Reorganize funding programs and create application documents 
- Reorganized funding program structure: moved standalone .md files into organized directories with PROGRAM_INFO.md and APPLICATION_SCOPE.md
- Created budget files for selected priority programs:
  * EIC Accelerator: budget_breakdown.csv and budget_justification.md (€1.815M)
  * ZIM: budget_breakdown.csv and budget_justification.md (€465k)
  * DBU: budget_breakdown.csv and budget_justification.md (€152.5k)
  * LIFE Programme: budget_breakdown.csv and budget_justification.md (€1.815M)
- Created team CV files for all selected programs (CV_Damir_Mukimov.md)
- Added application documents structure:
  * funding/applications/budget/ - Master budget files and templates
  * funding/applications/team_cvs/ - Master CV and team expertise summary
- Updated FUNDING_GAP_ANALYSIS.md to reflect completed documents
- Added APPLICATION_REQUIREMENTS_REPORT.md with detailed requirements
- Added PREPARATION_PRIORITY.md for application preparation workflow

Raw Blame History

European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT) Initiatives

Overview

EIT provides grants, awards, and accelerator support for innovation and startups, with strong focus on circular economy and sustainability solutions.

Managing Bodies

EIT Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs):

  • EIT Climate-KIC
  • EIT RawMaterials
  • EIT Manufacturing

Funding Type

Grants, awards, and accelerator support for innovation and startups

Funding Amount

  • €50k up to €500k+ depending on program
  • EIT RawMaterials Booster/ERMA Calls: Up to €500k for startups/scale-ups, €2.5M for larger projects
  • Smaller Booster grants: ~€60k
  • EIT Climate-KIC Accelerator: €10–50k in stages, up to €210k per project

Deadlines

  • Vary by KIC program
  • Many have annual or biannual calls
  • EIT Climate-KIC: 2024–25 call (18-month climate innovation support program)

Eligibility

  • Startups/SMEs or project consortia within EIT member regions
  • Requirements differ by call (TRL ~4–7 for Booster grants)
