Vinnova finances Swedish project participants in Eureka calls for proposals
Swedish participants in Eureka network projects that are not supported by an open call for proposals are directed to self-finance their participation in the project. Get in touch with Vinnova's contact persons below, and we will tell you more.
You will find open calls for proposals under the heading Open application opportunities on this page. If there are no open calls for proposals no heading is displayed.
What can I apply for?
You can apply for funding for a research and development project with a project duration of up to 36 months. The project must produce a unique product, process or service that can be commercialised.
Who can apply?
Participation in the network projects is open to companies, research institutes, universities or other relevant actors. At least one Swedish company must be included in the project.
How much can I apply for?
- Small and medium-sized companies (as defined by the EU) can apply funding of up to 50 percent of their costs.
- Large companies can apply funding up to 30 percent of their costs.
- Universities and university colleges can apply for funding up to 100 percent of their costs.
The highest amount the Swedish project participants can jointly apply for is shown in the current call for proposals on Vinnova's website.
European project partners are funded by their respective national contact authorities within the Eureka network.
