CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:CORNET is a network of ministries and funding agencies that co
 mbine their existing funding schemes to increase the competitiveness of sm
 all and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In this way\, CORNET supports new
  funding organisations worldwide to introduce pilot actions and schemes fo
 r pre-competitive Collective Research.\n\nThis CORNET Call for Proposals i
 s based on existing funding programmes for (collective) research in the pa
 rticipating countries/regions. As for the previous CORNET Calls\, the adde
 d value is to make international collaboration possible for these national
 /regional programmes\, whereby every project participant will be funded by
  the funding organisation of their own country or region.\n\nIn CORNET at 
 least two countries/regions that have a funding organisation participating
  in the CORNET call need to submit a joint proposal requiring three entiti
 es per applicant:\n \n\n	SME association\, organization or group\, that s
 ubmits and coordinates the project\n	Research and Technology Organisation 
 (RTO)\, that is (sub-)contracted to perform the research activities\n	User
  Committee consisting of min. 5 SMEs per country\, which guides the resear
 ch\, ensures the pre-competitive character and benefits from the results.\
 n\n\nThe specific competencies of the various countries/regions are combin
 ed to build up a level of knowledge and know-how\, which could not be obta
 ined by one single participant or by a set of individual participants work
 ing in parallel. There is no thematic focus in the CORNET Calls for Propos
 als.\n\nThe main types of targeted activities are:\n\n	industrial research
  and development\n	applied research and development\n\n\nThe main eligibil
 ity criterion is that proposals address Collective Research\, meaning:\n\n
 \n	It serves the need of a wide grouping of companies\, mostly SMEs\n	Know
 ledge transfer (dissemination) is an integral part of Collective Research\
 n	Collective Research is pre-competitive\, meaning research and developmen
 t in which there is collaboration but no competition.\n\n\nA second essent
 ial criterion is to demonstrate clearly the significant added value\, when
  performing the research on an international scale.\n\nEvery project parti
 cipant is funded by their own country/region funding organisation\, accord
 ing to their specific rules\, for Swiss-based applicants the Swiss Federal
  Office of Energy SFOE. The application has to be in line with the researc
 h topic laid out in the master plan of energy research established by the 
 SFOE. It is recommended to contact the head of the appropriate research pr
 ogramme well before submitting a complete application.\n\nDuration: max. 2
 4 months\n\nFunding:\n\n\n	Maximum funding for Swiss-based applicants: not
  specified\n	Eligible costs: personnel\, travel & subsistence\, equipment\
 , material\, consumables\, equipment depreciation\, subcontracting costs /
  expenditures that are not part of R&D\n\n\nSubmission:\nSubmission by the
  coordinator of the consortium on CORNET Submission Tool\, and parallel su
 bmission by each partners to their own national/regional funding organizat
 ion using the local application template and referring to the CORNET proje
 ct proposal.\n\nApplications for financial support of the Swiss research c
 ontribution can only be considered if submitted in the official SFOE templ
 ate\, with a draft of the full CORNET proposal and other relevant informat
 ion 30 days prior to the deadline of the CORNET call\n\nDeadlines: \n\n\n	
 30 March 2022 at 12 p.m. noon (CET).\n	For Swiss researchers\, the deadlin
 e for submission to SFOE is 28 February 2022.\n\n\nFor further information

 templates\, National Eligibility Criteria\, guidelines for Swiss applicant
 s or past supported projects
