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 2024 was launched on 19 September 2024 as the second annual co-funded call under this partnership with the participation more than 40 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:

CM2024-01 Energy data spaces and interoperability 

CM2024-02 Energy system flexibility: renewables production, storage and system integration

CM2024-03A-B Advanced renewable energy (RE) technologies for power production (ROA &IOA) 

CM2024-04 Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) 

CM2024-05 Hydrogen and renewable fuels 

CM2024-06 Heating and cooling technologies 

CM2024-07 Geothermal energy technologies 

CM2024-08 Integrated regional energy systems 

CM2024-09 Integrated industrial energy systems 

CM2024-10 Clean energy integration in the built environment 

The Call Text and the details related to submission process are available at https://cetpartnership.eu/calls/joint-call-2024.

For a proposal to be considered for selection, at least three independent legal entities (i.e. at least one Coordinator and two other Beneficiary Partners) must have been deemed eligible by relevant Funding Organisations from at least three different countries participating in the Call, according to their national/regional requirements.
