Partner search

The Ministry for Universities and Research (MUR) and the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy (MIMIT) can help you to find project partners by contacting other national funding bodies in Eureka’s network (consisting of over 45 member countries). For more information on how to find international project partners, contact the MIUR or consult the Enterprise Europe Network’s (EEN) online database.

Advice services and support tools

MUR and MIMIT offer advice and support from concept to commercialisation for organisations collaborating on international R&D projects. A network of national and international partners provides you with access to customised support and helps to integrate your organisation into the relevant industry.

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.
