The European Institute of Innovation and Technology – EIT and Climate-KIC
In 2008, the European Commission launched EIT, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, now part of Horizon 2020 (and will be included in Horizon Europe 2021-2027), created to promote, facilitate, and strengthen innovation within the Union. Knowledge and Innovation Communities of the EIT are partnerships among universities, business hubs (clusters), local authorities, private companies, and research centres, constituting one of the largest networks in the world of specialists and activities aimed at solving societal challenges across all domains.

Development of Possible ICT-NBS Applications and Legislative Initiatives in the Field of Architecture, Urban Planning, and Construction
This sub-chapter is proposed for further development of the study; some general observations:
A. Software Creation: Development of independent software or modular, independent modules integrated into Building Information Modelling (BIM) applications that correlate, measure, index, and rate (assign a rating) based on the qualitative/quantitative level of ecosystem service provision, the level of materials, subassemblies, and component constructions.
B. Database Support: These applications should be supported by databases of ecosystem services correlated with primary and derivative or composite construction materials, as well as subassembly components included in BIM applications and/or integrated modules – standard or customized indicators, or updatable/self-updating information (potentially through artificial intelligence).
