Clean Energy Transition Partnership programme (CETP) 2023
Clean Energy Transition Partnership programme (CETP)
Opening September 2023 — the CETPartnership is a £5 million transnational research, technological development and innovation funding programme designed to boost and accelerate energy transition across 30 countries.
About the challenge
The CETP programme is a transformative Research, Technological Development and Innovation (RTDI) program, designed to accelerate clean energy transition through annual funding calls.
It’s an international collaboration involving 30 countries and over 50 funding agencies, supported through the Horizon Europe R&I programme.
Our organisation is leading and delivering the programme on behalf of Scottish Government, Highlands and Islands Enterprise and South of Scotland Enterprise.
The joint call for funding will open September 2023 — information events and sessions on the call start in May 2023.
