FP7 : ICT : Programme : Future and emerging technologies (FET) FET is the ICT incubator and pathfinder for new ideas and themes for long-term research in the area of information and communication technologies. Its mission is to promote high risk research, offset by potential breakthrough with high technological or societal impact. FET-Open is a 'roots-up' approach for exploring promising visionary ideas that can contribute to challenges of long term importance for Europe. The scheme stimulates non-conventional targeted exploratory research cutting across all disciplines and acts as a harbour for exploring and nurturing new research trends and helping them mature in emerging research communities. FET-Proactive is a 'top-down' approach fostering novel non-conventional approaches and foundational research in selected themes in response to emerging societal and industrial needs. FET Flagships are ambitious large-scale, science-driven, research initiatives that aim to achieve a visionary goal.
Programme-cadre pour la recherche et le développement technologique Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Les Programmes-cadre pour la recherche et le développement technologique (PCRD), appelés aussi Programmes-cadre ou en abrégé FP (du sigle anglais Framework Programme), sont des programmes de financement créés par l'Union européenne en vue de soutenir et d'encourager la recherche européenne à des fins de soutien à la compétitivité de l'industrie, conformément au Traité et, plus récemment, l'Espace européen de la recherche (EER). Les objectifs et les actions précis varient d'une période de financement à une autre. Histoire[modifier | modifier le code] Le 25 juillet 1983, une résolution du Conseil[1] institue des « programmes-cadres pour des activités communautaires de recherche, de développement et de démonstration », et lance le premier programme pour la période de 1984 à 1987. Les programmes-cadres sont élaborés par la Commission en consultation avec les États membres. Fonctionnement[modifier | modifier le code]

Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) Look at the future: Programme for the Competitiveness of enterprises and SMEs (COSME) 2014-2020 With small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as its main target, the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) supports innovation activities (including eco-innovation), provides better access to finance and delivers business support services in the regions. It encourages a better take-up and use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and helps to develop the information society. It also promotes the increased use of renewable energies and energy efficiency. The CIP runs from 2007 to 2013 with an overall budget of € 3621 million. The CIP is divided into three operational programmes. Each programme has its specific objectives, aimed at contributing to the competitiveness of enterprises and their innovative capacity in their own areas, such as ICT or sustainable energy: Video: CIP: Story of a Success

Intelligent Energy Europe The European Commission has set up a series of facilities funding Project Development Assistance (PDA) to support ambitious public authorities - regions, cities, municipalities or groupings of those - and public bodies in developing bankable sustainable energy projects. The PDA facilities aim to bridge the gap between sustainable energy plans and real investment through supporting all activities necessary to prepare and mobilise investment into sustainable energy projects. These activities can include feasibility studies, stakeholder and community mobilisation, financial engineering, business plans, technical specifications and procurement procedures. The PDA facilities are funded through the Intelligent Energy - Europe programme (IEE). They are managed by different entities with specific targets and criteria. 4 ELENA facilities (European Local ENergy Assistance) are managed by public banks, and one facility (MLEI-PDA) is managed by the EACI. KfW-ELENA More information will come soon.
Funding areas - Transport - Marco Polo Latest news 08/01/2014 : On 01/01/2014 the management of the programme has been transfered to INEA More 11/12/2013 : Call 2013: Applicants will be informed on the results in the first weeks of 2014 Don't Miss Marco Polo success storiesMore Five types of projects which shift freight from Europe's congested roads onto rail, short-sea shipping routes and inland waterways, or which avoid road transport, are eligible for Marco Polo grants. To qualify for funding, projects must involve international traffic. How is the money spent? The Marco Polo budget for grants to new projects in 2010 is €64 million. The five funding areas Modal shifts from road to rail and waterborne systems Most applications are for direct modal-shift projects. Catalyst actions which promote modal shift These must be breakthrough, technology-driven projects, providing supporting services for modal shift like management systems, integrated cargo control via GPS, or common IT platforms for inter-operability between modes.
EACI - Eco-innovation What is it about? Eco-innovation is about changing consumption and production patterns and market uptake of technologies, products and services to reduce our impact on the environment. Business and innovation come together to create sustainable solutions that make better use of precious resources, reduce the negative side-effects of our economy on the environment and create economic benefits and competitive advantage. But it is not just the environment that stands to gain from eco-innovation. The world market for environmental products and services is growing every year and new markets are there to be exploited. Want to know more? What's in it for you? The objective is to boost Europe’s environmental and competitive standing by supporting innovative solutions that protect the environment while creating a larger market for “green” technologies, management methods, products and services.
