EUREKA TOURISM is a European strategic initiative launched within the EUREKA programme and led by Spain, oriented to the sustainable improvement of tourism, leisure and cultural sectors. The objective is the definition of the main lines of technological development and the generation of R&D projects that as a result would set up products, processes or innovative services with technological basis and a commercial interest.

Oriented to public and private entities, EUREKA TOURISM is a real European network for technological innovations in the tourist sector.

EU leaders set to boost Innovation

The European Council - held on 4 February - called for the implementation of a strategic and integrated approach to boosting innovation to the benefit of citizens, companies - in particular SMEs – and researchers. Heads of state and government pledged to foster cooperation on large-scale research projects, to simplify funding regulations and to explore new sources of venture capital for innovative start-up enterprises. Joint programming should also be developed and the Council will take the necessary decisions on future Innovation Partnerships before they are launched.

The Council conclusions reflect EUREKA’s main priority to foster European SME support and enhance coordination of public RTDI measures, as stated in the EUREKA strategic roadmap.

EUREKA's Eurostars Programme is the first European funding and support programme to be specifically dedicated to SMEs. Eurostars aims at helping SMEs lead international collaborative research and innovation projects by easing access to support and funding.
