The Austrian
Research Promotion Agency (FFG) is organising a webinar on 29 September 2022,
12:00 – 12:45, to inform Austrian applicants about the calls for projects of
the Eureka clusters SMART (Advanced Manufacturing) and Xecs (Electronic
Components and Systems) where the applicants can submit their transnational
R&D projects.
This
webinar will take place shortly after the XECS Call 2 Launch Event, same day of
29 September, and before the upcoming EFECS 2022 and the SMART PO Day, focusing
on the funding conditions for the Eureka Cluster projects in Austria. The
webinar is free of charge, but registration is
required.
TARGET
AND FUNDING
The FFG is
targeting small and medium-sized companies that can apply for cash grants of up
to 60/50% respectively via FFG basic programs, as well as large enterprises
that can receive a funding mix of up to 50% of the project costs. Research
institutions can be involved as third-party providers.
Alternatively,
Eureka cluster projects can also be funded via the FFG’s thematic programs.

ABOUT
SMART AND XECS
Xecs and
SMART are two Eureka Clusters. Eureka clusters are industry communities that
organise calls for projects to implement R&D projects with international
partners. The FFG provides funding for the Austrian participants in
collaborative and market-oriented R&D projects. Note that in the consortia,
project participants decide for themselves on the project content and scope.
