This involvement is crucial for the project's results, the sustainability of its effects and the transfer of the developed solutions to a higher – strategic level.
The leadership project I manage is one of nearly seventy projects funded under the prestigious EU pilot programme HEI EIT Initiative, which supports universities in building innovative and entrepreneurial potential. Research units participating in the programme are to become the motor engine of the innovation ecosystem in the EU by 2027

During the workshop in Prague, the RiEcoLab team members also discussed the so-called "deep technologies" as an innovative approach to innovation. Deep tech innovations are indispensable in accelerating the green and digital transformation, addressing the most pressing global challenges, such as climate change, sustainable energy and health.
