As part of the Eureka Network Projects — one of Eureka’s key support mechanisms — the 'Disaster Resilience' call was launched on 10 June 2025, with the participation of eight countries, including Türkiye (Austria, Belgium-Flanders, Brazil, Spain, Lithuania, Chile, and Ukraine). In line with Eureka’s objectives, the call will support projects aimed at developing market-oriented products, processes, and services with high commercialization potential.
Purpose of the Call
The aim of this call is to support international, collaborative research, development, and technology projects that contribute to society’s preparedness for, effective response to, and recovery from both human-induced (e.g. destruction caused by conflict and war, urban fires, industrial accidents) and natural disasters (e.g. avalanches, floods, droughts, earthquakes, storms, wildfires, volcanic activity).
Call Spesific Requirements
Projects must target at least one type of disaster and include at least one clear and concrete application related to that disaster.
Each project must aim to develop a product, process, or service with commercialization potential. The implementation of project outcomes (e.g., market launch) should take place no later than 24 months after project completion.
Projects may involve the development of entirely new technological innovations or the adaptation, redesign, or repurposing of existing technologies for different applications.
While the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) may vary at the project’s start, no project is expected to begin below TRL 4.
Companies with legal entity status (capital companies), higher education institutions, public research centers and institutes, training and research hospitals, and research infrastructures defined under Law No. 6550 in Türkiye are eligible to apply for the call. Applications from these institutions will only be accepted if submitted in partnership with at least one capital company.
