Eureka: Israel and Germany calls for joint R&D projects for products

“Germany and Israel are announcing a call for proposals for joint R&D projects, focusing on developing innovative products and applications in all technological and application areas.

Eureka is the world’s biggest public network for international cooperation in R&D and innovation, present in over 45 countries. It is a decentralised intergovernmental organisation aiming to boost the productivity and competitiveness of industries by funding and supporting international collaborative market-driven R&D projects.

This call for projects has been launched following Eureka’s Network projects framework based on mutual consent between participating national funding bodies.

Israel Innovation Authority and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) will provide access to public funding for joint projects provided by The Innovation Authority and by BMWK’s ZIM program (Central Innovation Program for SMEs), respectively, according to the website of Eureka.

Scope

In all technological and application areas, you must develop ready-to-market solutions for products, technology-based services or methods, which have strong market potential for Germany, Israel and Europe. Deadline: 20 February 2023. Project starts: July 2023 and Project duration: up to 36 months.

Project results must contribute to the development of commercial products, applications and/or technology-based services.

Your project must comply with the following guidelines:

• The partners should include at least one Israeli and one German commercial company (though participation of research institutes/universities is welcome as additional participants or subcontractors, according to each country’s funding regulations).
• Companies and/or academia from other countries may also participate. These partners’ participation follows Eureka participation and financing rules and procedures and the funding regulations of these partners’ countries of origin.
• The project should have an obvious advantage and added value resulting from the cooperation between the participants from the two countries (e.g. increased knowledge base, commercial leads, access to R&D infrastructure, new fields of application, etc.).
• The project should demonstrate the contribution of the participants from both countries.”
