The DLR can help you to find project partners by contacting other national funding bodies in Eureka’s network (consisting of over 45 member countries).

Advice services and support tools

The DLR offers advice and support from concept to commercialisation for organisations collaborating on international R&D projects.

Funded programmes and schemes

Please see our resource on what programmes are funded in each country for more information.

We recommend that you get in touch with your national contact to talk about funding options even if a programme is listed as not funded. There might still be funding available.

In the absence of any national funding support, it is still possible to participate in a project by self-funding.
