#175 EUREKA - An Introduction

Episode siteFor a long time I have wanted to present the funding schemes from EUREKA, because they have very popular funding schemes for SMEs. I managed to get Camilla Del Latte from the EUREKA Secretariat onboard - and even for an in-person recording in Brussels back in April 2025.Unlike many EU programmes, EUREKA is built on intergovernmental collaboration, allowing countries to co-fund innovation projects outside of traditional EU structures. Camilla takes us all through three EUREKA key funding schemes: Eurostars, Innowwide and Fast track to EIC Accelerator. We run schematically through the structure of the programmes, target grous, how to apply, evaluation regime, what happens when funding is received and finally of course some do's and don't's.Excellent for everybody approaching the EUREKA funding schemes!Time codes:00:01:49 Introduction00:04:39 Fly in on EUREKA00:10:24 EU and EUREKA00:16:55 Structure of programme00:38:57 Target groups00:40:08 How to apply00:54:46 Evaluation01:09:09 When receiving funding01:12:01 Do's and don't's01:16:29 The toughest challenge
