Scope

• This project call is for R&D projects with priority given to the following field(s):
  • Agricultural technologies and agri food technologies
  • Clean technologies and low carbon economy technologies, including materials for clean fuels, clean transportation/mobility, climate resilient building/infrastructure, renewable energy, water and wastewater management
  • Digital technologies, including smart cities and smart mobility
  • Environment protection technologies, including transportation infrastructure, renewable power sources, energy storage, eco-friendly energy, eco-friendly vehicles, smart environmental solutions and soil remediation technologies
  • Health and biosciences, including brain health, healthy aging, aging technologies, mental health, biomedicine, biomedical engineering, medical devices, digital health, digital therapeutics, diagnostics and decision support.
  • Quantum computing technologies, including sensing and timing, simulation, communications, imaging, and artificial intelligence
• Your project should:
  • address at least one of the fields mentioned in the call description and
  • demonstrate the potential to research or develop a product, process or service for commercialisation.

Funding

• Eligible Canadian SMEs may receive up to 50% reimbursement of total project costs up to a maximum total funding amount of $500,000 CAD over 12 to 24 months (an extension of 12 months may be considered if sufficiently justified and accepted by both countries).

Eligibility Criteria

• Eureka has limited eligibility criteria for organisations participating in a Network projects consortium:
  • Your project idea must represent international cooperation in the form of a specific project.
  • The project must be directed at researching or developing an innovative product, process or service with the goal of commercialisation.
  • The project must have a civilian purpose.
  • Your consortium must include at least two independent legal entities from a minimum of two Eureka countries.
  • No single organisation or country can be responsible for more than 70% of the project budget.
• This call for projects has additional criteria for organisations to be eligible to receive funding:
  • The Canadian and Israeli partners must express their will to cooperate to the development of a new product, industrial process or service. The product, process or service must be innovative and there must be a technological risk involved.
  • The project should have an obvious advantage and added value resulting from the technological cooperation between the participants from the countries (e.g. increased knowledge base, commercial leads, access to R&D infrastructure etc.)
  • The project should demonstrate the contribution of all participants and the project must be significant to them.
  • The participants are required, prior to obtaining the Eureka label endorsement, to have signed a project consortium agreement.
