KIC – Knowledge and Innovation Communities

Uppsala University is part of the European KIC InnoEnergy consortium since 2010 together with KTH. In 2014, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) chose to back two new consortiums focusing on innovation in the areas of health and materials, consortiums which Uppsala University are part of: EIT Health promotes entrepreneurship and develops innovations in healthy living and active ageing. EIT Raw Materials deals with issues of raw materials, for instance sustainable exploration, extraction, and recycling.
