Eurostars
Eurostars programme
Basic Information
Description
European SMEs are an essential source of growth, employment, entrepreneurial skills, innovation and economic and social cohesion. It is therefore essential to unlock their potential through support of their R&D efforts. The Eurostars Programme will specifically enable R&D-performing SMEs to improve performance through its support of "in-house" research. It will also enable companies to develop closer working relationships with the European research community. The objective of the Eurostars Programme is to bring increased value to the economy, higher growth and more job opportunities by supporting the R&D-performing SME. R&D-performing SMEs are contributing to the development of products, processes and services that help improve the daily life of citizens world-wide. Their involvement in international research projects enables participants to combine and share creativity and expertise, and often allows access to previously uncharted markets for the resulting innovation.
