EIT-BEST · NCP EIT Training, Networking and Best Practices Initiative

The overall aim of EIT-BEST is to address the challenges faced by the network of EIT National Contact Points (NCPs), enhancing their capacity to provide efficient, harmonized, and accessible support services. The project aims to make the EIT and its Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) more visible, accessible, and comprehensible at national, European and global levels. By leveraging the expertise of a diverse consortium of 24 partners with varying levels of relevant experience, spanning 22 countries, EIT-BEST will empower NCPs to deliver standardized and high-quality support services. The project will focus on fostering collaboration with KICs, exchanging best practices, and creating synergies with other EU programs, ensuring the effective dissemination of EIT opportunities and resources. EIT-BEST will implement tailored actions, including targeted training sessions, toolkits for newcomers, and workshops, complemented by events aimed at capacity building and enhancing outreach. These measures will ensure the widespread accessibility and impact of EIT services, strengthening the network of NCPs and amplifying the visibility of the EIT Community.
