SCS Pole: The EURIPIDES Autumn 2012 call is open

EURIPIDES, the EUREKA programme dedicated to smart systems, packaging and integrated electronics systems has opened its autumn call for projects.

EURIPIDES, one of the four major EUREKA information technology clusters is dedicated to interconnection, packaging and integration technologies for smart electronics systems. Every year, EURIPIDES launches two calls, with a two-step submission process which considerably helps increase the success rate. Partners can submit a Full Project Proposal or a Project Outline by the following two deadlines:

• Project Outline: 10th September 2012
• Full Project Proposal: 15th November 2012

At each of these steps, EURIPIDES, through its network of European public financiers checks whether funding is available for all partners involved.

 

In France, financing is awarded by the Directorate General for Competitiveness, Industry and Services (DGCIS) in the form of a grant of up to 45 % for SMEs, particularly for projects accredited by a competitiveness cluster.
