The European Alliance for Innovation (EAI) is an international professional association and a nonprofit organization.[10] The goal of EAI is to promote fruitful research and help innovation reach the market through community collaboration.

The head headquarters of EAI are located in Ghent, Belgium. Other offices are located in the Slovak Republic, Germany and the USA.[11] The office in Bratislava was created in cooperation with the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava by signing a Memorandum of Understanding.[12]

The organisation was founded by professor Imrich Chlamtac in 2010 and currently EAI has over 27 000 individual members, more than 250 institutional members and is active on all continents.[13]

The company organizes events and conferences and provides support for the members, trying to improve the rate at which innovations reach the market.

Publication activities

EAI publishes scientific magazines and journals through its own community-driven publication platform called European Union Digital Library (EUDL).[14] For online publications EAI uses its e-Scripts system,[15] while EUDL houses a database of peer reviewed scientific publications.

Event activities

EAI organizes over 70 conferences and summits every year.[16] These include:

Collaborations

The European Alliance for Innovation has set up strong collaboration and a strategic partnership with the International Federation of Inventors' Associations (IFIA).
