• High degree of integration: each KIC is an

independent legal entity, gathering world-

class partners from across the knowledge

triangle based on a contractual

relationship/partnership with the EIT.

• Long-term strategic approach: each KIC is set

up for a minimum of 7 years to eventually

become sustainable.

• Autonomy and flexibility: to determine

organisational structure and activities

governed by a Board of KIC partner

organisations.

• Effective governance: run by a CEO and a

lean management team at central and co-

location centre level.
