EUREKA framework
41 full members (40 countries + European Commission)
• EUREKA is a pan-European network for market-oriented, industrial R&D
• Following the EUREKA structure, each project partner can apply for national funding in their own country
• Every member country has a EUREKA national project coordinator (NPC)

Why EUREKA
Most public funding available to innovation actors is allocated at national level. Most innovation in Europe comes through cross-border partnerships, while most investment capacity in research is still in the hands of national governments.
EUREKA, being an intergovernmental body, brings together both national public and private sources of financing to transnational research projects. As such, EUREKA is an important building block for the innovative environment that Europe so desperately needs.
For innovators, the opportunity to exploit national funds and work with partners from different countries and sources for a single European research project means easier access to the knowledge of research partners beyond their own borders – and often to the more potential markets.

EUREKA instruments
• Network EUREKA projects: collaborative projects in any kind of technology created in e.g. bi- or multi-lateral calls between EUREKA countries
• Clusters: strategically significant public-private partnerships in a specific thematic area, initiated and managed by industry and creating innovative projects to strengthen European competitiveness
• Eurostars Programme: European funding and support programme set up in cooperation between EUREKA and EU and specifically dedicated to research-performing SMEs, stimulating them to lead international collaborative research and innovation projects
• Umbrellas: thematic networks focussing on a particular technology or business sector. Their goal is to support the development of cooperative R&D project ideas in their specific field of operation

EUREKA Clusters
Clusters represent 70% of the budget of EUREKA project portfolio
Clusters are Public-Private Partnerships in a specific thematic area:
Initiated and managed by industry with high SME participation
Creating innovative projects to strengthen competitiveness of European industry and its partners, based on e.g. matchmaking events
Based on an efficient and flexible process for project creation and monitoring in close cooperation with the national public authorities
Reviewing projects with a focus on optimizing results
Leveraging national priorities for the benefit of industry in the global competitive environment

EUREKA Clusters encourage Smart City initiatives as a common theme
11
ITEA: ! Cluster in software innovationVision 2030 (with ARTEMIS-IA)
Seven identified areas of major change
The need for software innovation to address societal and economic challenges
The economic impact of software innovation in terms of revenues and jobs
12
International customers & end-users workshops
Thematic workshops by invitation that gather a small number of worldwide customers and a set of industrials
The output of these workshops is a shared analysis of actual needs that have not yet been solved by present technologies
First chosen theme was Smart City:- Participating cities: Istanbul, Vancouver, Amsterdam with input
from Bandung, Nairobi and Rennes- Participating companies: Alliander, EnerjiSA, Ericsson, Gemalto,
Indra, Philips, Siemens, Thales, Turkcell and a set of connected SMEs
- Clarified the international customers and user needs - Communicated the results to steer ITEA proposals on Smart City
theme from an end-user’s viewpoint- Any ITEA community members can lead or participate in a
project based on these results

RECONSURVEReconfigurable Surveillance System with Communicating Smart Sensors
The project developed a complete maritime surveillance system with smart sensor data processing, situational awareness, the ability to use several platforms with a variety of sensor types and advanced algorithm-based capabilities for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and thermal cameras.
Start date: Jan 2011End date: Jun 2015

RECONSURVEInnovative and commercially viable
In 2013, the project won the EUREKA Korea Day Award for the most innovative and commercially viable project.
The project validated its operational principles from an end user’s perspective in a large, live demonstration with the participation of the Turkish Coast Guard Command in Antalya on 23 Oct. 2014.
In ITEA 2 Call 8, a new project APPS has been launched as a follow-up. This project will focus on advancing Plug & Play smart surveillance.
