Deadline: 8-Dec-22
Vinnova is pleased to announced the applications for Collaboration on Commercial Applications with Graphene.
SIO Grafen is part of Vinnova, the Swedish Energy Agency and Formas joint investment in strategic innovation programs.
The purpose of the investment in strategic innovation programs is to create the conditions for international competitiveness and sustainable solutions to global societal challenges.
What can you apply for?
- Demand-driven collaboration in three project forms – feasibility study, innovation project or demonstrator project. The project should be about how graphene or other 2D materials improve material properties or functions in an intended application.
What does SIO Grafen want to achieve with the funding?
- In SIO Grafen's vision, Sweden is one of the world's top ten countries in developing and using 2D materials industrially. The projects within SIO Grafen are what enable us to achieve the vision together.
- The starting point for projects is an industrial need with an identified solution where graphene or another 2D material provides a clear advantage. The projects will develop and establish new value chains, strengthen collaboration, stimulate Swedish manufacturing of 2D materials and contribute to achieving the goals for sustainable development.
- This call offers three project forms: Feasibility studies, Innovation projects and Demonstrator projects. Section 5 describes the three project types.
-
To apply:
- Company(s) in the project have an industrial need.
- The parties have identified a solution where graphene or other 2D material provides a clear advantage
- The parties have the ability to develop a value chain that supports future implementation and use.
- Number of parties in the project group matches the selected project form
- At least one Swedish2. companies are part of the project group.
Funding Information
- SEK 300,000 – 4,000,000 depending on project form. Total aid intensity is a maximum of 50 percent of the project´s budget. The budget for the announcement is SEK 12 million.
Eligibility Criteria
- Consortia consisting of companies, universities, research institutes and other relevant legal entities. Depending on project form, different numbers and types of actors are required. At least one Swedish company must always be part of the consortium.
- The call is aimed at companies, research institutes, universities and colleges or other legal entities that want to jointly develop graphene and other 2D materials for industrial applications.
-
Requirements for the number and type of parties in the project group depend on the selected project form:
- Feasibility study: at least two parties, of which at least one is a company.
- Innovation project: at least three parties, of which at least two companies.
- Demonstrator project: at least three parties, of which at least two companies.
- For all project forms, at least one Swedish company5 must be part of the project group.
- Organizations that do not have a place of business in Sweden can participate in projects where they form an important part of the project's value chain. In the application, justify how the organization contributes to developing a value chain that benefits Swedish industry and competitiveness. Participation in the project is on the same terms as other parties, with the exception that you cannot receive a grant from Vinnova for your costs.
