This is the CDTI international calling plan for 2021
The Center for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI) has presented its Annual Calling Plan for 2021, a forecast of aid for initiatives that are developed at the international level, as well as their estimated closing dates.
This is a set of 28 international calls that have been grouped, according to their closing dates, at three times of the year: January, April and September. In addition, calls from the 7 Eureka Clusters, Eurostars, Unilateral, the PRIMA multilateral call and other programs that operate in open call throughout the year are included.
In order to facilitate the participation of Spanish companies, the CDTI has enabled the form “R&D Collaborative proposal” to be able to present a proposal to any of these calls. In addition, throughout the year 2021, the CDTI will organize a battery of informative sessions about the news and updates of these, and other, international programs that you can consult here.
From artica+i we make our years of experience in managing international R&D&i projects available to companies and research centers, offering support in the search for international partners, in the design of proposals and in the monitoring and coordination from the same.
EUREKA INITIATIVE
EUREKA is a European cooperative R&D support program, the objective of which is to promote the execution of technological projects in international collaboration.
In Spain, this aid is aimed at companies with the capacity to carry out an R&D&i project with at least one company and/or research center from another country in the EUREKA network. In addition, Spanish companies may subcontract to technology providers or research centers that support the execution of the planned actions.
Each country assumes the financing of its participating entities. In this way, the CDTI, the managing body of aid in our country, and Bpifrance, its counterpart in France, have recently published the sixth joint Spain-France call for the presentation of technological projects within the Eureka program.
The projects presented must have independent business participants from both countries, be based on innovative technologies and aim to obtain a product, process or service with a clear commercial interest in the international framework.
The submission of applications must be made both on the website of the Eureka Secretariat, as in the CDTI and in BPI France, before June 15, 2021. In the case of Spain, the projects will be financed through the CDTI tools for R&D projects in international collaboration.
