EUREKA
Under the EUREKA programme, research projects with clear market relevance are thrashed out and conducted bottom-up. For SMEs, which presently account for half the partners, this initiative is especially important. Thanks to EUREKA, they can carry out projects efficiently and reap the benefits of international cooperation (networking, cost savings and visibility). They also gain easy access to the European market.
Eureka is an international initiative aimed at fostering cross-border cooperation in market-oriented research and development projects
