CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:The European Interest Group Concert-Japan is launching its 8th
  joint call for proposals on the theme of Sustainable Hydrogen Technology 
 as Affordable and Clean Energy. The European Interest Group (EIG) CONCERT-
 Japan is an international joint initiative to support and enhance science\
 , technology and innovation (STI) cooperation between European countries a
 nd Japan. For Switzerland\, the SNSF is the funding agency.\n\nThis call f
 or proposals invites Japan and Europe-based researchers to develop more ef
 ficient\, reliable\, flexible and clean hydrogen-based technologies.\n\nAs
  a part of this call\, researchers are expected to explore areas of resear
 ch such as:\n\n	Hydrogen Production (different mechanisms for water splitt
 ing – renewable\, electrolysis\, biological (fermentation)\, … )\n	Man
 ufacturing (fabrication methods for continuous process: scalability\, cost
 -reduction\, reliability\, sensors integration\, quality control\, … )\n
 	Hydrogen Storage and transportation (physical-based: gas\, liquid\, …\;
  materials-based: absorbent\, organichydride\, metalhydride …\; models\,
  … )\n	Technology applications and validation (transport\, power generat
 ion\, hydrogen fuel cells (catalyst\, electrolytes\, electrodes\, models\,
  …)\, heating and cooling … )\n	Systems Modelling and Analysis (perfor
 mance models\, aging and degradation models\, life cycle analysis\, financ
 ial analysis\, required infrastructures\, lab pilots\, … )\n\n\nCross-se
 ctoral research proposals combining natural and social sciences are welcom
 ed.\n\nWho can apply:\n\n\n	International consortia composed of at least t
 hree eligible principal investigators\, one from Japan and two from two di
 fferent European countries participating in the joint call.\n	Each project
  consortium should choose two (2) project leaders\, one from the Japanese 
 side and one from the European side. One of the two project leaders (the 
 “principal project leader”) will be responsible for submitting the pro
 posal on behalf of the whole consortium.\n\n\n\n	Swiss-based applicants: m
 ust be eligible for SNSF Project Funding (see EPFL Instructions for SNSF P
 roject Funding). The SNSF exclusively funds research conducted for non-com
 mercial purposes. Please contact research@epfl.ch to verify your eligibili
 ty for the call. In case of several overlapping SNSF projects\, all projec
 ts must significantly distinguish themselves from each other.\n	Swiss appl
 icants are advised to contact the respective National Contact Points in or
 der to check who is eligible to apply and what costs are eligible before s
 ubmitting the complete application\n\n\nFunding & Duration: max. CHF 250
 ’000 for 36 months (for this call\, the SNSF has allocated EUR 675’000
 ).\n\n\nTimeline of the call: \n\n\n	Deadline for proposals: 9 July 2021 a
 t 10:00 CEST.\n	Publication of results: December 2021.\n	Start of the proj
 ects: April 2022\n\n\nApplications must be submitted by the call deadlines
  via both the EIG CONCERT-Japan online submission tool and mySNF.\n\nFor f
 urther information\, please have a look at the call webpage\, call documen
 t (incl. instructions for Swiss-based applicants at page 36)\, guidelines 
 for applicants and EIG CONCERT-Japan online submission tool.\n
