25 Energy Innovation and Energy Challenges

26 WHAT ARE THE EU OPPORTUNITIES?

27 KP7 - Horizon 2020 The basis for the Energy Valley International program Ref: Agentschap NL

28 Horizon 2020 Objectives and structure Europe 2020 priorities International cooperation European Research Area Shared objectives and principles Tackling Societal Challenges Health, demographic change and wellbeing Food security and the bio-based economy Secure, clean and efficient energy Smart, green and integrated transport Supply of raw materials, resource efficiency and climate action Inclusive, innovative and secure societies EIT will contribute to addressing these challenges Creating Industrial Leadership and Competitive Frameworks Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies Access to risk finance Innovation in SMEs Excellence in the Science Base Frontier research (ERC) Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) Skills and career development (Marie Curie) Research infrastructures Simplified access Common rules, toolkit of funding schemes Coherent with other EU and MS actions Ref: Agentschap NL

29 Wind developments up to 2030 DK: 4000 Mw Total windpower development offshore approx between and Mw? UK: MW BEL: 2000 MW GER: MW?? NL: 6000 MW

30 What will be our challenge? Source: Howard V. Rogers The impact of import dependency and wind generation on UK gas demand and security of supply to 2025 The oxford institute for energy studies (p.67 en p.71).

33 HOW DO WE GROW?

34 Building a European Energy Region of Excellence

35 Development Energy Region of Excellence Norway Schotland North Netherlands Niedersachen

36 Scale International level European North Sea Energy Alliance World-class energy hot spot Synergy with EU energy policy, EU regional policy and EU research agenda Concrete solutions for the development of cross-border energy systems European Energy Region of Excellence Scottish regional cluster Rogaland Energy Valley Ems Achse Binding sustainable structure for crossborder cluster collaboration Building on synergies and opportunities for mutual learning Integrated research agendas BUT! It s not an end in itself, it is an intermediary step towards European Region of Excellence Inter-regional level Energy Valley Ems Achse Hansa Energy Corridor (HEC) Other organisations Advanced cross-border cluster collaboration in the field of energy Growth of innovation-related activities Higher competitiveness of cross-border energy sector with specific emphasis on SMEs BUT! Lack of critical mass

37 Regions of Knowledge energy call : is the basis for the next step towards a region of excellence the ENSEA project Key theme: Trans-national cooperation of regional research-intensive clusters Duration: up to 36 months Budget: ( ca 3 M EUR) Financing rate: up to 100 % of eligible costs Participants: Research driven clusters from Norway, Scotland, Germany and the Netherlands and China as a Associated Country Award criteria: scientific and technological excellence, potential impact, quality and efficiency of the implementation and management Start project October 2012

38 Activities Funded by the Call Analysis, development and implementation of research agendas for regional or cross-border clusters Initiatives to improve integration What will be funded? Mentoring of regions with a less-developed research profile by highly developed ones Dissemination activities

39 Next steps wrt the EU Work Programme KP/7 Energy related activities / applications in on: -ENSEA project -North Sea Vision project -Smart Grids application -Asset Management and Logistics wind offshore application -Storage application -Energy Dike application -Data storage application -etc Next steps: - to become a recognized European Region of Energy Excellence based on a HEC cooperation between the EV region and Lower Saxony - anlysis/discusion/lobby on EU applications within the Horizon 2020 programme,based on the ENSEA project - anlysis/discusion/lobby on EU applications within the Interreg 5B programme,based on the Energy Vision project

40 Energy Valley Internationalisation: -EU strategy based on system integration -Lobby -Project Management & Project support -Consortium development over triple Helix -EU and Interreg applications -Reporting
