, evaluation and selection of proposals of third parties.
