Eureka Globalstars Japan

Eureka has eligibility criteria for organisations participating in a Globalstars consortium:

• Your project idea must represent international cooperation in the form of a specific project.

• You must direct your project towards researching or developing an innovative product, process or service with the goal of commercialising your project results.

• Your project must have a civilian purpose.

• Your consortium must include at least two independent legal entities, from Japan and a minimum of one other Eureka country listed in this call.

• No single organisation or country can be responsible for more than 70% of the project budget.

• The duration of a project must be between 12 to 36 months.

Prior to the start of the project, participants are required to have signed a project consortium agreement on the execution of the project and commercialisation of the project’s results. This must be sent to the relevant national funding agencies after the results of the evaluation have been communicated and before project activities are conducted.

Contact your ministry or funding agency through Eureka’s website to discuss your project idea, finances, eligibility and procedures.

1. Create an account on our application portal (one per consortium) and select the funding opportunity you want to apply to.

2. To apply, use the portal and complete one application form per consortium in English. Additionally, request that other partners fill out a partner form.

3. Submit a GANTT chart, a signed co-signature form (available for download on the platform), and any other required attachments.

4. We will check your application for completeness and eligibility before reviewing it using a standard evaluation procedure. If successful, your project will receive a Eureka label.

5. Your country or region’s ministry or funding agency may conduct another evaluation performed by experts and based on national regulations.

6. The final step is to complete and sign a consortium agreement. We recommend that you seek legal advice when drafting your consortium agreement.

Important: Your national or regional funding body may need you to complete additional steps to apply to this Globalstars call. If you do not provide the information required by your national or regional funding body, you may render yourself ineligible to receive public funding.
