European innovation institute extends board application period

Four ‘innovation leaders’ sought for four-year, non-renewable terms governing EIT

The European Institute of Innovation and Technology—an EU body that supports knowledge exchange between research, innovation and education organisations—has pushed back the deadline for applications to join its governing board.

Originally due by 30 September, applications can now be submitted until 16 November. The EIT is looking to replace four of its 12 board members, who are selected from “innovation leaders” for a four-year, non-renewable term.
