Welcome

The European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan) Action 6 aims to “make EU industry less energy and resources intensive, more carbon-neutral and competitive”. The SET Action6 Implementation Plan oversees actions to enhance cooperation between national programmes and among countries in order to develop R&I activities into actual projects in the area of energy, resources and emissions efficiency in industry.

We would like to invite you to complete a survey on national R&I funding/financing schemes available to industry in your country to support the delivery of the Implementation Plan. The data collected in this survey will be complemented with data on European public and private financing programmes, in order to provide the project developers with a complete picture of the financing opportunities relevant for the Action 6.   

In parallel, a second survey is addressed to the stakeholders (industry, research, academia) to ask them in which of the SET Plan Action 6 areas they have interest in conducting R&I activities in cross-border cooperation. The aim is to map critical masses of stakeholders interested in the same area, per country, in order to identify opportunities for cross-border cooperation.

Some Countries have already provided information last year on their national financing programmes. Attached to the survey invitation email you can find the information that was previously provided by your Country. We kindly ask you to review this information and take the appropriate steps as outlined below:

  • If the attached document contains all relevant funding schemes and the related information is complete and up-to-date, please confirm this by email to SETAction6@ricardo.com and you do not need to complete the survey.
  • If the attached document contains all the relevant schemes, but some details need to be updated (e.g. updated/extended funding periods, new web address etc.), please send these small edits to SETAction6@ricardo.com. You do not need to complete the survey.
  • If the attached document is missing one or more relevant funding mechanisms relevant to the SET Action6 Implementation Plan, please provide information on these funding scheme(s) by completing this survey.

Please share the link of the survey with interested colleagues in your or other departments if relevant.

The deadline to contribute to the survey is 22 November 2019.
