SWEET is a funding programme of the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE). SWEET’s purpose is to fund solution-oriented research and innovations with a focus on the targets of Switzerland’s Energy Strategy 2050 and long-term climate strategy.
The programme was launched in early 2021. It consists of three funding instruments:
SWEET – ‘SWiss Energy research for the Energy Transition’
SWEET focuses on solution-oriented research and supports interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary consortia from science, the private sector and the public sector that conduct holistic research into specific topics over a period of six to eight years. No new calls for proposals will be issued.
SWEETER – ‘SWiss research for the EnErgy Transition and Emissions Reduction’
SWEETER is the continuation of SWEET and is being implemented jointly with the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN). Three calls for proposals are planned between 2025 and 2028. Depending on the decisions of Parliament, further calls for proposals may follow from 2028 onwards.
SOUR – ‘SWEET OUtside-the-box Rethinking’
SOUR promotes high-risk research approaches and potential ‘game changers’ for the future Swiss energy system. The focus lies on agile projects lasting a maximum of 18 months, which are implemented by individual researchers or small teams.
