Swiss Federal Office of Energy launches SWEET call: Living & Working
© 2021 SFOE
The focus of this Call 1-2021 is on Switzerland's evolving future energy consumption. Deadline for pre-proposal: 16 May 2021.
SWEET (SWiss Energy research for the Energy Transition) is a funding programme of the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE). The aim of this call ‘Living & Working’is to investigate and demonstrate how the overall energy consumption (of buildings, public spaces and mobility) can be minimized and how energy supply and distribution can be ensured efficiently and cost-effectively in geographically clearly defined (sub)urban areas such as neighborhoods and districts.
SWEET targets cooperative consortia of institutionsworking together over 8 years to pursue portfolios of interrelated, transdisciplinary projects. A consortium comprises at least 5 applicants from different legal entities and is led by a host institution which is a Swiss institution of higher education and the legal entity applying on behalf of a consortium. The consortium must collaborate with at least one established living lab.
SWEET Call 1-2021 is organized as a two-step process:
- All interested consortia can submit a pre-proposal no later than16 June 2021 (12 noon CEST).
- A short-list of the highest-ranking consortia will be invited to submit a full proposal. Deadline in November 2021
