The involvement of business at both the strategic and operational levels is the cornerstone of the whole EIT initiative.
The Governing Board members will be appointed in June 2008. In January, the Commission already set up an ad-hoc Identification Committee[1] whose task is to identify and propose future members of the Board.
In this capacity, the Committee has just launched an open consultation on the main criteria to be taken into account. The entire identification process is expected to take approximately four months.
The first two or three KICs will be selected within 18 months after the appointment of the Governing Board. The focus will be on strategic areas where the EU faces vital current and future challenges.
These are likely to include climate change, renewable energies and the next generation of information and communication technologies.
