Scope: The KIC’s Business Plan 2023-2025, describing the activities at portfolio level aligned to the EIT Food Strategic Agenda in the framework of the EIT Strategic Agenda 2021-2027.
Objectives
- Relevant and appropriate EIT Food Business Plan for 2023-2025 implementation of the KIC’s multiannual strategy Strategic, demonstrating its excellence (including objectives and ambition; methodology; financial sustainability), its impact (including KIC’s pathways towards impact; measures to maximise impact – dissemination, exploitation and communication) and its quality and efficiency of the implementation (including work plan and resources at portfolio level; capacity of participants and KIC Partnership as a whole).
- To address EIT Food‘s target societal challenges and Knowledge Triangle Integration (KTI), contributing to achieving the future high-level results and impacts included in the EIT Impact Framework.
- KIC’s objectives/priorities in this Business Plan, describing its objectives using SMART criteria (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound) and why are they pertinent to the KIC Strategic Agenda.
Funding Information
The check will normally be done for the coordinator if the requested grant amount is equal to or greater than EUR 500 000, except for:
- public bodies (entities established as a public body under national law, including local, regional or national authorities) or international organisations; and
- cases where the individual requested grant amount is not more than EUR 60 000 (low value grant).
Expected Impact: In response to this topic, EIT Food should show how the KIC could contribute to the outcomes and impacts described in the KIC Strategic Agenda and the KPIs in the EIT Impact Framework following the specific EIT Food’s Impact Pathways, the likely scale and significance of this contribution, and the measures to maximise these impacts in the context of Horizon Europe. Each activity included in the Business Plan should contribute to at least one core EIT KPI.
