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.
Consortia comprising Swiss universities of applied sciences, companies and at least one partner from a EUREKA country can apply to Innosuisse for funding. Firms can also take part in EUREKA projects with self-funding.
EUREKA network projects can be submitted at any time.
