  1. Materials for Energy Applications Joint Call: FP7-ENERGY-NMP-2008-1 Topic ENERGY-2008.10.1.2 Topic NMP-2008.2.6.1 Wiktor Raldow Energy conversion and distribution systems DG RTD

  2. Contents • Background • FP7- ENERGY-NMP-2008-1 call • Scope, special features… • Submission and evaluation • Recommendations

  3. Materials for Energy • Energy technologies require new materials to increase the efficiency, reliability and service lifetime, as well as to reduce capital costs • Basic understanding is essential for developing new and improved materials. This long-term fundamental effort should be combined with engineering considerations to maximise the impact. • Materials researchers and energy specialists have to work together to achieving progress

  4. Materials for Energy • Multidisciplinary and multisectorial workis encouraged in order to combine knowledge and work across traditional boundaries • Closer collaboration between research and high-tech SMEs is essential • Going beyond conventional approach is required. Think new, be ambitious

  5. Materials for Energy First FP7 calls – just a few examples

  6. FP7-ENERGY-NMP-2008-1 Call • Indicative budget: 25 M€ • (15 M€ Energy + 10 M€ NMP) • Funding scheme: Collaborative Projects • Max. EC contribution 3M€ - This is an eligibility criterion) • Publication of the Call: 30 November 2007 • Type: Two stages • Deadline for Stage One: 26 February 2008, 17:00

  7. Scope and content • The projects are to address a wide • spectrum of novel materials, • including nanomaterials, for energy applications • All technology areas of the Energy Theme are included, for example: • energy conversion and storage • photon capture • CO2 capture and storage • The research activities to be supported should go beyond conventional approaches, be novel, ambitious and of long term nature

  8. Hydrogen and fuel cells CO2 capture and storage technologies for zero emission power generation Renewable electricity generation Clean coal technologies Renewable fuel production Smart energy networks Renewables for heating and cooling Energy savings and energy efficiency FP7-ENERGY-NMP-2008-1 Area coverage

  9. Special features • This joint call is particularly well suited for cooperation with top class research groups from Third Countries • Activities related to benchmarking and validation (testing) of the new materials, which would have a positive effect on the industrial impact, are encouraged

  10. Expected impact • The potential impact on the energy system has to be significant and well documented • Exploration of new paths • Contribution to the establishment of a strong strategic position for European science and technology

  11. Submission • On line submission; no off-line, • no paper • Part A entered through a set of on-line forms • + • Part B uploaded (pdf file) by the applicant into EPSS • (10 pagesmaximum + 2 additional pages to describe the consortium and the estimated financial resources) • Initial checks: partnership, in-scope, requested EC contribution, • Evaluation: remote peer-review by independent experts; remote consensus meeting (tbc)

  12. Evaluation • 1st stage proposals will be evaluated based on two criteria with the following thresholds:

  13. Evaluation • Stage 2 proposals will be evaluated based on three criteria with the following thresholds:

  14. Preparing a proposal • Read carefully both the Energy • and NMP relevant parts of the Work Programme and the Call text • Respect the budgetary eligibility criterion (3M€) • Make sure your proposal is in the scope • Cover all the needed expertise (with no superfluous partners) • Follow the advice given in the Guide for Applicants

  15. Recommendations • Make sure that your proposal is concise (max number of pages) and clear, in particular in relation to all the evaluation criteria: • Are the concept, innovation and methodology clearly explained? • Is the impact quantified and measurable? • Ask a colleague to “pre-evaluate” your proposal • Do not assume that the independent experts know everything you know. • Good luck!!!
