Transition to low-temperature heating solutions in multi-apartment buildings
Call summary
From the official text, opening part
Expected Outcome: The projects are expected to deliver on one of or combination of the following topic outcomes: Faster transition of district heating systems towards low-temperature operations Faster transition of building heating systems towards low-temperature operations Increased use of renewable energy and/or waste heat. Scope: Low-temperature district heating systems in urban areas offer higher potential for integration of renewable energy sources and waste heat, but their deployment is slowed down because the existing stock of inefficient buildings has been designed for high-temperature heat delivery systems. The topic supports the creation of the conditions necessary for the conversion of existing supply solutions – district heating, as well as individual heating ones – into low-temperature alternatives, along with reducing and optimising the heat load of buildings.

The fit is computed by code on every request. The call text (title, keywords, start of the official description) is compared with three sources: semantic similarity to the academic profile (50%), shared distinctive terms in YÖKSİS keywords and OpenAlex topics (25%) and publication content — titles, English abstracts and their Turkish translations (25%). Thanks to the translations, Turkish calls also meet papers written in English. Common words weigh little; below 40% is not shown. A subject hint only — not an eligibility, capacity or merit assessment. Hidden profiles are never listed.
