Registration is now open for the in-person info day dedicated to the European Innovation Council (EIC) Pathfinder Challenges under the 2024 EIC Work Programme, which was published in mid-December 2023.
This in-person info day takes place within the framework of the R&I Week, right after the EIC Summit 2024.
During the event, the EIC Programme Managers Carina Faber, Franc Mouwen, Ivan Stefanic, Isabel Obieta and Stela Tkatchova will present in parallel sessions their respective 2024 EIC Pathfinder Challenges, which this year include:
- ”Solar-to-X” devices

- Protecting EU space infrastructure
After the presentations, the participants in each of the parallel sessions will have the possibility to briefly present their ideas for a project on the topic of the session and/or describe their competences relevant to the Challenge of interest, in order to explore the possibilities for joint work with other participants.
