EUREKA Network — Korean Participation

Korea's EUREKA participation gives domestic institutions access to bilateral and multilateral industrial R&D with more than 45 member countries. KIAT has served as Korea's National Contact Point since 2011, and the program has been running since Korea joined in 2009. The scheme is co-funded, with MOTIE covering the Korean side and partner-country funders supporting their own participants. By the time cited here, 87 Korean institutions had taken part in 55 EUREKA projects, with work spanning materials, components, and emerging industry R&D. KIAT handles the Korean point of contact, so applicants work through a domestic ministry channel while partner-country funders carry their own side. The best fit is a consortium that already has an overseas counterpart and wants market-oriented collaboration rather than purely domestic research. Foreign universities and public research institutions can serve as anchor partners. That structure favors teams with a clear international counterpart already aligned on scope, budget, and ownership before they apply.
