Background information
The EIC Transition is a funding programme under Horizon Europe targeting innovation activities that goes beyond the experimental proof of principle in laboratory. It supports both the maturation and validation of novel technologies from the lab to the relevant application environments. It provides grants of up to €2.5 million to validate and demonstrate technology in application-relevant environment (starting at TRL 3/ 4 aiming to achieve TRL 5/ 6) and develop business and market readiness, as well as booster grants of up to €50,000 to undertake complementary activities to explore potential pathways to commercialisation or for portfolio activities.
