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.
Missions on different themes will promote joint science-business cooperation projects, develop and commercialise business and scientific ideas through start-ups/ spin-offs, conduct basic or early-stage research, and fill existing gaps in services and infrastructures for research and experimental development (R&D) activities at high 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.
Project objectives:
“Secure and Inclusive e-Society” – to increase cyber resilience and reduce the risks of privacy breaches and personal data leakage, which will contribute to improving Lithuania’s cybersecurity situation and ensure a safer and more inclusive digital society.
“Smart and Climate Neutral Lithuania – to improve the quality of the environment and reduce air pollution by contributing to the reduction of Lithuania’s greenhouse gas emissions and promoting the use of sustainable solutions in the construction sector and accelerating the transformation of the construction market towards sustainability and zero waste.
“Innovations for Health – setting up a gene translation technology centre.
Project funding:
Funded under The Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) and the state budget of the Republic of Lithuania.
Project results:
Planned project results:
– Investments in Centres of Excellence – Establishment of 3 Centres of Excellence (construction and purchase of R&D equipment);
– Joint Mission Programmes – implementation of 23 R&D projects;
– Innovation support and advisory services.
Period of project implementation: 2023-08-01 - 2026-04-30
