CELTIC-NEXT Projects:
- Are open to any type of company, large industry, small companies, universities and research organisations, even to companies outside the EUREKA countries;
- Are close to market and business needs.
- Can be defined bottom-up, i.e. without the need to follow defined programme objectives. However they must cover ICT related research items.
- Receive public funding, depending on the national funding rules, of up to 50%
- Have a high success rate for labelling (typically 50-60% of submitted proposals will become a running project).
- Have a low management overhead, and can be rather easily adjusted to new project situations.
- Project consortia need to have at least two different partners from two different EUREKA countries (one must be a EUREKA Member Country and one a EUREKA Member Country or a EUREKA Associated Country).
- Are typically between 1 M€ and up to more than 70 M€ in total project budget, and include from 2 to over 50 partners. Typical project duration is between 24 and 36 months.
Ensuring national funding and a smooth process:
- Spain (NEW): The leader of the Spanish sub-consortium must apply to CDTI once the CPP (Celtic-Next Project Proposal) is submitted to the CELTIC-NEXT platform (margin 15 days). More info on this can be found here.
- NEW: Latest Pitch Presentations are online. Please have a look at current proposal pitches and do not miss to contact the presenters if you think a project idea might be of interest for you. Please visit: https://www.celticnext.eu/project-ideas-from-proposers-days-2/
- To speed up the funding decision process, each project participant should contact their national funding agency early in the process, and follow their advice regarding national funding applications in parallel to the proposal submission.
- If you wish, you may submit a short proposal abstract (including a short project outline, intended consortium partners/ countries) until one month before the deadline for a first check to the CELTIC Office (office(at)celticnext.eu).
