Chronicle : As originally conceived four years ago by José Manuel Barroso, the president of the European Commission, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) would be a single MIT-like institute of pan-European science and engineering excellence. In the face of opposition from Europe’s established universities and a recession-depleted budget, that plan has been scaled back to a network of research centers housed at existing institutions. The Chronicle‘s Aisha Labi reports on the EIT’s current state and prospects.
