CELTIC-NEXT is the Eureka Cluster for next-generation communications to make a more secure, trusted, and sustainable digital society. The programme opens two bottom-up calls for proposals per year – in Spring and Autumn. As with other Eureka programmes, project partners are funded individually through participating EU & associated state national funding bodies. Consortia should include 2+ eligible Eureka participating countries, with at least one industrial partner (SME or larger enterprise) from each country represented in the project. Participants can expect to benefit from connections within an industry-led community, as well as a reassuringly high application success rate of 50-60% typically for this Cluster!
