Eurostars is a EUREKA cluster and the first European funding and support programme to be specifically dedicated to SMEs. Eurostars stimulates SMEs to lead international collaborative research and innovation projects by easing access to support and funding.
Eurostars consortia are lean, consisting of minimum 2 partners from 2 different Eurostars member countries. The main partner should be a research performing SME and at least 50% of the project’s core activity should be carried out by SMEs.
Eurostars projects are eligible for up to 60% of funding from the IWT. Please consult the dedicated IWT page for more details.
Eurostars follows a single-stage process, where a full project proposal is submitted and evaluated centrally.
