EIT Alumni CONNECT 2015

The EIT Alumni CONNECT event will bring together more than 100 students and alumni from Climate-KIC, EIT ICT Labs and KIC InnoEnergy, and gives the opportunity to:

• share their knowledge and experiences and discuss their entrepreneurial ideas with fellow students/alumni in a cross-disciplinary way;
• contribute to the development of the EIT Alumni Community by developing ideas and proposing ways to implement them jointly;
• find partners for exchange of ideas and potential collaboration (e.g. start-ups searching for people with specific skills). 

The EIT Alumni Connect Event is an integral part of INNOVEIT2015 – the EIT Innovation Forum. KIC Students and alumni are invited to participate in the entire event from 5 to7 May and will have the opportunity to:

• meet and discuss their ideas with successful innovators and entrepreneurs, including EIT Awards nominees, as well as EU and national policy makers and innovation experts;
• meet and network with the EIT Community, including the new EIT Health and EIT Raw Materials communities;
• feed-back their ideas and opinions on the EIT`s plan and strategy for the future, especially at the Stakeholder Forum (day 3).
