R&D funding programmes

Innovation, through research and development, unlocks opportunities to access new markets, develop new products, and stay competitive. But for many organisations, the costs, risk, and complexity are a major barrier.

R&D funding programmes help you overcome these challenges. Grants or loans reduce the cost of researching a new product or solution. That takes away a large part of the risk of innovating. And the right funding programme can help reduce the complexity of getting started, with clear rules and procedures.

Eureka Network offers funding and support through several R&D funding programmes. Each programme has specific objectives, but most of them work as decentralised funding for groups of SMEs, startups, or organisations across different countries. That means that your funding will usually come from National Funding Bodies, and you will do your R&D project in cooperation with other partners.

Because of this unique structure, you get the support of working with partners, access to national funding, and a simplified process to apply.

Eureka R&D funding programmes work through ‘calls’. Some calls are open to projects in any area, and some are for specific technology areas. The calls also involve different countries. You can find all of our open and upcoming calls on this site, and you can filter by country to see what is available where you are.
