EUREKA instruments for innovative RD&D Individual projects Eurostars (SMEs) Clusters Bottom-up Industry driven Close to market Trans-national Funding by national authorities based on Eureka quality label ( 1 G /y; 50 % in clusters)
EUROGIA2020 within EUREKA The EUREKA cluster dedicated to low-carbon energy technologies Includes the full energy mix and value chain Renewables, Efficiency, Carbon Capture and Storage Received a renewed mandate (2013 to 2020 after 2008-2013) to award the Eureka/Eurogia2020 label to RD&D low-carbon energy technologies projects. EUROGIA2020 promotes and facilitates partnerships between industrials companies and researchers across EUREKA member and associated countries

EUROGIA2020 Technology Domains EUROGIA2020 encourages partnerships between competencies covering a large spectrum of disciplines and the entire energy mix Cost effective Energy Sources Geothermal Solar Wind Power Biomass Hydro Power Waves and Tides Oil & Gas Clean Coal Enabling Technologies* Energy Efficiency Energy Storage Intelligent networks and energy management CO2 mitigation (CCS & valorization) Materials (including minerals) Tools, fabrication & Installation Processes; ICT (e.g. in smart grids) *The list is not exhaustive
A process designed by industry for industry: Light, Fast, Interactive Continuous submission with 4 cut-off dates/year. No need to wait for a suitable call 2-step process (PO and FPP) avoids unnecessary work A good project can be funded in 6 months No competition between similar projects; quality of your own project is what counts Funding success about 80% for labelled projects Project enrichment/improvement through extensive/continuous feedback and access to the Eurogia+ network But parallel applications in each country in addition to global Eurogia2020 application; and synchronisation of funding from each country not always achieved.
