Eureka Network Projects
For Singapore companies who are looking to cooperate on joint Research & Development (R&D) projects.
About this programme
The Eureka Network Projects is a flexible funding programme for international R&D projects. This programme eases collaboration between organisations in Eureka countries and offers the freedom to design your project proposal and build your ideal consortium. We have various bilateral/multilateral CIP calls under the Eureka Network Projects (e.g. Singapore–Türkiye, Singapore–Republic of Korea, etc.).
Singapore companies are welcome to participate and collaborate with corporates from participating countries in the respective bilateral calls.
Eureka Applied Quantum Technology Call 2024The Eureka Applied Quantum Technology Call 2024 is now open for applications. It is led by Innofund, which is the funding agency of Denmark.
The Eureka Applied Quantum Technology Call 2024 aims to develop quantum technology that outperforms or accelerates existing technologies and hence contribute to solving specific problems relevant for industry, science and society.
The call covers “Enabling ECS Technologies”, which support quantum technologies mentioned below, notably (non-exhaustive list):
- Low-power electronics, low-noise electronics (including LNAs), HEMTs, fast and precise DACs, RF-electronics, THz-electronics, well-characterised cryo-electronics
- Efficient integration of light sources and (single-photon) detectors, fast, low-loss photonic routers and switches
- Development of ICs, PICs and light sources at mutually compatible wavelengths, including telecommunications (C-band) and 935 nm (practical for solid-state sources)
- Cryo-compatible, low-outgassing packaging and shielding, packaging and bonding, good thermal management solutions.
Participating countries include Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, Lithuania, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye, and the UK.
Singapore companies keen to embark on joint innovation projects with companies from any one or more of the participating countries can receive support by participating in the Eureka Applied Quantum Technology Call 2024.
About Eureka Network
Eureka Network is the world’s biggest public network for international cooperation in R&D and innovation, present in over 45 countries.
Eureka was established in 1985 as an agreement between 18 countries and the European Commission to foster competitiveness and market integration and to encourage R&D cooperation. Since then, it has expanded to include 47 countries (in Europe and beyond) who share the same goals and provide national funding to organisations to support international industry-led R&D and co-innovation.
