UK and Israel Call for Innovative R&D Projects

Scope

• This call invites consortia to apply high quality R&D projects within all technology fields.

Funding Details

• Expected project results will have to contribute to the development of commercial products, applications and / or technology-based services. The project proposals have to comply with the following guidelines:
  • The partners should include at least one Israeli and one UK commercial company (though participation of research institutes/universities is welcome as additional participants or subcontractors according to each country’s funding regulations).
  • Companies and/or academia from other countries may also participate. These partners’ participation follows Eureka participation and financing rules and procedures and the funding regulations of these partners’ countries of origin.
  • The project should have an obvious advantage and added value resulting from the cooperation between the participants from the two countries (e.g. increased knowledge base, commercial leads, access to R&D infrastructure, new fields of application, etc.).
    • UK
      • The projects are expected to last no more than 2 years. They expect grants to be typically in the region of £200- £250 K.
    • Israel
      • An Israeli R&D performing company which initiates a single or multi-year program that will provide know-how, processes or methods for the manufacture of a new product, application, technology-based service or process is eligible to apply.
