I’m glad to confirm to become an independent expert of the Green Deal programme to the European Commission – European Innovation Council (EIC) !

In practice it means a participation in the evaluation process of applications for max.€ 17.5 million to Green Deal calls submitted to the European Innovation Council (EIC).
