EUROSTARS-3 and INNOWWIDE Workshop – Programmes for SMEs Engaged in International R&D Cooperation
Date: 19th September 2024
Time: 10:00 AM – 2:30 PM
Location: Science and Technology Park of Badajoz, Avda. de la Investigación, s/n, Badajoz
As part of the Enterprise Europe Network, FUNDECYT-PCTEX is organising the workshop “EUROSTARS-3 and INNOWWIDE,” aimed at presenting the currently open calls for these two programmes designed for SMEs engaged in international R&D cooperation.
Programme Highlights:
EUROSTARS-3:
Co-financed by national budgets of the 37 EUROSTARS countries and the European Commission through Horizon Europe, EUROSTARS supports market-oriented R&D projects. Its bottom-up approach enables the execution of research and innovation projects in any sector or thematic area, in collaboration with international partners, with a clear market focus.
Funded by the European Partnership for Innovative SMEs, INNOWWIDE facilitates SME access to international markets by financing Market Feasibility Projects conducted in cooperation with local actors in third countries. These projects aim to create the necessary conditions to integrate innovative European technologies into these markets.
During this workshop, participants will learn all the details of both programmes, the process for preparing and submitting proposals, and a success story from the Extremadura-based company Renacen, which benefited from INNOWWIDE funding.
After the training session, companies with proposals for either instrument can request a one-to-one meeting (15-20 minutes) with the CDTI expert. Requests for bilateral meetings must be submitted along with the registration by 13th September. The organising team will contact the requesting companies to confirm their appointments.
