Accelerating the heating and cooling transition

The Joint Programming Platform Smart Energy Systems (JPP SES) in cooperation with the GEOTHERMICA ERA-Net network, which Switzerland is a part of, have launched a joint call for proposals for transnational projects on 31 May 2021.

This Joint Call 2021 seeks to accelerate the transition to climate neutral heating and cooling by bringing together national and regional programs. The programs aim at energy system integration and technological progress in the various heating and/or cooling technologies, with a strong presence of geothermal energy technologies but it is not limited to this.

Both GEOTHERMICA & JPP SES networks have been organising Joint Calls in previous years and decided to combine their know-how of seventeen national funding agencies from fifteen countries involved in activities of ERA-Net GEOTHERMICA & JPP Smart Energy Systems to commit to the joint innovation initiative in coming years.

The GEOTHERMICA and JPP SES Joint Call „Accelerating the heating and cooling transition“ targets projects with a significant impact on the heating and/or cooling transition. The Joint Call is a two-stage process asking in stage 1 for pre-proposals and stage 2 for full project proposals with a budget allocated at approximately €32,5 million.

The portal for virtual matchmaking is open from 31 May 2021 until 04 October 2021.
