This Regional Innovation Scheme (RIS) Implementation Framework aims to provide the European Institute of Innovation and Technology’s (EIT) Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) with guidance fully aligned with the EIT’s strategy and priorities for 2021 to 2027.
It is based on the Strategic and Innovation Agenda and maintains coherence with the Horizon Europe Framework Programme for Research and Innovation.
This 2025 edition of the Implementation Framework focuses on the 2025-2027 period. In this context, it updates the EIT RIS Implementation Framework, which was originally adopted in 2021, revised in 2022, and covered the 2022-2027 period.
Additionally, this edition incorporates elements previously contained in the EIT RIS Hubs Minimum Standards and Guiding Principles, which were adopted in 2022.
