The call on “Disaster Resilience Response and Recovery”, launched under Eureka Network Projects, one of Eureka’s key support mechanisms, opened as of 8 June 2026. In line with Eureka’s objectives, projects aimed at developing market-oriented products, processes and services with high commercialisation potential will be supported under this call.
Objective of the Call:
Collaborative international research, development and technology projects aim to contribute to society’s preparedness for human-induced disasters, such as destruction caused by conflicts and wars, urban fires and industrial accidents, as well as natural disasters, such as avalanches, floods, droughts, earthquakes, storms, forest fires and volcanic activity. These projects also aim to support effective disaster response and post-disaster recovery processes.
Important Considerations:
Projects must target at least one type of disaster and must include at least one clear and concrete application addressing that disaster.
Each project must aim to develop a product, process or service intended for commercialisation. The implementation of project outputs, for example market launch, must take place no later than 24 months after the completion of the project.
Although the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) may vary at the beginning of the project, no project is expected to start below TRL 5.
Companies with capital company status, higher education institutions, public research centres and institutes, training and research hospitals, and research infrastructures within the scope of Law No. 6550 may apply from Türkiye to the call coded 1719–Eureka Disaster Resilience, Response and Recovery. Applications from the relevant institutions will be accepted only in partnership with at least one capital company. In projects submitted under the call, the capital company must be the Project Coordinator / Main Applicant Organisation.
