The European Commission has issued a new call for

sustainable energy systems

COMMISSION

Call for proposals for indirect RTD actions under the specific programme for research, technological

development and demonstration: ‘Integrating and strengthening the European Research Area’

Thematic priority area: ‘Sustainable energy systems’

Call identifier: FP6-2005-Energy-4

(2005/C 233/12)

1. Specific programme: Integrating and strengthening the European Research Area

2. Thematic priority/domain: Priority thematic area of research ‘Sustainable development, global change and ecosystems, 1) Sustainable Energy Systems, (ii) Research activities having an impact in the medium and longer term’.

3. Call title: Thematic call in the area of ‘Sustainable development, global change and ecosystems, 1) Sustainable Energy Systems, (ii) Research activities having an impact in the medium and longer term’.

4. Call identifier: FP6-2005-Energy-4

5. Date of publication: 22 September 2005

6. Closure date: 10 January 2006 at 17.00 (Brussels local time).

7. Total indicative budget: EUR 20 million

There will be competition between proposals both across and within research topic areas in this call, which may result in some topics not being supported. Whilst quality will be the determining factor in the selection of proposals, it is expected that the budget will be equally shared between the area ‘Renewable energy technologies’ and the rest of the M-L term Sustainable Energy Systems Programme.

8. Areas called and instruments:

 ⁽¹⁾ IP = Integrated project; STREP = Specific targeted research project; CA = Coordination action; SSA = Specific support action.

9. Minimum number of participants (1):

10. Restrictions on participation: None.

11. Consortium agreements:

— Participants in IP are required to conclude a consortium agreement.

— Participants in STREP, CA and SSA are encouraged, but not required, to conclude a consortium agreement.

12. Evaluation procedure:

— The evaluation shall follow a single stage procedure.

— Remote evaluation may be used in this call.

— Proposals will not be evaluated anonymously.

13. Evaluation criteria: See Annex B of the work programme for the applicable criteria (including their individual

weights and thresholds and the overall threshold) per instrument and their application.

14. Indicative evaluation and contractual timetable:

— Evaluation results: estimated to be available within some 4 months after the closure date.

— Conclusion of first contracts: it is estimated that the contracts related to this call will come into force before the end of 2006.

6.1.3.2.6. Priorities for the 4th MLT Call for Proposals (Call 2006-ML)

The areas and topics open for the fourth call for “research activities having an impact in

the medium and longer term” (Call 2006.ML; Call ID FP6-2005-Energy-4) are described

in the box below.

l       3. Strategically important topics not well covered by running projects

a) Integrated production of energy and other products through the concept of

biorefinery. The objective is to cover the whole chain from various biomass feedstock to

upgraded bio-products (chemicals and/or materials), refined fuels and energy through the

biorefinery approach. Research should address advanced fractionation and conversion

processes combining biochemical and thermochemical pathways. The proposal should

involve process development from lab scale to pilot plant.

Instrument: this topic is only open for IP[1] proposals. To address the goals of the topic, it is expected that one IP could be funded.
