15. FP1 – FP7 CHANGING PRIORITIES Energy

16. ENERGY RTD OBJECTIVES • Green Paper: « A European strategy for sustainable, competitive and secure energy »  • Security of EU energy supply • Reduction of greenhouse gases and pollutant emissions – Kyoto and post-Kyoto • Increased competitiveness of EU industry

17. ENERGY RTD LAW AND HISTORY • In the current EU Treaty (Nice), Energy is essentially a national policy • Energy is only quoted under the title “Trans-European networks” • Energy measures have been taken through “Environment”, “Internal market” and “Approximation of laws” • In the Constitutional Treaty, Energy is a “shared competence” • The EU research activities born in the energy field: • European Coal and Steel Community (1951) covers the coal research • European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) in 1957 covers the nuclear research. The European Joint Research Centre has also been created at that time • Initial non sectorial research has been launched in 1974 (Council resolutions)

18. ENERGY RTD PROPORTIONS • EU (public) research represent around 6% of total 25 Member States research • EU energy research represent around 12% of total EU research • Fusion research is 100% done at EU-level • Around 25% of (public) research in renewables is done at EU-level • Fossil fuels research made by the public sector is negligible in comparison to the private sector

19. ENERGY RTD PRINCIPLES AND MECHANISMS • Public / Private partnerships are encouraged through: • Shared-cost projects (STREP or IP) • Technology platforms • A large freedom is given to researchers: • Call for Proposals (and not Call for Tenders) • Consultative process, Info days, Expression of interest

20. ENERGY RTD SPECIFICITIES • Two Treaties: • EC (FP: 2007-2013) • EURATOM (FP: 2007-2011) • Research and Demonstration • Two DG involved (RTD and TREN)

21. FP7 (2007 – 2013) SPECIFIC PROGRAMMES Cooperation – Collaborative research Ideas – Frontier Research People – Human Potential Capacities – Research Capacity + JRC (non-nuclear) JRC (nuclear) Euratom
