The Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETPartnership) is a Co-funded Partnership project supported within the Horizon Europe Program. The objective is to implement Research and Development (R&D) and innovation projects that contribute to the clean energy transition process across Europe. In this context, supported projects will be financed by national funding agencies after being evaluated by an international expert panel.
CETPartnership Joint Call 2023 was launched on 20 September 2023 as the second annual co-funded call under this partnership with the participation of 48 regional and local funding agencies from 30 different countries, including TÜBİTAK.
To cover different topics and RDI types, the Call is structured into diverse Call Modules, aimed at different energy technologies and/or systems as well as both research and innovation-oriented approaches on different Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs), complementing and completing each other. These call modules are:
- CM2023-01: Direct current (DC) technologies for power networks
- CM2023-02: Energy system flexibility: renewables production, storage and system integration
- CM2023-03 (A/B): Advanced renewable energy (RE) technologies for power production
- CM2023-04: Carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS)
- CM2023-05: Hydrogen and renewable fuels
