The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) plans to set up one-stop-shops for its services across Europe’s less innovative regions, most of which lie in eastern and central Europe. These regions are part of the Regional Innovation Scheme (RIS), where in recent years EIT has been working to strengthen local innovation capacities. Now, it wants to maximise its presence by giving innovators easier access to training, funding, guidance on launching start-up and other services. Two pilots will be launched in Latvia and North Macedonia. In Latvia, for example, there are six or seven hubs, ranging from health to food focused ones, and its innovators may be confused about where to go to get help. In North Macedonia there are no hubs, though there is a national contact point that people can go to for support. Under the plan, hubs representing all eight communities will be established in the two countries by the end of the year, in a bid to ensure EIT is better positioned

Output Managers: all FORTHEM universities, contact - Mecopes@lu.lv MeCOPES: Mechanisms of coping with pandemic-induced individual economic shocks is a longitudinal study on resilience during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Addressed to anyone working in or closely related to creative industries (e.g. artists, actors, musicians, DJs, professional athletes, guides, backstage workers, event planners, caterers, florists …). The aims of this research is to: → gain a better understanding of the ways pandemics affect societies to prepare for potential future crises. → look at how flexible people being employed in the creative industries are to face such a crisis → learn how the state-imposed disease control strategies have affected people's overall wellbeing and economic situation. The results will serve as an exit point to help policy makers draft better strategies in the future. Outputs: → An online questionnaire → Accompanying seminars on the topic of resilience and coding

Dr. Manuel Fernandez, director and leading researcher at the Scientific Institute of Pedagogy of the Faculty of Education, Psychology and Art of the University of Latvia was in Cairo, Egypt from 10.11.2015 to 11.13.2015 in order to participate in the kick-off meeting of the project "International Diploma for STEM Teachers / eSTEM" within Erasmus + Key Action 2 "Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices - Capacity Building in Higher Education" program. Despite the large traffic chaos that reigns in Cairo, the meeting was held according to the plan: the first day the participants presented their institutions (a total of 10 partners), and discussed the content and scope of the project 'work packages'. The next day the STEM diploma structure and design are discussed, and partners worked on the future STEM resource centre. At the end the partners agreed on project management and financial issues and fixed the next meeting in the Spring 2016 in Sweden. "I'm very happy
