Innovation Programmes
Globalstars
Access new markets with global research and development
Globalstars is a programme for organisations to connect with partners outside the Eureka network. The programme supports projects between companies in Eureka countries or regions and in leading and emerging markets around the world.
How Globalstars supports you
Globalstars provides access to funding for research and development projects in a range of areas. As well as funding, Globalstars gives you a unique opportunity to work with organisations in countries and regions like Japan, Uruguay, India, and Taiwan.
How Globalstars works
Globalstars provides funding to international research and development (R&D) projects. Projects must include at least one organisation from a Eureka country or region participating in the call, and the project consortium must also include at least one other independent organisation from the Globalstars country. Partners in the consortium can include other SMEs, large companies, universities, research institutions, and non-profits.
Funding for Globalstars comes from National Funding Bodies in each country or region that is participating in a call. National Funding Bodies decide which organisations can receive funding, which activities can be funded, and how much funding is available.
How to apply
If a Globalstars call for projects is open, it will be listed below and on our open calls page. If no call is open, you can check back here later or subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed.
Who can apply
Your project must meet several criteria to be eligible for funding under Globalstars.
Eligibility criteria
- Your project consortium must be made up of at least two entities that are independent from each other.
- Your project must be intended to research or develop a product, process, or service.
- Your project must be exclusively focused on civilian, non-military applications.

You can participate in a research and development project even if you are not eligible to receive funding.
Detailed guidelines on making an application, and the evaluation process, are available in the resource library.
National Funding Bodies often have additional rules about which organisations can receive funding. You can find these rules in each call for projects.
