EURIPIDES, the EUREKA cluster for smart systems, packaging and systems integration has opened its spring 2012 call for proposals.

EURIPIDES launches two calls per year - in a two step approach - in order to maximize the chances for success, avoiding unnecessary and time consuming efforts to set up projects.

In both stage, the EURIPIDES office will check whether public funding would be available for partners through the public authorities' network.

The 2012 calls are introducing more flexibility in the submission process as participants will be able to submit either a full project proposal (FPP) or a project outline (PO) at each deadline. Applicants will therefore get four opportunities for introducing projects 2012.
