In this webinar, Claire Griffin from Innovate UK and the UK’s National Contact Point for European Innovation Council (EIC) will discuss the upcoming EIC Pathfinder Challenge opportunities across the following areas:
-
Breakthroughs in advanced materials for future resilient, sustainable and efficient energy grids – Session 1, 1pm to 2pm
-
Safe and controlled continual learning in open world for reliable AI agents (CLOWAI) – Session 2, 2pm to 3pm
-
Quantum energetics – Session 3, 3pm to 4pm
The EIC Pathfinder programme is for multi-disciplinary research teams to undertake visionary research with the potential to lead technology breakthroughs. EIC Pathfinder Challenges aim to build on new, cutting-edge directions in science and technology to disrupt a field and a market or create new opportunities by realising innovative technology solutions grounded in high-risk/high gain research and development.
With each specific Challenge, a portfolio of projects will be established that explore different perspectives, competing approaches or complementary aspects of the Challenge. The complexity and high-risk nature of this research will require multi-disciplinary collaborations.
These are very competitive calls, and the aim of these webinars is to help you prepare ahead of the calls opening in 2027.
Who should attend?
This webinar series is ideal for UK researchers, innovators, and organisations interested in applying to one of the EIC 2027 Pathfinder Challenges.
There will be opportunities for questions and answers following each of the individual sessions.
