EIT InnoEnergy is not a traditional university but a private company focused on sustainable energy innovation. Established in 2010, it operates as a knowledge and innovation community under the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a public EU body. While it collaborates with universities and research institutions, it functions independently as a private entity.
Its primary mission is to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy through education, innovation projects, and business creation. It offers master’s and doctoral programs in partnership with European universities but does not grant degrees itself.
