Why should I apply for Eurostars funding?

The Eurostars Programme is an SME driven programme which offers simpler access to any participants and a dedicated local support which is one key added-value of the Programme. With offices established in all Eurostars participating countries and having had a leading role in supporting R&D projects for over 25 years, EUREKA NPCs are the direct link between SMEs, the Eurostars Programme and national funding.
With two cut-offs par year, Eurostars provides short time to funding decision. Within 19 weeks from the cut-off date you will receive the result weather you have been earmarked for Eurostars funding or not.
