Annex – part 2 – point 2.1 – point 2.1.2 – paragraph 1
In order to further enhance impact and to incentivise innovation in new areas of societal challenges, the EIT will gradually expand its portfolio of KICs. By following an incremental development path in establishing new KICs, the EIT will ensure that lessons learned from previous rounds are duly taken into consideration, and that KICs are set up only in areas where there is a clear innovation potential and top-class excellence to build on. In the period 2014- 2020, new KICs will therefore be set up in two waves, i.e. three new KICs each in 2014 and 2018, leading up to a portfolio of nine KICs in the period 2014-2020 (equalling the set-up of 40-50 co-location centres across the EU). A potential new selection process for KICs in 2018 shall strongly build on the results of a thorough external evaluation of the EIT and existing KICs, including an assessment of KICs' economic and societal impact and the contribution of the EIT to strengthening the innovation capacity of the EU and Member States, as well as on the results from the evaluations of Horizon 2020.

Annex – part 2 – point 2.1 – point 2.1.2 – paragraph 8 – introductory part
In view of the two waves of KIC selections foreseen in 2014 and 2018, three themes have been identified for the first wave. Reflecting the need for a gradual approach in establishing new KICs, the selection of the first three themes has been based on the maturity of the fieldneed to identify and select the strongest KICs with the greatest chance of quickly reaching critical mass, the KIC selection process in 2014 will be open to KIC applications within all six themes in a competitive process. The number of KICs selected will depend on the maturity and readiness of European consortia to form credible KICs, the potential societal and economic impact, as well as thend opportunities for synergies with other initiatives. They are:, as well as the absorption capacity of the EIT and the budget available. The selection process shall be fully transparent.

In the management of the KICs, the EIT shall stress the competitive aspects through ensuring that the Union funding corresponds to the performance of the KICs. If a KIC does not deliver on the criteria set up for the KICs, the EIT can interrupt its funding, after a certain explicit period of time defined in the agreement with the KICs.

Annex – part 2 – point 2.2 – paragraph 2
In the future, the EIT must work to make the KIC experience understandable and replicable and build it into a culture that can act as a role model in Europe and beyond. Under Horizon 2020 EIT will develop the KIC concept further to support the development of European innovation culture in all member states. By identifying, analysing and sharing good practices, as well as new governance and funding models from the KICs, the EIT seeks to ensure that knowledge generated within the EIT and its KICs is disseminated and capitalised upon for the benefit of people and institutions, including those not directly participating in the KICs.

As a measure to support this process, the EIT will develop a scheme for association of so called affiliated co-location centres or innovation hubs in countries which do not host any co-location centre. These co- location centres should not be required to become full members of a KIC. The KICs will manage open call procedures to establish these affiliated co-location centres which will primarily support KIC innovation activities and bring added value to the KIC. The affiliated nodes are recognized through their high potential for innovation, by means of demonstration facilities, test sites, technology parks, incubators etc. They may also become first costumers of KIC enabled technologies, demonstrating their feasibility and use to society, facilitating access to end users. In this fashion, they may also attract start-ups from the KICs as investment of risk capital. Activities performed by the affiliated co-location centres should mainly be funded through regional and national funding sources, the Structural funds, in combination with the funding of the EITs specific people scheme; the EIT fellowship programme. Through this association scheme the EIT will enhance its pan-European impact and relevance with the objective that each KIC develop at least two affiliated innovation hubs/co-location centres during the period 2014-2020. The identification of suitable candidates should be made through an open and transparent call procedure, managed by the individual KICs.

· In close cooperation with the KICs, establish a scheme for association of so called affiliated co-location centres in countries which do not host any co- location centre. These will primarily support KIC innovation activities through their high potential for innovation and access to first costumers and end users of KIC enabled technologies, by means of demonstration facilities, test sites, etc.
