Summary
Considering the overarching aim of the clean energy transition, ETIPs, IWGs and/or similar fora are encouraged to align and coordinate their activities, defining cross-cutting aspects for accelerating the clean energy transition and contribute to the development of a European Research Area in the field of Energy.
Detailed Call Description
Special attention should be given to the key challenges of the European Green Deal, including, but not limited to, technological pushback, industrial production, societal transformation, and just transition. Likewise, contributions to the goals of the European Research ERA in the field of energy, in particular regarding how to incentivise investing in research and innovation should be addressed. Furthermore, proposals should develop a dissemination and exploitation strategy and implement dissemination and networking activities with other existing ETIPs and IWGs (e.g. joint workshops, thematic conferences, webinar series, regular exchanges, etc.). Relevant outputs of these CSAs will feed into the SET Plan information system (SETIS).
Proposals should address one of the following sectors: carbon capture storage and use, geothermal systems, hydropower, ocean energy, photovoltaics, renewable fuels & bioenergy, concentrated solar thermal energy (CSP & STE), renewable heating and cooling, wind energy, energy efficiency in industry, energy efficiency in buildings.
Proposals submitted under this topic are encouraged to include actions designed to facilitate cooperation, across Europe, with other projects and to ensure the accessibility and reusability of data produced in the course of the project. Proposals should include a finance and sustainability plan for future continuation beyond the lifetime of the proposal.
This topic requires the effective contribution of SSH disciplines and the involvement of SSH experts, institutions as well as the inclusion of relevant SSH expertise.
The requested budget for actions in the areas of concentrated solar thermal energy, energy efficiency in industry and energy efficiency in buildings should be around €0,6 million because in these sectors there is no ETIP, only a SET Plan IWG with lighter structure and activities. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of a proposal requesting different amounts.
