SWEET (Swiss Energy Research for the Energy Transition) is a funding programme of the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) that supports research and innovation projects contributing to Switzerland’s Energy Strategy 2050 and climate objectives through several funding instruments, including SWEET, SWEETER, and SOUR, the latter focusing on unconventional and potentially transformative approaches.
\r\n \r\n\r\n
The second SOUR call focuses on ensuring a secure and affordable energy supply during Switzerland’s transition to a net-zero energy system. The call is led by Prof. emeritus Marco Mazzotti, who oversees project evaluation, monitoring, and funding decisions, with support from SFOE experts. If milestones are not met, he may terminate projects and reallocate any funds that become available.
\r\n
\r\nThe guiding theme of the call is “Supply Security on the Path to a Net-Zero Energy System.” It seeks high-risk, high-potential “game-changing” technologies that could substantially improve Switzerland’s energy security while advancing the transition to net-zero, e.g., by increasing renewable production, enabling better integration into the energy system, or reducing energy consumption. 
\r\n
\r\nThe key idea is not incremental improvement: projects should aim for a major technological leap, starting around TRL 3–4 and reaching at least TRL 6, with commercialisation considered from the outset. In other words, SOUR is looking for unconventional technologies that could fundamentally shift the cost/performance frontier and eventually achieve significant market deployment in Switzerland.
\r\n
\r\nFunding duration: The total funding for this call is CHF 4 Mio., with which at most 4 projects will be supported. Each project may apply for up to CHF 1.33 million over a maximum period of three years. The start of the projects is planned for April 2027.
\r\n
\r\nApplications: Applications for SOUR funding proceed through a single proposal and require the formation of a team, a work programme, and a budget.
\r\n
\r\nProject Team: A team is led by one Principal Investigator (PI) and may contain one or more Co-PIs. Because SOUR funding is intended for small teams, the team size should be conducive to producing a major leap and enters into the evaluation. The PI and Co-PIs must be employees of a Swiss institution of higher education, a Swiss private sector company, or a Swiss non-commercial research organisation.
\r\n
\r\nApplicants are encouraged but not required to contribute own or third-party contributions, which are defined as:
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The overhead rate for this call is 0%.

\r\nDealine: 1 December 2026 at 12:00 noon CEST.

CLIP is designed to accelerate the translation of scientific discoveries into approaches that can improve outcomes for patients with cancer.
\r\n
\r\nThe 2027 CLIP theme is Primary and Secondary Cancer Prevention and Interception. This multi-investigator team science project aims to bridge the gap between basic mechanistic discovery and clinical application of innovative immune prevention or interception of primary cancer development and cancer recurrence after successful primary cancer treatment. Topics of interest include:\r\n
    \r\n\t
  1. Identification and validation of novel biological mechanisms driving early tumorigenesis and the progression of pre-malignant lesions for facilitating the development of targeted immune prevention therapies for both primary and secondary prevention.
    2. \r\n\t
  2. Integrating robust preclinical models with high-dimensional analysis of human tissue samples — including longitudinal samples from high-risk cohorts and pre-cancerous lesions or treated primary tumors — to elucidate key inflammatory pathways influencing antitumor immune responses, the role of the microenvironment, and mechanisms of immune evasion in early-stage disease.
    3. \r\n
\r\nDuration: 3 years
\r\n
\r\nFunding: up to $1,000,000
\r\n
\r\nEligibility: Candidates for a CRI CLIP Grant must hold a faculty appointment as a tenure-track assistant professor (or higher rank) at the time of award activation. CRI has no citizenship restrictions, and research supported by the award may be conducted at medical schools and research centers in the United States or abroad. Because CLIP is intended to support team-based translational research, proposals should bring together complementary scientific and clinical expertise. One PI should be designated as the Lead PI, with the others acting as Co-investigators.
\r\n
\r\nHow to Apply: The process for applying for a CLIP Grant consists of two parts: a Letter of Intent, and, if invited, a full application. Letters of intent and associated supporting documents must be submitted electronically through a special submission portal.
\r\n
\r\nDeadline, Letter of Intent: 01 December 2026

\r\nSafely exploring environments with a-priori unknown constraints is a fundamental challenge that restricts the autonomy of robots. While safety is paramount, guarantees on sufficient exploration are also crucial for ensuring autonomous task completion. To address these challenges, we propose a novel safe guaranteed exploration framework using optimal control, which achieves first-of-its-kind results: guaranteed exploration for non-linear systems with finite time sample complexity bounds, while being provably safe with arbitrarily high probability. The framework is general and applicable to many real-world scenarios with complex non-linear dynamics and unknown domains. For efficient implementation, we exploit goal-directed exploration, and receding-horizon replanning while preserving the framework’s guarantees, and demonstrate safe, efficient exploration in challenging unknown environments using a car model.

\r\nWhat if robots didn’t replace us, but worked alongside us? Robots are capable of assembling, analysing, experimenting and learning from their mistakes. Could they take on construction work without replacing human labour? Research carried out by the CRCL – Lab for Creative Computation at EPFL explores a form of collaboration between humans and machines that departs from the traditional promise of automation. It opens the way to more inclusive building sites and non-standardised, more environmentally friendly architecture that goes beyond the mere logic of replacement and productivity.
