> 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
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
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
www.eureka.be
> 12EUREKA Cluster projects
Long-term, strategically-significant initiativesRoad maps, White book,…The model for JTIs
Large number of participants, many from Europe’s major companies (e.g. Philips, Alcatel, Siemens, Infineon, etc...)

> 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
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.)
www.eureka.be
> 16Who decides on Individual projects?
Group of the High Level Representatives EUREKA High Level Representatives act on behalf of government (ministers)Meet four times a year to review project applications, decide the strategy, money,… Award the internationally-recognised EUREKA labelNational funding decision
www.eureka.be
> 17EUREKA Individual projects building cross-border partnerships
> Some 26 billion Euro of public and private money invested since 1985
> Over 3 100 individual projects generating ground-breaking products, processes and services
> 15 000 project partners, of which 45% are SMEs
