Accuracy

How we keep the data current

Programme pages and the MCP read a shared catalogue. Funding terms, readiness, deadlines and source references are stored with the programme records. Supporting editorial pages also contain context that can have a different verification date.

Scheduled routines refresh calls and review programme records. A successful sync is not the same as verifying every linked document: check the record’s source and verification date. Closed rounds stay closed unless a new public intake is confirmed.

Sources

Where the numbers come from

Primary sources include the European Commission’s Funding & Tenders Portal, the European Innovation Council, HaDEA, the EIF and the Digital Innovation Hub network. Official call documents take precedence over summaries. Registered source links, extracted text and fully indexed documents are reported separately.

Fit

How we judge whether a programme fits you

When researching programme fit with EUACC’s public records, work through these five factors. The MCP makes those records available to your own AI:

Eligibility matchCheck entity type, country, company age, TRL band and consortium rules against the specific call. A broad catalogue match does not establish eligibility.

TRL fitCompare the technology’s documented readiness with the entry conditions and funded activities in the current call.

Funding type vs needGrant vs blended finance vs equity vs loan — matched to whether the founder needs non-dilutive money, investment, or both.

Deadline proximityWhether a real, open cut-off exists in a usable timeframe — using the recorded portal date and its latest sync or verification timestamp.

Realistic oddsWhen a success rate is available, check its year, stage and denominator. Historical outcomes are not a prediction for an individual application.

Independence

Why nothing here is pay-to-play

No programme, fund or incubator pays to be listed, ranked higher, or recommended. EUACC carries no paid placement on funding data and takes no affiliate commission on EU grants. All programme, investor and incubator information is free to browse, in 24 EU languages, with no signup wall.

You can browse public research without an account. The connector requires an EUACC account and lets you use the records with your own AI provider. EUACC no longer provides hosted AI drafting or evaluation.

Corrections

Found something wrong?

If two records disagree, use the latest official call document and its published amendments. Keep the source URL and date with any correction so the underlying record can be checked. Review the source directory →
