In Eurostars-3 calls, bottom-up, international R&D projects with a civilian purpose, are funded led by innovative SMEs, regardless of any technology field or sector. Within this call, joint international R&D projects aimed at developing market-oriented innovative products, processes and services will be funded with the participation of at least one Turkish and one foreign organization from any Eurostars member country. It is aimed to support innovative SMEs to increase their R&D, innovation capacity and productivity, and to help them reach into global value chains and new markets. In line with this goal, the results of the 1709 Eureka-Eurostars 2024-2 Call, which supports consortium stakeholders from Türkiye have been announced.
There was an increase in the number of applications in the 1709 2024-2 call compared to previous calls. 112 institutions and organizations from Türkiye applied with 66 projects. The international evaluation process of the projects has been completed. In this call, there was an increase in the number of projects shortlisted in the international 2nd stage evaluation as well. It was decided to support 4 of the 8 shortlisted projects. The other 4 projects could not be supported as a result of the consortium partners operating in countries other than Türkiye not being able to receive funds from the relevant country's funding agencies due to lack of funds.
You can access the lists of the projects that were decided to be supported and the other projects that were shortlisted in the international 2nd stage evaluation, from the links below.
We congratulate our organizations whose projects were included in the scope of support, and we would like to remind our organizations whose projects were rejected that they can revise their applications and apply for call 1709 2025-1.
In order to determine the budget scope of the projects that have been approved and to carry out the support and monitoring processes, second stage national applications must be made. Within the scope of the Eurostars-3 Program, our institution's national support process will be carried out within the framework of the national call rules with the code "1709-EUREKA-EUROSTARS 2024/2" and titled "Eurostars-3 Program National Call Announcement".
