Funding for new EIT Talents internships has now been fully allocated - a reflection of the strong interest and participation in the InnoNext initiative.

While new internship activations for EIT Talents are temporarily on hold, we are exploring possibilities for future funding opportunities.

For EIT Talents: Applications for new internships are not being accepted at this time. We encourage you to stay tuned for upcoming opportunities by signing up to InnoNext to receive updates and notifications about new funding opportunities and announcements from EIT.

For Hosting Companies: New EIT Talents internship activations are temporarily paused.

The program continues normally for all other talent categories (ERC, EIC Pathfinder, MSCA, RI) and for all hosting companies, including those from the ElT community.
