The Bill (Reg. No.0056) envisages ratification of the application for membership in the program which is a decentralized network uniting 37 members (European States and the European Union) with the aim of promotion of projects on cooperation in the fields of scientific research and innovations.   

Participation of Ukraine in the "EUREKA" Program will facilitate implementation of trans-border projects with attraction of Ukrainian companies, scientific and research institutions and universities specialized in the domain of modern technologies.  

Moreover, membership in the Program will render a possibility for Ukraine to participate in the development of European scientific and research dimension, as well as consolidate position of Ukrainian technologies at its territory. The participation in the Program will also facilitate effective European integration of Ukraine.
