7 Stakeholder platforms Member States / Associated Countries SET-Plan (10 Actions) Other Mission Innovation Clean Energy for all Europeans (incl. ACEI) Advisory Group on Energy (AGE) Energy WP

8 Who may apply? For standard research projects a consortium of at least three legal entities. Each entity must be established in an EU Member State or an Associated Country.

9 Types of actions Research and Innovation actions (RIA) Funding for research projects tackling clearly defined challenges, which can lead to the development of new knowledge or a new technology. Innovation actions (IA) Funding is more focused on closer-to-the-market activities. For example: prototyping, testing, demonstrating, piloting, scaling-up etc. if they aim at producing new or improved products or services. Coordination and support actions (CSA) Funding available for actions consisting primarily of accompanying measures, such as the coordination and networking of research and innovation projects, programmes and policies (e.g. training, dissemination, exploitation, standardization, policy dialogues, etc.).
