“Eurostars Call 11” is a scheme listed by the European Union, designed to develop new innovative products, processes and services and to help SMEs access international markets.

The European Union lists the “Eurostars Call 11” call for projects for European collaborative R&D projects led by innovative SMEs through Eurostars. Its aims are to develop new innovative products, processes and services and to help SMEs access international markets. Applications could be submitted between 9 July and 10 September 2026. The €3,000,000 cap listed in the catalogue must be checked: it may refer to a project funding cap or a call parameter, not an automatic grant to a French company. National funding depends on the partner, the country and the applicable rules. To decide whether this aid can really contribute to your project, compare the planned costs with the rules in force and confirm the company’s eligibility before any commitment.

Who can apply
Eurostars supports international R&D projects led by an innovative SME, with partners established in several participating countries. Eligibility and funding rates are applied at national level; a French company must check the rules of the relevant national body and the criteria of the specific call.
Eligibility conditions
The project must aim to develop an innovative product, process or service and involve genuine international cooperation. Check the innovative SME criteria, consortium composition, division of tasks, target market and eligible costs. Call 11 should not be treated as open without confirmation of its official timetable.
What the scheme covers
For this project, document the following operations precisely: developing new innovative products, processes or services as part of an international R&D project led by innovative SMEs. For each item, attach a separate quote or cost breakdown, the necessary technical specifications and an explanation of the link with the aid’s objective. Costs already incurred, recurring subscriptions or items not explicitly provided for must be validated before being included.
Amount and funding terms
The €3,000,000 cap listed in the catalogue must be checked: it may refer to a project funding cap or a call parameter, not an automatic grant to a French company. National funding depends on the partner, the country and the applicable rules. A reference cap is neither a flat-rate amount nor a promise of award. The amount depends on the costs accepted, the funding rate and the funder’s decision. Check the calculation and payment conditions before including any income in the budget.
How to apply
Consult the Eurostars/Eureka page and the information from the French national body. Prepare the consortium, work plan, budget per partner, expected results and commercialisation strategy. Check the deadlines of the call currently open and the required national steps before finalising the application.
