The Collaborative Research and Development Grant Scheme administered by Malta Enterprise supports Maltese businesses which carry out cross-border industrial research or experimental development projects in collaboration with other businesses.

Such cross-border projects should target the development of innovative products, processes and services based on advanced technologies and, in order to be funded, must be endorsed by the EUREKA network or approved through the Eurostars Joint Programme.

Launched in 1985, EUREKA is an intergovernmental network aimed at supporting market-oriented R&D and innovation projects across all technological sectors.

The Eurostars Joint Programme is a European innovation scheme managed by EUREKA aimed at providing funding for market-oriented research and development with the active participation of R&D-performing SMEs. Eurostars is a joint initiative between EUREKA and the EU Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development.

Support under the Collaborative R&D Grant Scheme is provided through refunds which part-finance pre-approved costs.

Such costs may include personal costs like salaries of researchers and technicians, the depreciation costs of new instruments and equipment, the costs of material, supplies and similar products acquired specifically for the research project and costs incurred for the procurement of technical knowledge and acquisition of patented knowledge and technology.
