EIC Accelerator November Cut-off: Faster Batches, Faster Decisions

Live Webinar · 7 October 2026

The final EIC Accelerator cut-off of 2026 is approaching.

With the introduction of the new batched evaluation cycle every two months, the timing, due-diligence process, and application strategy for the EIC Accelerator have changed significantly.

If you missed the July or September cut-offs, the November batch is your final opportunity to apply in 2026.

This focused 90-minute webinar explains what is different in the new evaluation cycle, how the streamlined due-diligence process affects applicants, and when it makes strategic sense to apply now versus waiting for Q1 2027.

Whether you are preparing a first submission or considering a resubmission strategy, this session will help you make informed decisions before the final cut-off of the year.
