About us
This call for project proposals is setup within the framework of GlobalStars, one of the programmes of EUREKA. This virtual marketplace and matchmaking is made possible by cooperation with Enterprise Europe Network.
EUREKA
Eureka is an international network established in 1985 as an agreement between 18 countries to foster European competitiveness and integration and to encourage R&D cooperation. Since then, we have expanded to include over 45 countries in Europe and beyond who share the same goals and have national funding available to organisations who apply through our programmes.
Globalstars is a Eureka programme with calls for projects (sometimes thematic) with countries outside of our network. Applicants can benefit from collaboration with organisations working in a range of leading and emerging markets.
Eurostars is part of the European Partnership on Innovative SMEs. The partnership is co-funded by the European Union through Horizon Europe.
Could our Eurostars funding programme be the perfect opportunity for your organisation?
Eurostars is the largest international funding programme for SMEs wishing to collaborate on R&D projects that create innovative products, processes or services for commercialisation. Your consortium must spotlight an innovative SME as the main project participant.
Choose project partners from SMEs, universities and research centres from any of the programme’s 37 participating countries. Organisations in non-participating countries can still join a Eurostars consortium.
