CONTRIBUTING TO ShapE THE European Research Area

EUREKA is a long-established European network, present in 39 countries and having also the European Union as one of its members. It is committed to improving the competitiveness of Europe through the support it offers to organisations – mostly businesses, which perform close-to-market R&D.
 
Initial studies suggest the strong leverage effect of EUREKA projects: one million of public euro invested in a EUREKA project generates on average 2.5 million from private sources.
 
Public authorities are the financial backbone of EUREKA: they provide the funding necessary to make a project idea a reality. They are also the decision-makers who drive national research policy.
 

This is how EUREKA shapes everyday what European Research will be tomorrow: one of the first employment provider, a key sector of investment and a space for collaboration between European countries.
