Welcome to EraSME

The 5th call for trans-national projects of the EraSME partnership will open on December 8, 2008.

EraSME strives to strengthen the market position of SMEs in search of enhanced access to research capacities by establishing a fruitful cooperation with research and technology organisations (RTOs) on an international level. Conversely, RTOs are given the opportunity to benefit from the business expertise of SMEs.

This call will be open to cooperation proposals in all fields of technology. Funding possibilities are given for projects from the following countries/regions: Austria, Czech Republic, Flanders/Belgium, Germany, Iceland, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Tuscany/Italy, Sweden, and possibly Madrid/Spain and Ireland.

Documents and detailed information will be available on this website as of December 8, 2008.
Closing date of the call will be March 31, 2009.

The EraSME project is an EU initiative covering research and innovation programmes from 21 countries/regions and funded by the 7th R&D EU Framework Programme under the ERA-NET scheme. The projects will be funded by the respective national funding programmes.
