European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT) [1] has published a new presentation on the 2016 KIC
call on its webpage: http://eit.europa.eu/interact/bookshelf/presentation-2016-call-kic-proposals

As an integral part of Horizon 2020, the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, the EIT spurs innovation and entrepreneurship across the European Union.

To further enhance its impact and to incentivise the innovations needed to meet societal challenges, we’re continuing to expand our activities in 2016 by launching a call for two new Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs):

• EIT Food: ensuring a climate-resilient and sustainable global food value chain

• EIT Manufacturing: strengthening and increasing the competitiveness of Europe’s manufacturing industry.
