The next #EurekaEurostars call closes on 12th September 2024. For those unfamiliar with Eurostars, the scheme is similar to the #InnovateUK #SmartGrants programme in that it supports SME market-oriented #ResearchAndDevelopment. However, unlike Smart, the Eurostars scheme has a very strong average success rate per call. Also, with a focus on more mature research TRLs (5-7), Eurostars offers an excellent opportunity as a follow-on grant, perhaps after an Innovate UK grant has been completed. This might be especially useful if you already have connections in one of the listed Eurostar member states. UK SMEs can claim up to €360,000 funding, at 60% grant support. Eurostars is open to all technology areas and market fields. Although smaller in terms of project size (the average Eurostars project is between €800,000 and €1,500,000, the scheme also offers an excellent alternative to the more competitive EIC Accelerator. PNO UK have excellent knowledge of, and a strong track record with, Eurostars, as well as a network of international offices and clients to help develop project consortium and provide guidance in the national submission processes.
