N GLANCE

A European Research Programme> Not an EU-Programme (but complementarity within ERA)> Intergovernmental co-operation: 41 members> Market orientation

> Target group: mainly industry → particular attention to SMEs> Bottom-up project generation by partners (no thematic restriction)> Funding: public, private, own (each member country has national

criteria and schemes for co-financing) > Flexible mechanism and lack of bureaucracy

EUREKA Individual projects

> Market-oriented projects, any technological area> Small consortia, mostly led by SME and involving participants

from at least two EUREKA member countries> Short-term (2-4 years); > Result in a product, process or service with a significant advance

in their sector> National evaluation (PAM manual); > National co-funding> Continual possibility to submit projects (approval 4 times per

year)

EUREKA Umbrellas

EUREKA Umbrellas: their role

>Thematic networks of EUREKA focusing a specific technology area or a business sector

>Through national platforms (on national research priorities) they link to European Technology Platforms and other interest R&D groups

>Strategic, increasing added value for European industry/research and the EUREKA Network

EUREKA Clusters

> Long-term, strategically-significant programmes> Large number of participants, many from Europe’s major

companies (e.g. Philips, Siemens, Infineon)> Develop generic technologies of key importance to European

competitiveness> Each EUREKA Cluster has a technological ‘roadmap’ defining the

most important strategic domains> Thematic calls for proposals> Managing by Cluster organisation (secretariat)

Success Story

Internet could be 10 times faster than it isCould the Internet just stop working one day? With bandwidth requirement increasing annually as the web becomes an ever larger part of the everyday life, keeping up is a challenge for Internet service providers. A EUREKA telecommunications cluster CELTIC-Plus project is pushing capacity upwards.

Success Story

Monitoring your car for a safer drivingEach year over 40,000 people are killed on Europe’s roads. The partners of MEDEA+ project CARING CARS aim to drive down these chilling statistics with a system comprising in-car sensors and a wireless infrastructure monitoring the vital signs of drivers and sounding an alert if there is a problem linked for example to the driver’s fatigue.

Success Story

Biotech start-up brings DNA-sequencing to the medical marketWhat started as a three-person start-up may well be on its way to becoming a multi-million euro success story. The SME FlexGen is attracting the attention of some key investors and demonstrating the added value of the Eurostars funding programme.

Success Story

An Innovation Star for EuropeThe Eurostars ISTAR project may well be an R&D effort that changes the game for the pharmaceutical industry. CrossJect, the company leading the project, plans to double its staff in the next five years. With the support of the Eurostars Programme, it is on way to major success as a pharmaceutical start-up, and has already attracted investors from large-scale investment funds.

SMEs and internationalization

> SMEs are Europe’s growth engine• 99% of all companies being either small or medium-sized • 70% of all jobs are in SMEs

> Benefits of internationalisation for SMEs• Internationalised SMEs are more innovative and more

competitive• Internationalised SMEs create more jobs
