On Thursday 24th August, 4pm-5:30pm, Tangent, Trinity’s Ideas Workspace, hosted an EIT RawMaterials Information Session and Networking opportunity for TCD Principal Investigators and spin-out companies with an interest in submitting funding proposals for the next round of EIT RawMaterials education and innovation/upscaling call for proposals.

The event provided an ideal opportunity for attendees to meet other like-minded forerunners hoping to collaborate and explore lucrative funding opportunities for their next innovation, upscaling or education project. The event helped to demystify the complexities of EIT, an independent body of the EU which spurs innovation and entrepreneurship across Europe to overcome some of its greatest challenges. Speakers included Ulf Orrebrink, Innovation/Upscaling Manager Baltic Sea and North Region CLC, and Olli Salmi, Baltic Sea & North Regional Director.
