Eurostars
Eurostars is a European program targeted at small and medium-sized R&D companies. Eurostars has a yearly budget of app. EUR 55M for co-financing the development of new products and technologies. Eurostars is run by EUREKA - a publicly-funded, intergovernmental network, involving over 40 countries. The purpose of Eurostars is to strengthen European competitiveness, create new jobs, and strengthen the competitiveness of high-tech SMEs.
Eurostars provides co-financing for R&D activities. Even though the Eurostars program aims at supporting SMEs, other entities (such as large company, universities and research institutes) are able to participate. However, for each country national rules apply, and some countries only provide funding for SMEs.
Upon successful application, partners will receive:
A consortium total of EUR 0.5-1.5M for technology and product development
SME funding rates of typically 50-60%
