Republic of Korea-Kingdom of the Netherlands:Promotional Call for Eurostars Projects
Deadline for Submission: 14 September 2017
Scope of the promotional call
Eurostars is an international co-operation programme of 36 countries that supports research and development performing SMEs, which develop innovative products, processes and services, to gain competitive advantage. The programme is bottom up, meaning that all technology fields are welcome and that all projects submitted will be evaluated against each other.
The Republic of Korea and the Kingdom of the Netherlands are two active countries in Eurostars and want to increase the number of Korean-Dutch project proposals. Therefore, Korea and The Netherlands are announcing a Promotional Call for Project Ideas within the Eurostars programme. The call focuses on developing innovative products and applications with a strong market potential. Although Eurostars is open for projects within all technology areas, a special focus is given in this call to the following domain:
● High Tech Systems and Materials (Robotics, IoT appliances, advanced materials, smart chips and semiconductors, etc.)
Call Launch and Structure
The Call will be launched on the 22nd of May 2017 by KIAT and RVO and invites partners to present a full proposal in the 8th Eurostars call on September, 14th.

● The main partner (the co-ordinator of the project) must be a research and development performing SME.
