2007-10-15: Fourteen applications to ProEnviro

The ProEnviro programme will support projects carried out in collaboration between small and medium sized companies, SMEs, and universities/institutes.  

The aim is to stimulate the development of a new generation of globally competitive products, production processes and/or services designed for high performance and radical reduction of pressures on natural resources and the environment during their entire life cycle.  

The programme is focussed on SMEs with production and/or development operating in Sweden. The main aims of the research are product development, production, product support and maintenance in a life cycle perspective for improved environmental performance.  

The Programme will allocate a total of SEK 60 million for the 3-year period from January 2007 to December 2009. Funding will be granted on a project-to-project basis. This Call for Proposals has been allocated SEK 33 million for projects during 2008 and 2009. Additional support from other sources, mainly participating industry, is assumed to be about the same amount. This is the second Call for Proposals.

ProEnviro was set up jointly by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research, SSF, and the Foundation for Strategic Environmental Research, Mistra.

The closing date for proposals is 27 September 2007.
