I partenariati istituzionalizzati sono basati su una visione a lungo termine e sulla necessità di un'elevata integrazione. Si basano sugli Art.185 /187 del TFUE (Trattato sul Funzionamento dell'Unione Europea) e sul regolamento del European Institute fo Innovation and Technology-EIT e sono attuati da strutture dedicate create a tale scopo, chiamati Joint Undertakings e EIT KIC. Le Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) dell'EIT sono partenariati istituzionalizzati creati sotto Horizon 2020 e mirano a far fronte alle carenze di competenze; i partner chiave sono gli istituti di istruzione superiore, le organizzazioni di ricerca, le imprese e altre parti interessate.
