How to apply for funding
- Contact your national funding body to discuss your project idea, financial viability, eligibility and national procedures.
- Create an account on our SmartSimple application portal (one per consortium) and select the funding opportunity you want to apply to. (Applicant guidelines can also be found in SmartSimple after login. You may also check (recent recording of a training session | last years video tutorial for SmartSimple.)
- Using the portal, complete one application form per consortium (in English) and invite other consortium partners to fill in a partner form.
- Upload a GANTT chart (one per consortium), the signed and completed co-signature forms (which can be downloaded from the platform) and any additional required annexes.
- Your project application must be completed online by 25 September 2024 17:00 CEST.
- Your application will be checked for completeness and eligibility before being reviewed using a standard evaluation procedure. If successful, your project will receive a Eureka label.
- If required by your national funding body, you must submit a related national funding application – taking into account all relevant national procedures and submission rules. Submission deadlines might differ between the participating national funding bodies.
- Your national funding body may carry out a further evaluation (performed by the National Project Coordinator and technical experts) according to national rules before allocating funds to successful applicants.
- The final step is to complete and sign a consortium agreement (CA). We recommend that you seek legal advice when drafting your CA.
