OPEN CALL
The programme will finance R&D projects of international colaboration led by innovative SMEs
Eurostars will finance the development of market-oriented R&D projects led by innovative SMEs located in the 37 countries participating in this programme (most European countries, as well as others such as Canada, South Africa, South Korea or Singapore). These projects, with an open theme and civil purpose, must give rise to the creation of new products, processes or services that can be quickly commercialized in European and global markets. This will require the creation of consortia of at least two entities belonging to two different Eurostars countries. Apart from SMEs, some countries also allow large companies, research organisations and universities to participate in these consortia.
Regarding the articulation of the programme, the evaluation of the proposals is carried out centrally by the EUREKA Secretariat, while the funding takes place in a decentralized way at a national level through the funding agencies of each country.
Eurostars 3 will be largely continuous concerning to its two previous editions, highlighting as a major difference for this new period the fact of including among the beneficiaries innovative SMEs without previous experience in R&D but with ambition and ability to collaborate internationally in the development of new products, processes or services.
The following new features for Eurostars 3 have also been announced:
