> 8Market oriented

EUREKA addresses applied /industrial and not basic research projects

The result of a EUREKA project must be a marketable - product, process or service

Page 9: EUREKA  - Eurostars

www.eureka.be

> 9Nationally financed

Financing for EUREKA projects comes from two main sources:

National public sources (national research and innovation programmes, innovation funds, etc.)

Investment by participants (industry in R&D)

Cluster Individual Projects

Page 11: EUREKA  - Eurostars

www.eureka.be

> 11

EUREKA supports three types of projects

Cluster Projects

> Long-term, strategically-significant initiatives> Large number of participants, many from Europe’s major companies> Develop generic technologies of key importance to European competitiveness

Individual Projects (E!1782; E!1784…)

> Small, shorter-term projects> Involve participants from at least two member countries> Result in a product, process or service with a significant advance in their sector

Eurostars Projects

> Small, short-term projects, involving participants from at least two member countries> Consortium leader is an R&D-performing SME> Programmed jointly with the European Commission

The three pillars of EUREKA

> 14EUREKA Individual project

A EUREKA Individual project is

>international – partners from at least two of EUREKA's 39 members

>small, short-term projects (0.5-5.0 Meuro; 12-36 months)

>proposed, defined and managed by its consortium (project partners)

>mainly industry-led

>financed nationally

>result in a product, process or service representing a significant advance in their sector

Page 15: EUREKA  - Eurostars

www.eureka.be

> 15EUREKA bottom-up approach

The EUREKA project consortium decides

>Project objectives and content>Who they choose to work with>How much it will cost >How long it will take>How it will be managed>How risks and results will be shared>Ownership of results (IPR, etc.)
