WHICH PATH FITS YOU — EUREKA NETWORK VS. EUREKA CLUSTERS

Eureka Network Projects
Consortium size:
Smaller, minimum 2 partners from 2 Eureka countries.
Application shape:
Single Eureka application + national funding steps.
When to pick:
Fast bilateral/multilateral R&D with a tight scope or when you already have (or need) one strong partner.

Eureka Clusters
Consortium size:
Typically larger (4–15+), multi-country, community-driven.
Application shape:
Two phases (PO → FPP) + national steps.
When to pick:
Strategic, ecosystem-level projects with broader impact, pilots and standardization potential.

WHO WE WORK WITH

We primarily support companies—SMEs, mid-caps, corporates, and scale-ups—seeking a low-friction entry into funded cross-border R&D. We also welcome all other eligible organizations: universities, RTOs, hospitals and health providers, public agencies, clusters/associations, and NGOs.
Companies (SMEs, Mid-caps, Corporates)
Universities & RTOs
Hospitals & Health Providers
Clusters, Associations & NGOs

Engagement options:

  • Join our ongoing consortia (we place you where fit and impact are strongest).
  • Build a dedicated consortium around your viable project idea (we orchestrate everything across EU/Eureka countries).

EUREKA NETWORK PROJECTS — SMALLER CONSORTIA, FAST START

What they are
Industry-driven, bottom-up R&D projects with flexible themes and minimum 2 partners from 2 different Eureka countries. Funding is provided nationally; we align each partner's eligibility and budget. Ideal when you want to start quickly with a focused scope or build momentum toward a larger future project.
How we help
  • Partner matchmaking
  • Eligibility check per country
  • Complete application authoring
  • Consortium agreement support
Good fits include
Technology providers + adopters (e.g., OEM + supplier; software vendor + pilot customer; energy tech + utility/industrial), aiming for a deployable prototype, pilot, or first commercial validation.
Typical outcomes
Bilateral or small-team demonstrators, validated PoCs, early customer pilots, clear path to scale or to a subsequent Cluster/Horizon-style project.

EUREKA CLUSTERS — INDUSTRY-LED COMMUNITIES WITH BROADER REACH

CELTIC-NEXT
Next-generation communications (5G→6G, ICT)
Focus on communication technologies that enable a secure, trusted, and sustainable digital society: advanced fixed/mobile networks, edge/cloud convergence, network automation with AI/ML, IoT/IIoT, satellite–terrestrial integration, optical backbones, and cybersecurity. Strong emphasis on multi-partner pilots serving mobility, health, manufacturing, and public safety.
EUROGIA
Low-carbon & decarbonisation energy technologies
Collaborative R&D for carbon-neutrality across renewables (solar, wind, geothermal, biomass), hydrogen and e-fuels, energy storage (battery, hydrogen, thermal), CCUS, grid integration/flexibility, industry decarbonisation, smart cities, and efficient buildings. Brings tech providers together with adopters (utilities, OEMs, industrials) to validate low-carbon solutions with measurable impact.
EUROGIA
Software innovation & the digital transition
Software-driven, close-to-market innovation: AI & data, digital twins, cybersecurity & privacy, high-performance and cloud computing, embedded & edge software, human-centric interfaces, automation, and platform engineering. Outcomes: toolchains, reference implementations, and deployable services with clear customer value across health, mobility, energy, manufacturing, and public services.
SMART
Advanced/discrete manufacturing
Industry-led projects in advanced manufacturing: additive/hybrid processes, robotics/cobots, digital factory & IIoT, inline inspection & quality, AI for production, predictive maintenance, circular/sustainable manufacturing, supply-chain resilience, and human–machine collaboration. Targets near-term improvements in cost, throughput, quality, and sustainability in real production environments.
Xecs
Electronic Components & Systems (ECS)
Innovation across the ECS value chain: micro/nano-electronics, semiconductor processes, sensors & actuators, embedded software, systems integration, power electronics, and edge computing. Often links hardware, firmware, and software to deliver high-impact demonstrators for mobility, energy, industrial digitalisation, health, and smart infrastructure.
Funding & process for Clusters:
Clusters typically use a two-phase process: Project Outline (PO) → Full Project Proposal (FPP), followed by labelling and national funding steps. We plan the whole path, coordinate all partners, and keep everyone compliant.

WHAT WE DO

YOU FOCUS ON THE TECH; WE DO THE REST
Cluster/Network fit
We map your idea to either Eureka Network (small/fast) or Eureka Clusters (ecosystem-scale), and then to the right call windows.
Partner matchmaking
Targeted scouting and validation of EU partners (technology providers, adopters, end-users, 'scale owners'); NDAs and role charters included.
Consortium design
Governance model, work-package architecture, IP & exploitation, risk & ethics, measurable KPIs and TRLs.
Proposal authoring
Complete writing pack (Excellence • Impact • Implementation for Clusters; tailored application sets for Network), reviewers' checklists, evidence blocks, and visuals.
Budgets & national rules
Per-partner cost models, co-funding rates, forms and compliance for each participating country; we keep everyone aligned.
Submission & negotiations
Eureka portal admin, Q&A, clarifications, labelling; coordination of national agency steps until decision.
Optional Day-1 PMO
Kick-off pack, DoA/GA support, reporting templates, KPI tracking, and a dissemination plan for a smooth start.

Deliverables we provide:

Fit brief (Network vs. Cluster)
Partner matrix
PO/outline
Budget workbook
Full proposal pack (PO/FPP or Network application)
Compliance checklist
Submission confirmation
Response log and next-steps plan

HOW IT WORKS

SIMPLE, FAST, LOW-COMMITMENT
1
Send your idea or targets
Two or three sentences are enough. We capture objectives, constraints, partners (if any), and timing.
Deliverable: Short fit brief (Eureka Network vs. Clusters options, call windows, recommended role).
2
15-minute fit call
We confirm scope, risks, your preferred role (lead/partner), and whether Network or Clusters is the better path now.
Deliverable: Decision note (go/shape/no-go) with next actions.
3
Outline and budget
Work packages, KPIs, TRLs, and per-country costs are drafted.
Deliverable: For Clusters → PO-ready concept; for Network → application outline and budget workbook.
4
Partner shortlist and introductions
We run 1–2 waves of intros; you select the final team (for Network: often 1–3 partners; for Clusters: broader mix).
Deliverable: Partner matrix (roles, strengths, national rules, co-funding).
5
Full proposal drafting and submission
We iterate with you and partners, finalize, and submit on your behalf.
Deliverable: For Clusters → FPP pack + submission; for Network → complete Eureka application + national forms.
6
Post-submission follow-up
We handle evaluator clarifications, labelling/endorsement and national agency steps.
Deliverable: Response log and next-steps plan.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the minimum consortium size?
For Eureka Network Projects, the minimum is 2 organizations from 2 different Eureka countries. Eureka Clusters projects are usually larger (often 4–15+ partners) to cover value chains and end-user pilots.
We only have one partner (or none). Can you help?
Yes. We can find and qualify matching partners for both Network and Cluster routes and align eligibility and budgets for each country.
Which path is faster?
Eureka Network is typically faster and lighter-weight for focused scopes. Clusters take longer but create stronger ecosystems, larger pilots, and market visibility.
How do funding rules work?
All Eureka instruments are nationally funded. Rules and rates vary by country. We map each participant's eligibility and co-funding and package the proposal to fit both the programme and national requirements.
What's the application structure?
Network → single Eureka application + national steps. Clusters → two-phase (PO → FPP) + labelling + national steps. We prepare everything end-to-end.
Timelines?
Typical flow: 1–2 weeks (fit/scoping), 2–6 weeks (partners), 4–8 weeks (proposal drafting), then submission per call calendar and national timelines.
NDA and IP?
We sign NDAs on request. IP is set in the Consortium Agreement; we help structure IP and exploitation so contributors are protected and value flows are clear.
