EISMEAhandling

EISMEAhandling is a term that refers to the process of managing and administering programs and initiatives related to the European Innovation Council (EIC) and the Single Market Programme (SMP) by the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA). EISMEA is an executive agency of the European Commission responsible for implementing parts of Horizon Europe and the Single Market Programme.

The agency's role involves overseeing funding opportunities, grant agreements, and project management for a range of European innovation and competitiveness initiatives. This includes supporting innovative startups and SMEs, fostering research and development, and promoting the smooth functioning of the European single market. EISMEA handles various aspects such as calls for proposals, evaluation of applications, contract negotiation, financial management, and monitoring the progress and impact of funded projects.

The objective of EISMEAhandling is to ensure efficient and effective delivery of EU policies in these critical areas. By centralizing the management of these programs, EISMEA aims to streamline administrative processes, provide clear guidance to beneficiaries, and maximize the impact of EU investments in innovation and the single market. This encompasses activities related to the EIC's Pathfinder, Accelerator, and Transition programs, as well as the Single Market Programme's objectives.
