19.02.2021 Funding CZS Prototypes

The Carl Zeiss Foundation is calling for proposals for a new prototype funding programme. Funding is available for proposals that are designed to turn scientific findings in the field of resource and energy efficiency into prototypes. Selected universities and higher education institutions from the federal states of Baden-Württemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate and Thuringia can apply for up to 75,000 euros for one year. 

The goal is to raise the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) from TRL 4 (validated components in the laboratory) to TRL 7 (prototype in use).
