Clean Energy Transition (CET) Partnership Joint Call 2024 is open

The CETPartnership launches its third transnational Joint Call on solutions and technologies to enable and accelerate the Clean Energy Transition. Deadline for pre-proposals submission is 21 November 2024, 14:00 CET.

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.
