Eurostars promotes cooperation across all thematic areas with partners from 33 European countries, as well as from Canada, South Africa and South Korea. This initiative is aimed in particular at SMEs developing products or services that offer a decisive advantage over existing solutions.
Eurostars is a joint initiative of Eureka and the European Union and is part of the European Partnership on Innovative SMEs. The Eureka Secretariat oversees the evaluation of applications and reporting on projects for all participating countries, located centrally out of Brussels. Innosuisse is responsible for issuing contracts, paying out funding and performing financial reporting in Switzerland.
An innovative SME takes the lead for project coordination. The project lead organises information regarding the submission deadline and oversees that the application is completed by all participating partners in Switzerland and abroad by the given deadlines. A consortium only needs to submit one application for all partners from different countries.
