lpv:spoken text	"Education, research and innovation are windows to the future. They are the building blocks of what is called the ‘knowledge triangle’. We need to be competitive. The knowledge triangle is one of the keys. I support the text, since the Commission proposal to create a European Institute of Technology (EIT) aims to tackle one of Europe’s main weaknesses: the lack of innovation. I see the EIT as an investment for the future. Before there was some scepticism as to the added value EIT could offer. The proposed network structure is a good solution. The expertise lies in the participating universities and higher education institutions. Remembering my academic years, I also support the idea of the EIT’s ‘Knowledge and Innovation Communities’ (KICs) being autonomous. Selection of such centres will be based on a criterion of excellence. I support this, because this way the EIT KICs will give the best kicks to European innovation."@en1
