DESCRIPTION:Switzerland and Sweden face common challenges in their high-te
 ch industries. In 2013 both countries initiated the Swiss-Swedish Innovati
 on Initiative SWII. SWII is an industrial R&D partnering program with the 
 objective to increase market oriented high-technology R&D projects between
  Switzerland and Sweden. SWII gathers the most technology intensive MNEs\,
  SMEs and academia two to three times a year and issues bilateral calls fo
 r R&D project proposals within EUREKA & Eurostars.\n \nThe deadline for t
 he ninth Swiss-Swedish Innovation Initiative (SWII) Call for R&D Project O
 utlines will be 29 November 2019 (Call document).\nThe Call is open to al
 l topics of the Swiss-Swedish Innovation Initiative (SWII)\, but focuses 
 on Digitalisation (Artificial Intelligence\, Big Data & Virtual Reality/Au
 gmented Reality).\n \nThe aim of the SWII calls is to provide applicants:
 \n\n	Partnering opportunities\n	Recommendations on suitable EUREKA funding
  mechanisms\n	Guidance on how to prepare a high quality proposal\n\n \nCo
 nsortia participating in the upcoming call should integrate partners from 
 both Switzerland and Sweden and are invited to discuss project ideas with 
 the respective EUREKA Eurostars office before submission.\n \nHow to appl
 y\n \n\n	Partners are encouraged to submit a short Project Outline\, whic

 s the most popular Eureka instrument.\n	The national EUREKA offices in Swe
 den and Switzerland will assist on how to submit full applications.\n\n \
