24. Bioenergy IRPProposal to: FP7-ENERGY-2013-IRPBy Tony Bridgwater and Emma WyldeAston University

25. Objective To bring together and integrate, on a European scale, programmes of a critical mass of research performers to advance the longer term research agenda of the SET Plan road maps. Key concepts: • Provide EU added value compared to efforts at national level • Provide economies of scale and levels of excellence beyond those achievable in individual RTD programmes • Integrate and seamlessly operate research facilities and resources against a common work plan • Provide a transparent management structure to implement the IRP

26. Aims The IRP should combine, in a closely co-ordinated manner: • Integrating activities to lay the foundations for long-lasting cooperation, • Exchange of researchers to ensure an efficient implementation of the research workplan and to facilitate the co-operation between research organisations and scientific communities, • Joint research facilities to foster the use of existing research facilities, • Joint research activities, to improve, in quality and/or quantity, the services provided by the programmes and to fill gaps in the existing programmes, • Transfer of knowledge activities to reinforce the partnership with industry in the context of the SET Plan European Industrial Initiatives, • Proposals could include actions on international cooperation, such as lab-to-lab cooperation with third countries. v

27. Mechanism A combination of: • Collaborative Project (RTD) • Coordination and Support Action (Networking) Bioenergy IRP is derived from the existing EERA Bioenergy Joint Programme structure with Members and Associates and 5 Sub-programmes

28. Project technical structure Bioenergy IRP focuses on the most challenging and most promising topics in 5 technical themes v v
