Proposal for a decision Annex – point 2.1.2 – paragraph 2 New KICs will be set up in areas of large societal challenges which offer a true innovation potential. The EIT thereby fully contributes to the goals of the larger EU policy agenda and in particular to the objectives of Horizon 2020, which identifies a number of large societal challenges, and enabling and industrial technologies. The objective is to set up KICs in thematic areas which, due to their magnitude and complex nature, can only be addressed through a cross-disciplinary, cross-border, and cross-sectoral approach. The selection of the thematic fields therefore needs to be based on a careful analysis as to whether a KIC can bring true added value and have a positive impact on economy and society. Allocation of funds for new KICs shall be provided on a competitive basis and taking into consideration the quality and potential of the projects, while ensuring enough funding for each KIC to actually deliver innovation.
