Description
The nationwide open grant program supports universities, non-university research institutions, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in pre-competitive collaborative projects for the development and market launch of hybrid materials. Research and development projects with a clear industrial application focus are funded for a duration of up to 30 months. The funding rate is up to 100% for research institutions and up to 50% for commercial enterprises, depending on the partner; SMEs may additionally receive a bonus under certain conditions. Applications must be submitted electronically to the project management agency Jülich (PtJ) within the framework of separate calls.
The objective is to increase marketability and establish new processes, products, and services based on hybrid material combinations. Technology-oriented projects with proven technological maturity and an expected significant increase in industrial application are required. Project consortia must include at least two companies—of which at least one is an SME—with one partner acting as the consortium leader, and all participants must have concluded a written cooperation agreement. In this way, sustainable conditions for broad market introduction are created.
