The Eurostars-2 programme is aimed at supporting research and
development performing small and medium-sized enterprises. It is
jointly undertaken by 34 Eurostars-2 participating states and partner
countries and the European Union on the basis of Article 185 on the
Functioning of the European Union. Eurostars aims to stimulate SMEs
to lead international collaborative research and innovation projects
by easing access to support and funding. It is fine-tuned to focus on
the needs of SMEs, and specifically targets the development of new
products, processes and services and the access to international
markets. Through this joint Programme, Eurostars aims to combine the
best of two worlds with a bottom-up approach, a central submission and
evaluation process, and synchronised national funding in 34 countries.
