EUREKA supports three types of projects
Cluster Projects
> Long-term, strategically-significant initiatives> Large number of participants, many from Europe’s major companies> Develop generic technologies of key importance to European competitiveness
Individual Projects (E!1782; E!1784…)
> Small, shorter-term projects> Involve participants from at least two member countries> Result in a product, process or service with a significant advance in their sector
Eurostars Projects
> Small, short-term projects, involving participants from at least two member countries> Consortium leader is an R&D-performing SME> Programmed jointly with the European Commission
