Ninth Eurostars call for internationally collaborating SMEs opens in July
The Eurostars grant programme will launch its ninth call for project proposals in July 2025. Innovative SMEs working with international partners from one of the Eurostars countries can start preparing for this funding round, with the deadline expected in early September 2025. Exact dates have yet to be announced. As with previous calls, this round focuses on market-oriented technological development.
Eurostars for market-driven R&D-projects
Eurostars is a joint initiative of EUREKA and the European Commission, aimed at R&D-intensive SMEs seeking international cooperation for technological development and market-oriented innovation. The programme supports projects that lead to innovative products, processes, or services with a clear market advantage. Funding can amount to a maximum of € 500,000 per project.
Requirements for Eurostars projects
To be eligible for Eurostars, both the project and the collaboration must meet several requirements. For example, the project must be led by an SME from a Eurostars country, and the consortium must consist of at least two independent entities from at least two different Eurostars countries. Additionally, the project must exclusively focus on civil applications and have a maximum duration of 36 months.
