CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:CORNET is a network of ministries and funding agencies that co
 mbine their existing funding schemes to increase the competitiveness of sm
 all and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In this way\, CORNET supports new
  funding organisations worldwide to introduce pilot actions and schemes fo
 r pre-competitive Collective Research.\n\nThis CORNET Call for Proposals i
 s based on existing funding programmes for (collective) research in the pa
 rticipating countries/regions. As for the previous CORNET Calls\, the adde
 d value is to make international collaboration possible for these national
 /regional programmes\, whereby every project participant will be funded by
  the funding organisation of their own country or region.\n\nIn CORNET at 
 least two countries/regions that have a funding organisation participating
  in the CORNET call need to submit a joint proposal requiring three entiti
 es per applicant:\n\n	SME association\, organization or group\, that submi
 ts and coordinates the project\n	Research and Technology Organisation (RTO
 )\, that is (sub-)contracted to perform the research activities\n	User Com
 mittee consisting of min. 5 SMEs per country\, which guides the research\,
  ensures the pre-competitive character and benefits from the results.\n\nT
 he specific competencies of the various countries/regions are combined to 
 build up a level of knowledge and know-how\, which could not be obtained b
 y one single participant or by a set of individual participants working in
  parallel. There is no thematic focus in the CORNET Calls for Proposals.\n
 \nThe main types of targeted activities are:\n\n	industrial research and d
 evelopment\n	applied research and development\n\n\nThe main eligibility cr
 iterion is that proposals address Collective Research\, meaning:\n\n\n	It 
 serves the need of a wide grouping of companies\, mostly SMEs\n	Knowledge 
 transfer (dissemination) is an integral part of Collective Research\n	Coll
 ective Research is pre-competitive\, meaning research and development in w
 hich there is collaboration but no competition.\n\n\nA second essential cr
 iterion is to demonstrate clearly the significant added value\, when perfo
 rming the research on an international scale.\n\nEvery project participant
  is funded by their own country/region funding organisation\, according to
  their specific rules\, for Swiss-based applicants the Swiss Federal Offic
 e of Energy SFOE. The application has to be in line with the research topi
 c laid out in the master plan of energy research established by the SFOE. 
 It is recommended to contact the head of the appropriate research programm
 e well before submitting a complete application.\n\nDuration: max. 24 mont
 hs\n\nFunding:\n\n\n	Maximum funding for Swiss-based applicants: not speci
 fied\n	Eligible costs: personnel\, travel & subsistence\, equipment\, mate
 rial\, consumables\, equipment depreciation\, subcontracting costs / expen
 ditures that are not part of R&D\n\n\nSubmission:\nSubmission by the coord
 inator of the consortium on CORNET Submission Tool\, and parallel submissi
 on by each partners to their own national/regional funding organization us
 ing the local application template and referring to the CORNET project pro
 posal.\n\nApplications for financial support of the Swiss research contrib
 ution can only be considered if submitted in the official SFOE template\, 
 with a draft of the full CORNET proposal and other relevant information 30
  days prior to the deadline of the CORNET call\n\nDeadlines: \n\n\n	29 Sep
 tember 2021 at 12 p.m. noon (CET).\n	For Swiss researchers\, the deadline
