The CET Call 2024 Partnership call focuses on research in the field of energy transition (clean energy). It aims to contribute to the EU’s ambition to become the first climate neutral continent by 2050. The Partnership has created seven thematic configurations, the so-called “Transition Initiatives” (TRIs), within the framework of this call. Czech applicants will be able to participate in the following four thematic configurations and the corresponding six sub-thematic “Call Modules”, which will have their own ranking list and evaluation mechanism. These Call Modules thus represent the individual “call themes” to which applicants are invited to submit their international projects: 

  • TRI 1 – Net-zero emissions energy system
    • CM2024-01 Energy data spaces and interoperability*
    • CM2024-02 Energy system flexibility: renewables production, storage and system integration
  • TRI 3 – Storage technologies, renewable fuels and CCU/CCS
    • CM2024-04 Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS)
    • CM2024-05 Hydrogen and renewable fuels
  • TRI 5 – Regional energy systems
    • CM2024-08 Integrated regional energy systems
  • TRI 7 – Built environment
    • CM2024-10 Clean energy integration in the built environment

* Applicants interested in module CM2024-01 Energy data spaces and interoperability are advised to contact TA ČR for consultation before submitting their application.

The rules of the call for Czech applicants are based on the SIGMA Programme. The total financial amount of TA CR support for the call for Czech applicants in international projects is EUR 800 000. The maximum financial amount of support per project is EUR 200 000. The maximum intensity of support for the Czech side of the project is 80% of the total eligible costs of the project. Documents outlining rules for Czech participants is available here.

Participating countries:

Austria, Belgium, Canada (Alberta), Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, Türkiye, United Kingdom/Scotland, United States of America

About clean energy transition (cet) partnership

The Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETPartnership) is a multilateral and strategic partnership of national and regional research, development and innovation (RDI) programmes in European Member States and Associated Countries with the aim to substantially support the implementation of the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan). It will contribute to higher level European policy goals towards Stepping up EU 2030 Climate Ambitions and the New European Research Area with the ultimate objective to achieve a climate-neutral society by 2050. The CETPartnership will also address the strategies outlined in the latest EC communications e.g. A Clean Planet for all and the European Green Deal.

CETPartnership Mission

CETPartnership aims to empower the energy transition and contribute to the EU’s goal of becoming the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. It pools national and regional RDI funding for the broad variety of technologies and system solutions required to make this transition. CEPT envisions a transition driven by industry, public institutions, academia and citizens groups that will make Europe the front-runner in clean energy innovation and implementation.
