For the first time, higher education will interact on an equal footing with other partners. Integrating the “knowledge triangle”

17. 6/25/1017 The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) has designated the InnoEnergy consortium as one of its first 3 KICs (Knowledge and Innovation Communities). InnoEnergy's partners are KULeuven, VITO, the Technical University Eindhoven, TNO and Eandis. InnoEnergy will combine the knowledge and experience of business, research and education for the development of intelligent energy efficient buildings and cities.
