  39. The Intelligent Energy Europe Programme IEE

  40. OBJECTIVES Promote the EU renewable energy and energy efficiency policies (a new Energy Efficiency Action Plan published early 2011) Promote the EU 20-20-20 Targets 730 M€ for the period 2007-2013 A program helping to convert policy into actions by: creating and spreading the know-how and skillsneeded encouraging the wideruptake of proven technologies and effective methods and best practices acting as a catalyst for innovation informing and feeding back intopolicymaking

  41. IEE does not support the research and development of the technologies (FP7 domain). • IEE funding not available for « hardware » type investments and infrastructures (EU Structural Fundsmay support) • 2010 Calls for Proposals • expected publication date: mid March 2010 • Deadline: midJune 2010

  42. How thisyear budget bespent ? (figures to beconfirmed) • 56M€ to support "promotion and disseminationprojects" • Up to 75% of the eligibleprojectcosts • 15M€ for the "Elena"  facility of the EIB to support marketreplicationprojects • 17M€ to purchase services (Tenders) • 16M€ for concertated actions • Expectedprojectswithhigh impacts

  43. Who can apply? Any public or private organisation established in the EU, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Croatia(check IEE website) International organisations Natural persons cannot apply

  44. Funding areas 2010 SAVE- Energy efficiency & rational use of resources (20M€) 2 key actions: energy efficiency in buildings consumers’ behaviours actions ALTENER- New & renewable energy sources and energy diversification (20M€) RES electricity RES in buildings Bio-energy and bio-resources STEER- Energy efficiency and new and renewable energy sources in transport (10M€) 2 key actions: energy efficient transport : capacity building on clean transport and learning Instruments: Promotion and dissemination projects  Pilot Market Replication Projects

  45. Summarizing: What CIP does and does not • It excludes research and technological development activities • It is complementary to Seventh Framework RTD Programme 2007-2013 • It deals with non-technological as well as technological innovation that has moved beyond the final demonstration phase and is ready for market replication • It feels the financial gap between research development and innovation, by funding the transfer of research results to commercialisation, in coordination with FP7 • It covers the market replication of existing technologies that are to be used in a new and innovative way • It complement the Structural Funds and other EU Programmes

  46. Summarizing: CIP main funding schemes • 1- Community financial instruments for SMEs • 2- Pilot and Market replication projects • Policy analysis, development, coordination, twinning, best practices • exchange, thematic networks • For 2 an 3 the basic principle of funding is co-financing (EC grants to projects • in certain percentage to cover the overall costs)

  47. How FP7 and CIP complement each other • Complementary and mutually reinforcing actions • Designed to operate side by side in support of Lisbon objectives • Close coordination FP7: Dissemination of knowledge and innovation-related activities (within projects) CIP: Innovation support networks and take-up of proven technologies
