EIT Manufacturing

The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) is an EU body created by the European Union in 2008 with funds from the EU’s Framework Programme Horizon 2020 for business, education and research development. Whole EIT brings together more than 1000 partners, who are divided into 8 sector-oriented communities. Since 2018 the EIT Manufacturing belongs amongst them as well. Its main focus is to promote innovation in European manufacturing sector and aims to increase its global competitiveness, sustainability, and productivity. Apart from the direct project opportunities EIT Manufacturing facilitates also various possibilities for development of profound international cooperation. EIT Manufacturing establishes an innovation community and is building a network of ecosystems where people can acquire skills and find opportunities; and where innovators are able to attract investors.

EIT Manufacturing at a Glance here.

The core of the EIT Manufacturing consortium has grown from the original fifty entities to the current 60 from 17 European countries. CTU joined EIT Manufacturing as the only Czech full member through two of its parts – Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FME CTU) and Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics, and Cybernetics (CIIRC CTU). These two workplaces in cooperation with other European partners implement various projects, usually annual, in areas of transfer of digital knowledge in Industry 4.0, training and education activities to increase qualifications for working with advanced production technologies, but also, for example, digital transformation of companies.

EIT Manufacturing Hub in the Czech Republic

In 2020 CTU became the EIT Manufacturing Hub for the Czech Republic. The aim of EIT Manufacturing Hub is to develop a national innovation ecosystem with focus on manufacturing. Czech universities, research institutes, manufacturing companies and startups can therefore participate more easily in projects administered by EIT Manufacturing. CTU interconnects these subjects via networking and educational activities into a knowledge triangle, which enables them to share more efficiently good practice in research, business and higher education.
