EUDP CETPartnership Call

EUDP CETPartnership Call

Funds transnational clean-energy partnerships that support joint Danish and international research demonstrations.

The EUDP CETPartnership Call is EUDP's national co-funding track for the Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETP) — the Mission Innovation joint programming initiative that coordinates European national clean energy R&D programmes across more than twenty participating countries. CETP runs transnational joint calls with topics and evaluation timelines set at the European level; EUDP then funds the Danish partner(s) in consortia that are selected through the CETP process. This makes the CETPartnership Call the most structurally complex of EUDP's four funding tracks, as it involves both a CETP European evaluation stage and a separate EUDP national funding decision. EUDP is administered by the Danish Energy Agency (Energistyrelsen) under Denmark's statutory EUDP framework, established in 2007, with a programme strategy running through 2030.

Applicants must be Danish-registered entities — companies, universities, or research organisations — and must form part of a transnational consortium that spans at least two countries participating in the CETP partnership. Individuals are not eligible. Award amounts for the Danish component follow EUDP co-financing norms (typically 40–60% of project costs, with DKK 2–15 million a common range for the Main programme), though CETP consortium projects often run at larger scale. For grants above DKK 3 million, English submission is standard across EUDP programmes; CETP documentation itself is in English given the European process.

Because call topics, timelines, and consortium requirements are set by the European CETP cycle rather than by EUDP's domestic spring and autumn schedule, prospective applicants must track both the CETP call calendar (via Mission Innovation and CETP portals) and EUDP's national co-funding announcements. Evaluation by EUDP uses its standard eight criteria covering innovation level, climate policy impact, and commercialisation potential, applied to the Danish partner's role within the broader consortium.
