Eureka links Europe’s financial resources and expertise in order to simplify access to funds for realising European research and development projects. The Eureka contact points assist with project preparation and implementation besides providing information about suitable funding programs and other forms of financing.

In Germany, the Eureka office is located at DLR Projektträger, the project management agency of the German Aerospace Center (DLR). It works as a national contact point for Eureka on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). Since its foundation in 1985, Eureka has become an established part of the European research landscape.
