2012 Joint Call on Green Technologies

Based on the positive experience of the Pilot Joint Call, KORANET will launch its second Joint Call in February 2012. This time, the KORANET Joint Call targets researchers from seven European countries and Korea active in the field of Green Technologies. In order to foster green growth and emphasize sustainable development, the proposals should mainly deal with one of the following sub-topics:   

- Reduction of carbon footprint
- Technologies for a sustainable development 
- Renewable energies and energy efficiency

Each project consortium should consist of at least 3 partners, one Korean partner and two European partners from two different European countries participating in the KORANET Joint Call (Austria, Germany, Poland, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey).

The KORANET Joint Call will mainly fund mobility and networking (travel and accommodation costs, costs for organising small events, small-scale research equipment, small-scale personnel costs) for a maximum duration of 2 years. The level of funding may be up to 25.000 € per partner per year.

The KORANET Joint Call will be open for the submission of proposals from 6 February to 6 April 2012.

The proposal has to be submitted online using the PT-Outline webtool at: www.ptoutline.de/koranet2

Please download the following documents for more information on how to prepare your proposal:

• Call Text  (updated version of 14 February) 
• Guidelines for Applicants (updated version of 14 February)
• Project description template (to be completed, transformed into a PDF file and uploaded to the Project Description page of the PT-Outline webtool).    
• Joint Call Flyer

How to find partners to form a consortium?

• You can either download our Experts' Profiles Brochure (updated version of 15 February) with information on the academic background, research work and the contact data of researchers that have expressed their interest in participating in the KORANET Joint Call and are open to be contacted by other researchers with the aim of forming a project consortium. If you wish to be added to the brochure, please download the profile template, fill it in and send it back to celine.timmermans@cnrs-dir.fr. 
• Create your profile at the relaunched CORDIS Partners Service run by the European Commission at http://cordis.europa.eu/partners/web/guest/home. Once you have registered you can post and consult partnership requests, check out the latest open FP7 calls and join us at the newly established group 'EU-Korea cooperation in S&T'. This group is devoted to researchers from Europe and Korea aiming at closer cooperation. As a member of this group you can contact the other members and post any relevant news on EU-Korean S&T cooperation.
