Scope. Projects should develop innovative products, processes or services that contribute to carbon neutrality, energy transition and sustainable economic growth. Proposals should address technological challenges in low-carbon energy and demonstrate the potential for commercialisation, industrial implementation and environmental impact. The programme encourages transnational collaboration and applied research and innovation.
Sectors. Renewable energy generation, including solar, wind and bioenergy. Hydrogen production, storage, fuel cells and Power-to-X technologies. Carbon capture, storage and utilisation (CCUS). Energy storage, smart grids, microgrids and energy management. Green mobility, electric transport and smart cities. Energy-efficient buildings, sustainable construction and heating. Bio-resources, environmental technologies and resource circularity. Digital technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), sensors, robotics and digital twins supporting low-carbon solutions.
Eligible applicants. International consortia comprising at least two independent legal entities from at least two Eureka member countries are generally required. Companies, SMEs, large enterprises, research and technology organisations, and universities may participate, subject to the relevant national funding rules. Projects must have a civilian purpose and target an innovative product, process or service with commercialisation potential. Turkish municipalities may potentially participate in EUROGIA2030 projects as associated partners or pilot-site providers, subject to approval by the EUROGIA Secretariat.
Key requirements. Projects should: demonstrate technological innovation beyond the current state of the art; establish a transnational consortium with complementary expertise; present a credible research and development plan, including milestones and deliverables; demonstrate commercialisation potential and economic benefits for participating partners and countries; explain the expected contribution to decarbonisation and the green transition; ensure that no single organisation or country accounts for more than 70% of the total project budget, under the general EUROGIA eligibility conditions; contact the relevant national funding authorities to verify funding eligibility and application requirements.
Funding & duration. EUROGIA2030 does not provide a single universal funding rate or central grant amount for all participants. Funding is provided through national funding bodies, with rates and eligible costs depending on the country, organisation type and R&D activities. The exact budget, funding conditions and project duration for Call 32 must be confirmed in the official call documentation.
