Call for Applications: Eureka Quantum 2025
Eureka calls for applications for the Eureka Quantum 2025. The main objective of this call for projects is to support organisations as they develop quantum technologies that outperform or accelerate existing technologies and contribute to solving problems relevant to industry, science, and society.
This call for research and development (R&D) projects may include topics such as, but not limited to:
- Quantum computing
- Quantum simulation and stack levels
- Quantum communications and cyber security
- Quantum sensing and metrology

Recommended project size
Projects on quantum technologies may have low technology readiness levels and include both research partners and large industrial partners and SMEs to achieve both a high scientific level and market perspective. Therefore, you are encouraged to include research partners as well as industrial partners in your consortium and to develop a project along the value chain, possibly also including end-users.
The budget will support the participation SMEs, research and development institutions, and universities excluding any subcontracting. Funding that is provided will be up to 50% of the total project cost.
Funding is offered to complement Eureka’s funding programmes, such as its mobility support for South African participants to attend events and finalise joint proposals with partners, information sessions for applicants and global conferences, workshops, and networking events. The applicant will need to have a consultation with DSTI where they must present their full project proposal prior to submitting it to the Eureka office. For the consultation with the Department of Science, Technology and Innovation (DSTI) the following must be indicated in the proposal:
- project activities, clearly stating the research, development, and innovation output
- an explanation of each consortium partner’s role and budget input (and the cost of each item)
- proposal alignment to national science, technology, and innovation priorities
The project outline must be submitted to the DSTI before submitting to Eureka to the following contacts here and here
