 tional research\, development and innovation (R&D&I) projects in the field
  of bioenergy. The topic of the 14th Joint Call for Research and Developme
 nt Proposals is “Development and improvement of biomass conversion techn
 ologies for the provisioning of heat for industrial processes”\n\nFundin
 g will be offered to excellent proposals that provide clear added value th
 rough cooperation of partners in at least two (preferably more) participat
 ing countries. Novelty beyond the state of the art in the bioenergy value 
 chain addressed must be significant\, and evidence of exploitation potenti
 al must be provided (e.g. by way of tangible industry commitment).\n\nPubl
 ic funding is available for this joint call from funding bodies in Austria
 \, Germany\, Poland and Switzerland (via the Swiss Federal Office of Energ
 y – SFOE).\n\nWho can apply: \n\n	At least 2 independent partners applyi
