I like to keep all of the shape-building tools, including Align and Transform, pinned to the side of my window in case I need them!) (If you love using it, consider adding it to your workspace. Go to Window > Pathfinder in either program to open the window if it isn’t kept in your default workspace by default. If you’ve never used pathfinder, don’t be intimidated! It’s easy to use and pretty forgiving if you mess up (because you can just press “undo” and try again). However, Illustrator and InDesign’s pathfinder tool makes it possible to create new, custom shapes by combining simple ones-which makes it possible to draw absolutely anything. If you’re used to the endless depth of shape libraries in Microsoft Office or Google Docs, it might seem initially limiting. In Adobe Illustrator and InDesign, there are only a few basic shape tools: circles, rectangles, and regular polygons.

The total indicative budget for this call is EUR 179.5 million. Open FundingĮIC Pathfinder Open provides funding for projects in any field of science or technology, based on high-risk/high-gain science-towards-technology breakthrough interdisciplinary research. The EIC Pathfinder programme consists of a combination of both open and challenge driven funding. Pathfinder projects can also receive additional funding for testing the innovation potential of their research outputs. various activities at low Technology Readiness Levels 1-3), up to proof of concept. Grants of up to 3 to 4 million euro support early stage development of future technologies (e.g. Projects typically involve consortia of researchers and other partners from at least three different countries, but there are also opportunities for individual teams and small consortia (two partners). Visionary thinking can open up promising avenues towards powerful new technologies.Īpplicants participating in EIC Pathfinder projects are typically visionary scientists and entrepreneurial researchers from universities, research organisations, start-ups, high-tech SMEs or industrial stakeholders interested in technological research and innovation. Pathfinder goes beyond what is already known. It welcomes the high-risk / high gain and interdisciplinary cutting-edge science collaborations that underpin technological breakthroughs. With its Pathfinder programme the EIC supports the exploration of bold ideas for radically new technologies. What can you expect as part of EIC Pathfinder?
