Additional Eligibility Criteria:

Minimum requirement concerning the project consortium is the participation of at least one company of each of the participating countries.

The project proposals have to comply with the following guidelines:

- The partners should include at least one Israeli and one German commercial company (though participation of research institutes/universities is welcome as additional participants or subcontractors according to each country’s funding regulations).
- Companies and/or academia from other countries may also participate. These partners’ participation follows EUREKA participation and financing rules and procedures and the funding regulations of these partners’ countries of origin.
- The project should have an obvious advantage and added value resulting from the cooperation between the participants from the two countries (e.g. increased knowledge base, commercial leads, access to R&D infrastructure, new fields of application, etc.).
- The project should demonstrate the contribution of the participants from both countries.

Any partner whose cooperative R&D project is consistent with the aforesaid criteria can apply to the present announcement in accordance with the national laws, rules, regulations and procedures in effect.

Germany: All German SMEs with up to 499 employees (or consortia of such enterprises) which perform R&D to develop an innovative product, process or technological service – also in cooperation with a research institution/university – have the right to apply. German research institutes/universities are accepted as additional partners according to the rules available on the ZIM website. There are no restrictions to specific technologies or branches. More detailed criteria can be found on the ZIM website (www.zim.de/ZIM/Navigation/DE/Foerderangebote/Kooperationsprojekte/kooperationsprojekte.html - in German). The application has to be in line with the ZIM regulation, e.g. it has to be in the German language.

Israel: An Israeli R&D performing company which initiates a single or multi-year program that will provide know-how, processes or methods for the manufacture of a new product, application, technology-based service or process is eligible to apply. The product must have a sizeable potential for export sales. Research institutes or other participants may apply as a subcontractor to a company.
