WTT-Konzept und WTT-Toolbox für das Förderprogramm SWEET

• Forschungsstelle: BFE
• Projektnummer: SI/502065

Kurzbeschreibung (Deutsch)

Entwicklung eines übergeordneten WTT-Konzepts für SWEET (Ebene Programm & Ebene Konsortien), das einen klaren Anforderungsrahmen definiert und gleichzeitig die Konsortien aktiv bei WTT-Massnahmen unterstützt und dabei auch deren Zusammenarbeit fördert. Das WTT-Konzept wird dann hauptsächlich von den Konsortien getragen und umgesetzt, mit subsidiärer Koordination des BFE.

Schlussbericht (Englisch)

The urgent need to achieve the climate targets under the Paris agreement, economic and tech-nological developments as well as political decisions are currently leading to fundamental changes in the energy markets. In order to decarbonize the Swiss energy system, the Federal Council has developed the Energy Strategy 2050 and built national research capacities within the framework of the action plan “Coordinated Energy Research Switzerland” (2013-2020). The establishment of the Swiss Competence Centers in Energy Research (SCCERs) and other en-ergy research programs led to profound progress in terms of technological innovation, capacity building, and inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration. Less progress was made in terms of ac-tual system transformation, creating a need for knowledge and technology transfer (KTT, see Chapter 1 & 2), for which far less resources have been earmarked compared to research.

The new funding program “Swiss Energy research for the Energy Transition” (SWEET) of the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) launched in 2020 responds to this observation by as-signing a key role to KTT in future SWEET consortia and projects (Chapter 3).
Addressing the members of the SWEET Program Management and other interested actors in the Swiss energy innovation system, this report aims at capitalizing on available knowledge and experiences on KTT to support the SWEET program management and consortia in setting up effective mechanisms. Recommendations for actions for the SWEET Program management have been derived from the collective knowledge of the working group “KTT in large Energy Re-search Programs” (Table 2). A center piece of this synthesis is the customized Morphological Box (Chapter 4.1) serving as entry point for decision making to find the most suitable among 30 recommended KTT tools, which are presented alphabetically (Chapters 4.2 and 4.3) and in different spread sheets (Chapter 4.4) for quick orientation. The last Chapter 4.5 guides the reader back to the realities outside the limited framework of the KTT toolbox.
This document is an interim report meant to support the efforts of the Swiss Federal Office of Energy to improve knowledge and technology transfer for Swiss energy research. The concept and tools presented in this report will be used to elaborate, in a second step, a “KTT implemen-tation product” to inspire and support future KTT officers. As such, it should be easy to use, ef-fective and, if lucky, also funny to apply!
