POLICY ANSWERS Workshop was organised to support anticipated Eureka Network projects call

Eureka Network project grants are coming to Albania! These grants aim to boost the productivity and competitiveness of industries by funding and supporting international collaborative market-driven R&D projects.

Proposals to Eureka Network projects are evaluated by national experts in the country of each partner named on a proposal. Projects to the anticipated call will be evaluated in early 2024.

POLICY ANSWERS, in collaboration with NASRI, organised a joint workshop for both potential applicants and aspiring evaluators.

The workshop targeted innovative start-ups and SMEs who have been inside the ongoing TA action to help them identify and secure EU grant funding for international (multi-country partner) R&D. Also participating were the existing pool of NASRI-appointed national R&D grant application assessors. The two groups came together to learn about the Eureka Network project methodology and shared ideas and experience in developing and presenting a strong R&D proposal.

The workshop was led by Dr Lisa Cowey (POLICY ANSWERS Funding expert).
