Funding Opportunities for transnational research projects

Your platform has developed a vision, a strategic research agenda and related roadmaps in your domain. Like other platforms, yours has national representations in different member states gathering national stakeholders including large industry, industrial SMEs, academy, associations and public instances.

These national stakeholders, especially SMEs, are key actors in the implementation of your strategic research agenda at national and regional levels. Often however they are only facing bureaucratic funding opportunities for their projects. To respond to this fact CORNET and EraSME provide low threshold access: they enable SMEs to further increase their competitiveness by trans-national cooperation in R&D projects which is of major relevance, particularly in the current crisis. These transnational projects are funded directly by national or regional programmes easily accessible to SMEs from your platform.
