 On May 31 – June 1, 2023, the Workshop entitled “Innovation Vision Action Plan (IVAP) Workshop 2023” was held with great success and high attendance by the HEI Program of the European Institute for Innovation and Technology (EIT).

The event aimed to bring together all the Initiative’s teams and projects to collaborate and strengthen their Action Plans to achieve the European Union’s Innovation Vision. The workshop offered as part of the event had a collaborative and interactive design and helped the representatives of the consortia to understand better the Initiative (HEI Programme), as well as to ask questions of the representatives of the EIT on various issues related to the physical and economic subject of their works.
