European Institute of Technology (EIT)

UEAPME has carefully followed the new initiative of the European Commission to create the EIT which is aimed to be a European flagship covering at the same time research, innovation and education as one of the new European contribution to the Lisbon goals.

UEAPME will support the concept of EIT as long as the structure, its functioning and its results will bring a tangible added value in respect to the various already existing European bodies, programmes, actions and initiatives to strengthen innovation and research and development, and as long as SMEs will be fully involved in the whole process and their needs taken in due consideration.
