Eligibility & scope
PPP subsidy for Dutch SMEs and research organisations for international R&D collaboration on cell and gene therapies (CGT) and Organ-on-Chip (OoC) technologies, requiring industrial research/experimental development (TRL 4-7) and co-funding (in-kind and/or cash) from all partners. Dutch companies must submit a 'No Undertaking in Difficulty' declaration; use of the mandatory consortium agreement template is required.
Who Should Apply
- •Dutch SMEs and research organisations (not healthcare providers or foundations)
- •Partners in international consortia with at least one company and one research organisation from priority countries
- •Projects in cell and gene therapy or organ-on-chip technologies at TRL 4-7
- •Consortia with commitment to co-funding (cash and/or in-kind contributions from all partners)
Key Dates
- •Deadline: 25 September 2026 (central EUREKA submission portal, followed by national documentation submission)
- •Two-stage application: central portal submission, then national submission via RVO/Health Holland
- •Pre-notification encouraged: consortia should notify RVO and Health Holland in advance of submission
Tips for Applicants
- ✓Consortium composition is gating: ensure you have confirmed letters of commitment from at least two international priority-country partners (one company, one research organisation) before submitting; mismatched consortia are rejected at triage.
- ✓International partners must independently secure their own funding; your Dutch subsidy application will not accelerate their approval. Clarify this early with all consortium members.
- ✓Co-funding is mandatory for all partners. Document in-kind contributions (staff time, equipment use) and cash co-funding commitments explicitly in the submission; vague co-funding pledges risk scoring penalties in review.
