Termo: Heating and Cooling in the Future Energy System is a research and innovation call run by Energimyndigheten (the Swedish Energy Agency), the Swedish government agency for energy policy. It is a grant call under the agency's Termo programme (Swedish: "Värme och kyla i framtidens energisystem"), which supports projects that build knowledge and skills in the heating and cooling field. The call funds work such as the production and use of heating and cooling (including nuclear heat), circular value chains, recovery of heating and cooling resources, new market and business models, and security of supply.

The Termo programme stage runs over five years, from 2024 to the end of 2028, with a total programme budget of 160 million SEK. This particular call put up about 60 million SEK to be shared across the selected projects. The agency does not publish a fixed amount per project; the 60 million SEK is a combined pool, and each project's grant is set during review. Funded projects could start at the earliest on 1 September 2024 and at the latest on 1 December 2024, and could run until 31 December 2028.

The call is open to a broad set of applicants: universities and colleges, research institutes, the public sector, companies (legal persons), and other legal persons. A for-profit company can apply directly; the fact that universities and public bodies are also eligible does not close the company route. Applicants apply through the agency's online portal ("Mina sidor").

Applications for this round closed on 27 March 2024 at 23:59. The agency reviewed the proposals and made funding decisions in August 2024. The page does not publish a numbered scoring scale; projects are assessed by the agency against the call's stated purpose and energy-system relevance.

Practical caveats: this is a recurring programme, and the cited round has already closed, so a founder should check the Termo programme page for the next open call rather than this round's dates. The page does not state a per-project minimum or maximum grant, and it does not give a direct application or guidelines URL beyond the call page and a downloadable full call text.
