SIID — Internationalization of R&D

Supports Portuguese organizations to expand innovation internationally through global partnerships.

SIID — Internationalization of R&D 2026 is a specific notice under the SI ID Empresarial (SIID) framework administered by ANI — Agência Nacional de Inovação in Portugal, funded through the PT2030 structural funds program via COMPETE2030. The notice targets Portuguese companies and research entities conducting industrial R&D operations at European scale, with consortium structures anchored in international programs such as Eureka, Eurostars, or CELTIC-Next. The submission deadline for the current notice is December 29, 2026, making it the sole forward-looking SIID call identified on ANI's active calls calendar at the time of data collection; the budget per call is not published on the ANI summary page.

Eligibility is open to a range of entity types — companies, non-profits, universities, and research organizations registered in Portugal — but the defining eligibility gate is genuine cross-border consortium structure: domestic-only proposals are out of scope. Large companies are typically excluded from Eurostars- and Eureka-routed Portuguese funding; SMEs and small mid-caps are the core beneficiary profile. Submissions do not go directly to ANI but through the Balcão dos Fundos or the COMPETE2030 operational programme, depending on the geographic scope and sub-track of the project.

For Portuguese organizations already participating in Eurostars, Eureka SMART, or CELTIC-Next consortia, this notice provides the national co-financing layer that covers the Portuguese partner's costs within those international projects. Applicants should confirm their international consortium is active and their application has been accepted or is pending within the relevant Eureka call before submitting to this SIID notice, as the two-layer structure (international call plus domestic funding route) requires coordinated timelines.
