Eureka Secretariat

Eureka has a central Secretariat based in Brussels, Belgium, which manages the centralised programme operations, collects and analyses project and impact data, and promotes Eureka to stakeholders and potential beneficiaries.

The Secretariat also supports the Chair in organising and preparing for the Network meetings and other events.

The day-to-day activities of the Secretariat are managed by its Director General and executed by a team of roughly 40 employees of more than 15 nationalities, specialised in their respective fields.

The Secretariat office premises costs have been covered by the Belgian Science Policy Office (Belspo) since 1987.
