The Globalstars programme enables the Eureka to launch joint calls for proposals with countries that are not yet part of the network. In addition to the “non-Eureka country” at least two, but usually several Eureka countries participate in a Globalstars call for proposals. Examples from recent years include calls for proposals with Japan, Uruguay, and Taiwan.
The following applies to Globalstars projects: At least two institutions must be represented in a consortium, one from a Eureka country and one from the third country. Cross-border research and development projects must be market-oriented and serve civilian purposes.
Germany participates selectively in calls for proposals under the Globalstars programme. Therefore, please check in each individual case whether funding is available for your participation in a Globalstars project.
Current Globalstars calls
Globalstars Call with Japan / Deadline: 20 January 2027
This call for proposals supports bilateral and multilateral projects with partners from Japan. Consortia must include companies based in at least one of the participating Eureka countries and Japan.
For German organisations, the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) provides funding for projects in the areas of cybersecurity, communication technologies, artificial intelligence, and software engineering.
Detailed information can be found on the international Globalstars call website. You may also use a dedicated matchmaking platform to find project partners.
The Eureka Office is available to answer questions regarding your Globalstars project proposal.
