New IraSME Call
Picture 38th Call

38th IraSME Call for Proposals OPEN until 30 September 2026

This summer the IraSME Coordination Team would like to encourage you once more to toss your beach towels aside, and prepare your next transnational close-to-market R&D project proposal instead!  

The 38th IraSME call for proposals is open from 1 June 2026 until 30 September 2026.
The following countries/regions are taking part in this call: Austria, Brazil, Czech Republic, Flanders (Belgium), Germany, Luxembourg, Türkiye, and Wallonia (Belgium).

All applicants should make sure they are familiar with their own country's or region's funding rules, as those do differ from one another! You may find an extract of the rules sets and each local IraSME representative with their contact details in the Countries/Regions section of the IraSME website. 

And there is more good news: We were able to extend the ongoing IraSME & CORNET Partnering Event 2026 by another six months! This means more opportunities for you to find potential project partners, to connect with your local funding agencies, and to take advantage of informative webinars or interactive pitch sessions in the future.
