The Innovation Study Tours call invites universities, research organisations, innovation hubs, and other ecosystem partners to design and deliver 5-10 day international study tours focused on digital innovation, entrepreneurship, and deep-tech ecosystems.

The programme aims to provide participants with hands-on exposure to leading innovation environments through company visits, workshops, networking activities, and cultural experiences. Proposed tours must involve at least 15 participants and be implemented between January and February 2027.

Applicants can choose between two formats:

• Global Exposure – taking European participants to innovation ecosystems outside Europe.
• European Immersion – bringing international participants to explore European innovation ecosystems.

Proposals will be evaluated based on their strategic relevance, educational impact, quality of the host ecosystem, and organisational capacity.
