Eureka Network Original Source

About This Opportunity

The Network Projects programme is a flexible, year-round open call that provides access to national funding for international collaborative R&D projects through the Eureka network. The programme supports international cooperation in research and development with a simplified application process. Projects must represent international cooperation between at least two independent legal entities from different Eureka participating countries, with the goal of researching or developing a product, process, or service with civilian purposes. The programme operates on a rolling basis from January 1, 2025 to January 1, 2030, allowing organizations to apply at any time throughout the year. Funding is provided through national funding bodies in each participating country, with rates varying by country and organization type. The programme welcomes SMEs, large companies, universities, and research organizations from over 45 participating countries including European nations, Canada, South Korea, Brazil, Chile, Singapore, and South Africa. Each country has its own specific funding mechanisms, eligibility criteria, and application procedures that must be followed in addition to the central Eureka application.
