This call is open for all scientific disciplines.\n\ nThe aim of this call is to support UK-Swiss international business-led in novation collaboration and thereby support their global growth prospects. The proposals must contribute to the development of commercial products\, processes and / or technical services which have a significant market pote ntial for UK and Switzerland. The projects should have an obvious advantag e and added value resulting from the cooperation between the participants from the two jurisdictions (e.g. increased innovation capability\, commerc ial leads\, access to R&D infrastructure\, new fields of application\, etc .) Innovate UK and Innosuisse have opted for a one-stage evaluation proces s and a coordinated ranking of the projects. An alignment of the common ta rgets within the project consortia with the funding criteria of both agenc ies will increase the success rate for funding. \n\nAmount :  CHF 400’ 000 to Innosuisse\nDuration :  18 – 36 months\nImportant Dates: \n\n D eadline: 26 July 2023\n Notification of award: 18 September 2023\n\nEligib lity:\n\nAll proposals must meet following eligibility criteria to be qual ified for evaluation:\n \n\n The project must have a maximum grant fundin g request to Innosuisse of /.-\n The project must last between 18 and 36 m onths\n The project consortium must include at least one business entity f rom each country (UK\, Switzerland) and one research institute from either UK or Switzerland.\n The participation of further research organizations and further commercial companies from both countries according to each cou ntry’s funding regulations is welcome.\n The research organizations and commercial companies must comply with the regulations of their respective country.\n All businesses in a consortium must be separate legal and non-l inked entities. This is to ensure that projects encourage genuine internat ional collaboration\, not internal company research. Linked companies are considered a single entity under the parent company. Any UK registered org anization that joins an application must be a separate legal entity which is not linked to the Swiss partners or vice-versa.\n If an organisation is not leading any application\, it can collaborate in up to two application s.\n The project must demonstrate a relevant innovation content\, added-va lue and benefit from the bilateral cooperation in both countries.\n Projec ts should have a balanced contribution of the total eligible project costs among the partners from the participating partner countries. No more than 70% of the total project costs can be claimed by any single partner or by all partners from a single participating country.\n Along with the propos al\, the consortium is encouraged to present a draft agreement on the\n In tellectual Property Rights (IPR)\, in order to reduce the negotiation time after the proposal has been approved and prior to the project starting da te.\n Both agencies will only consider project costs\, which arise in thei r country eligible for funding. Cross-border funding is not foreseen.\n Pl ease note that the inclusion of an ineligible partner in a proposal will r esult in the non-consideration of the entire proposal. For the definition of eligible partners\, see the national regulations and contact your natio nal contact person.\n\nHow to Apply:\nThe completed full-application must be submitted to Innovate UK for UK partners and to Innosuisse for\nSwiss p artners as follows:\n\n UK participants have to submit a formal Innovate U K application on their online portal.
