DESCRIPTION:The innovation promotion agencies of Brasil\, Empresa Brasilei
 ra de Pesquisa e Inovação Industrial - EMBRAPII and Switzerland\, Innosu
 isse\, are announcing a bilateral call for joint R&D projects. The joint c
 all focuses on research and development ranging from experimental proof of
  concept to technology demonstrated in relevant environment\, leading to i
 nnovative solutions\, which are considerably differentiated from comparabl
 e existing solutions in the market in terms of their functions\, parameter
 s or other features. They shall provide added economic\, societal or envir
 onmental values\, which have a significant market potential for Brasil and
  Switzerland. EMBRAPII and Innosuisse have opted for a two-stage evaluatio
 n process\, to align the submitted applications with the common targets\, 
 synchronise the funding decision and allow for a fair chance of success.\n
