EIT ICT Labs develops a number joint European Catalysts which will deliver change and enhancement to the whole range of EIT ICTLabs education activities. The will affect educational content, course delivery and mobility of our students and teachers. Catalysts are supposed to directly support EIT quality criteria for EIT labeled education.

EIT ICTLabs education activities comprise (i) Master School, (ii) Doctoral School, (iii) Post-doctoral program, and (iv) Outreach towards the stakeholders outside the KIC. Most catalysts are focused on particular education activities such as the Master School or Doctoral School but can in some cases provide a common infrastructure to the both, such as mobility.

The currently developed set of catalyst are: E&I module (´minor´), mobility program with focus on internships, co-location centre activities, summer & winter schools & camps, industrial doctoral training centre and finally accreditation and quality assurance system.

The development of the E&I module catalyst is done in collaboration with well established European Business Schools. The Co-location Centre activities will expose students to other stakeholders in EIT ICT Labs. Mobility/internships will provide hands-on experience by extensive embedded project work, with external projects owners.
