Cross KIC EIT Innovation & Business Creation Business Plan 2026

Proposals should be submitted through the official EIT Urban Mobility Programmes Portal (NetSuite), accessed here.

Further instructions for the submission of proposals are found in the Connect & Co-create NEB 2027 Call Manual, Section 7.2.

Proposals will first be checked for admissibility and eligibility, Call Manual Section 5. Proposals found admissible and eligible will be evaluated against the award criteria by an Evaluation Panel, consisting of one external expert evaluator and one internal expert evaluator from a participating KIC (EIT Urban Mobility, EIT Food and Climate KIC). See section 6.2 of the Call Manual. The external expert evaluators will produce a Summary Evaluation Report for each proposal assessed. The SERs will be discussed and finalised in a consensus meeting attended by the Evaluation Panel.

For Connect NEB, a ranking list will be created to select 8 proposals for funding, each of them equal and over 35 points. For Co-create NEB, all proposals equal or above 45 points will be ranked by score within their primary thematic area (Climate, Urban Mobility or Food), as indicated in the application form. Up to 3 top ranked proposals may be selected from each thematic area, amounting to 9 funded projects.

If the number of eligible, high-quality proposals exceeds the available budget, a reserve list may be established. Following the award decision, all applicants will be informed of the results via email. All applicants will receive their Summary Evaluation Report.

Applications must be submitted through the EIT Urban Mobility Programmes Portal (NetSuite). Detailed information on the submission and evaluation process is available on the EIT Urban Mobility website (Call page accessible here), and in the Call Manual (accessible here).

For further information, the Guidelines for Applicants are accessible (Connect NEB and Co-create NEB). Register to the information session on 3rd September, find more information on how to register here.
