EIC Accelerator panels taxonomy

Identify the most relevant keywords that correspond to your innovation.

In the preparation of your proposal, you are requested to select associated keywords from a predefined list. It is of the utmost importance that you select the highest number of relevant keywords that correspond to your proposal with a maximum of three main keywords and three sub-keywords. By selecting the most appropriate keywords you ensure that your proposal is attributed to expert-evaluators who have the most relevant thematic knowledge to adequately evaluate it.
