The Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETPartnership) is a transnational initiative on joint Research, Technological Development and Innovation (RTDI) programming to boost and accelerate the energy transition, building upon regional and national RTDI funding programmes.
The CETPartnership aims to contribute to the EU’s goal of becoming the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, by pooling national and regional RDTI funding for a broad variety of technologies and system solutions required to make the transition. In that sense, the CETPartnership establishes seven Transition Initiatives (TRIs) in order to work together on
- organising target group oriented stakeholder management and communication in the field;
- developing thematic modules for the annual joint calls;
- implementing accompanying activities on knowledge management and maximising impact.
Due to the particular relevance of transnational cooperation, the SFOE is actively participating in the following two TRIs:
- TRI 3: Enabling Climate Neutrality with Storage Technologies, Renewable Fuels and CCU/CCS
- TRI 4: Efficient zero emission Heating and Cooling Solutions
Participating Swiss organizations
Switzerland being an Associated Country to CETPartnership, the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) and the Swiss Science National Foundation (SNSF) joined the CETP. However, SFOE will not participate in the current CETPartnership call 2024. Swiss partners can still join consortia as self-funded partners.
