What Eurostars is

Eurostars is a funding instrument that supports innovative SMEs and project partners (large companies, universities, research organisations and other types of organisations) by funding international collaborative R&D and innovation projects. By participating, organisations can access public funding for international collaborative R&D projects in all fields.

To have a successful Eurostars application you must:

• Define your project idea.
• Collaborate internationally, sharing expertise.
• Develop products, processes or services that can be easily commercialised.

You can submit your R&D and innovation project application between 16 January 2026 and 19 March 2026 at 14:00 CET using our project platform (myeurekaproject.org). Your project consortium must have an innovative SME in the leading role, but it can also include other types of organisations like large companies, universities, research organisations and more.

Available funding

Please note that the European Commission co-funding is pending signature.

The amount of funding your organisation receives when you participate in a project is managed by your National Funding Body. Funding rules vary from country to country and your National Funding Body decides:

• which organisations can receive funding,
• which project activities can be funded
• and funding rates.

If you are from a Eurostars country, you can discover what funding is available for your organisation in our ‘Country information’ section below, and by contacting your national or regional funding body using our contact form. Your National Funding Body may have maximum funding amount per project or project partner.

Organisations from non-Eurostars countries can participate by self-funding their project costs.
