Since its establishment, the EIT RIS, which is steered by the EIT and implemented by its Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs), has successfully lead to a significant expansion of EIT Community activities to more countries and regions across Europe, contributing to a pan-European spread of EIT Community engagement opportunities and networks. in which the participating teams work on implementing their ideas from inception to presentable project or prototype in 54 hours. This year we are aimed at urban mobility, where a group of experts and students in the fields of urban issues, business, UX, marketing and big data work together to create innovative solutions for our cities. During the weekend, the teams will be accompanied by experienced mentors and speakers. The culmination of the evening are 5-minute presentations, Q&A and evaluation by a panel of judges who will select the 3 winning teams.
