Solar Cofund 2 Joint Call

Basic Information

SOLAR-ERA.NET Cofund 2 Joint Call topics are based on priorities identified in the Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan resp. in the subsequent Implementation Plans for PV and CSP that are available on the solar-era.net website and on SETIS (PV and CSP). They include strategic targets that shall serve as reference for this call and proposals to be submitted.

Network Solar Cofund 2
Website http://www.solar-era.net/joint-calls/
Aim of the joint call SOLAR-ERA.NET Cofund 2 will bring together 15 national organisations owning and / or managing major solar power research and innovation programmes throughout Europe, covering photovoltaics (PV) and concentrating solar power (CSP). The network of national and regional funding agencies should increase transnational cooperation between R&D and innovation programmes and contribute to the implementation of the Strategic Energy Technologies (SET-) Plan through specific transnational activities (especially joint calls).
