Annex – point 1.1 – paragraph 1
In a rapidly changing world, Europe’s pathway to the future rests on growth which is smart, sustainable and inclusive. To achieve this goal and to remain competitive in the global knowledge economy, the ‘knowledge triangle’ of research, education and innovation and the interaction between these three sides hasve been recognised, aslongside entrepreneurship, as being among the key driving forces. The European Union has acted accordingly and identified these fields as policy priorities in its Europe 2020 strategy. These priorities are notably implemented through the flagship initiatives ‘Innovation Union’ and ‘Youth on the Move’, which form the overarching policy framework for EU actions in these fields. They are complemented by the flagship initiatives on an ‘Integrated Industrial Policy for the Globalisation Era’ and on a ‘Resource- Efficient Europe’. The European Institute of Innovation and Technology will fully contribute to achieving the goals of these flagship initiatives.

Moreover, the EIT has a clear role to play in attracting talent from outside the EU, in particular from European Neighbourhood Policy countries. By creating a strong brand and forging strategic relations with key partners from around the globe, the EIT can add to the attractiveness of the partners within the KICs. In close cooperation with the KICs, the EIT should develop a strong international strategy, identifying and liaising relevant interlocutors and potential partners. In this context the EIT and its KICs should take full advantage of existing EU initiatives in the area, such as the ‘Erasmus for all’ programme and the Marie Curie Actions. In addition, the EIT can foster knowledge sharing, mentoring and networking by encouraging the setting up of an EIT alumni network.
