About EAIC

The European Association of Innovation Consultants (EAIC) gathers active Innovation Consultants in the field of European research and innovation projects. The association aims to facilitate the exchange of experience and good practices among its members, as well as to promote professional skills and expertise in European R&I Projects.

Our Vision

Become the recognised pan-European reference for professional, high-quality consulting services for R&I related funding programmes.

Our purpose

The European Association of Innovation Consultants aims to elaborate synergies among consultancy companies in Europe. By joining forces on goals of common interest, the currently fragmented landscape of consultancy companies could enhance the impact of actions at European level.

We aim to...

1.	Create synergies between European consulting companies specialized in research and innovation (R&I) financing and management to promote the added value their professional services bring to R&I collaborations in Europe and carry out actions of common interests and benefits for its members.

2.	Enhance a positive image of European professional innovation consulting companies by ensuring and maintaining high professionalism and ethical values among members.

3.	Represent the EAIC towards European institutions and stakeholders to defend the specific expertise and professionalism of EAIC members and acknowledge the increased project impact they deliver to the European research community.

4.	Identify common issues and goals of its members and pursue them in a coordinated manner on a national level by contributing to national concertation and enhancing direct dialogues with the different representations of the EU Member States.
