March 2003


EU to become the most dynamic knowledge-based economy

Promoting sustainable development Improving education, training and

innovation

Creating a “single market” in research:

integration as opposed to fragmentation

increased investments in research

European Research Area Strategy for new research policy in Europe


Research actions within Sustainable Energy Systems

aim at sustainable, secure and affordable

energy supply through

reducing greenhouse gases and pollutant emissions

increasing security of energy supply

increasing the share of renewable energy sources

improving energy efficiency

improving competitiveness of EU energy industry

improving quality of life within EU and globally


Implementation principles

Creation of the European Research Area in sustainable energy systems:

Focus on priorities, selective calls

Priority use of the new instruments

Mid-term review


Implementation instruments

Integrated Projects (IP)

Networks of Excellence (NoE)

Specific Targeted Research Projects (STREP)

Co-ordination Actions (CA)

Specific Support Actions (SSA)
