What are the funding conditions of Eurostars?

The Eureka Eurostars Programme is an excellent funding instrument that can facilitate rapid growth of your company, by bringing innovative products to life – and quickly to market. Read on to find out about the funding conditions of the new Eureka Eurostars programme.

Most Eureka countries fund 50% of each applicant’s project costs up to €0.5 million subsidy. This means a typical project with three SME partners could receive €1.5 million subsidy. Some countries fund a greater or a smaller portion of projects and the maximum funding amount may change too. In some countries, academic collaborators may be eligible for 100% funding. It is essential to be aware of your, and your consortium partners’, funding conditions in respective countries.

Project-grant fit

To determine whether your project fits the funding conditions of Eurostars, consider the following questions:

• Is the funding offer what you are looking for?
• Is the budget sufficient to fund your project?
• Are you able to co-finance the amount of money required for this project, and are you allowed to co-finance this in-kind?
• What are the eligible costs for the grant?
• Can you pay salaries, get equipment and consumables from the grant?
• Are your overheads eligible for this specific funding opportunity?

Knowing the answer to these questions helps you to select the right grant. But it can still be a very complex process, influenced by many factors – both internal and external to your research.
