EUREKA Network Projects

APPEL À PROJET CLÔTURÉ

Call description

EUREKA Network Projects are transnational, market-driven innovative research and development projects, labelled by EUREKA and supported by the public administrations and public funding agencies that represent EUREKA in each of its 40+ member countries.

The EUREKA "bottom-up" approach to project creation continues to be a characteristic which differentiates EUREKA from other such initiatives. This approach allows the project consortia to define the nature of the technologies to be developed and how the project comes together, agree upon the intellectual property rights and build partnerships, to share expertise and ease access to international markets with the results of their research.

EUREKA individual projects are market-driven international R&D projects. They aim to develop marketable products, services or processes. Participation in international cooperation projects through EUREKA offers businesses, research institutes and higher education institutions a range of advantages.

EUREKA’s flexible and decentralised approach allows for a short and concise application procedure with minimum reporting.
