Implementing mission-driven science and innovation programmes
No. 02-002-P-0001
The project “Implementing Mission-Based Science and Innovation Programmes” will be implemented in three priority mission themes under the smart specialisation priorities:
- “Secure and Inclusive e-Society” – implemented by the Kaunas University of Technology consortium;
- “Smart and Climate Neutral Lithuania” – implemented by the Vilnius Gediminas Technical University consortium;
- “Innovations for Health” – implemented by the Vilnius University Consortium.
The missions in the different themes will promote joint science-business cooperation projects, develop and commercialise business and scientific ideas through the establishment of start-ups/ spin-offs, conduct basic or early-stage research, fill existing gaps in services and infrastructure for research and experimental development (R&D) activities at higher levels of technological readiness. The project will address the lack of incubators for spin-offs/startups, prototyping spaces, pilot production lines.The project activities will be implemented by April 2026. During this period, 3 Centres of Excellence will be set up (one per theme), 23 R&D projects will be implemented, 41 prototypes and 32 unique products will be developed, 19 international patent applications will be filed, 55 scientific publications will be published and 21 start-ups/spinoffs will be established.
