EUREKA Eurostars Programme

Theme Eurostars aims to stimulate SMEs to lead international collaborative research and innovation projects by easing access to support and funding. It is fine-tuned to focus on the needs of SMEs, and specifically targets the development of new products, processes and services and the access to transnational and international markets. Through this joint Programme, based on Article 185 of the Lisbon Treaty, Eurostars aims to combine the best of two worlds with a bottom-up approach, a central submission and evaluation process, and synchronized national funding in 33 countries. The Eurostars Programme is open to project proposals of different technologies.
Opening EUREKA's Eurostars Programme is open for funding applications on a continuous basis, with an average of two application submission deadlines each year.
Closing The 10th Eurostars submission deadline has been passed. No further deadlines will occur in 2013.
