The GEOTHERMICA and JPP SES Joint Call "Accelerating the heating and cooling transition" targets projects with a significant impact on the heating and/or cooling transition. The Joint Call is a two-stage process asking in stage 1 for pre-proposals and stage 2 for full project proposals with a budget allocated at approximately €32,5 million.
A significant proportion of the projects resulting from this call are expected to focus on district heating and/or cooling systems, which does not preclude projects with different scopes and projects on industrial heating and cooling innovation.
