  2. Goals of the Austrian Programme on Technologies for Sustainable Development: To foster a structural change leading towards a sustainable economy through research, developmentanddissemination.

  3. Strategic objectives Strengthening of R&D competence by fostering interdisciplinary co-operation and networking Support in generating new R&D projects setting a landmark for the future Dissemination of R&D results and of the concept of sustainable development of the economy

  4. Qualities of the Programme Calls for tenders oriented towards the overall goal of the programme Supporting the generation of future-oriented RTD projects Support by program management before and after the call Evaluation of project proposals by an international jury Dissemination of the results and support through accompanying measures

  5. 7 Key Principles Orientation at function / service Resource efficiency Use of renewable resources Multiple (cascadic) use of resources Embedding, flexibility and adaptability (appropriateness) Tolerance (fault-proof), ability to learn and risk-precaution Ability to ensure work, income and quality of life evaluation by international jury

  6. basic research of strategic importance basic research studies with active involvement of companies stimulation of academic spin-offs project competitions accompanying measures concept-driven development of new technologies and components innovative conceptual studies demonstration projects

  7. What is the „Building of Tomorrow“? innovative residential, office and commercial buildings with a high market potential which – compared to the present practice in Austria – considerably reduce energy and material input which increasingly use renewable sources of energy, renewable and ecologically sound materials which also take into account social aspects and cost efficiency

  8. The „Factory of Tomorrow“ technologies and innovations in production-processes demonstration businesses product-service-systems renewable resources demonstration processes demonstration products

  9. „Energy Systems of Tomorrow“ focus: to increase the share of renewable energy sources in Austria (and reduce CO2-output) to secure the quality of power generation in Austria

  10. Success stories: considerable interest and participation among stakeholders in industry and research after only 3 years a number of concept studies will be realised as demonstration projects: e.g. construction of 8 “buildings of tomorrow” will start this year

  11. benchmarks (1999 – 2001) 82 projects financed within the first three years (1999-2001) 300 institutions (universities, non-university research centres, industry) involved (1999-2001) funding granted by contract and/or decree financial volume: ATS 132 millions (Euro 9,6 millions) (1999-2001) approx. ATS 650 millions (Euro 43,6 millions) (1999-2003) main funding: Austrian Ministry of Technology (about 2/3) co-funding: regional governments

  12. genesis of the research programme 1 call for proposals per sub-programme per year 1999: start of the RTD-programme, 1st sub-programme (building of tomorrow) 2000: 2nd sub-programme (factory of tomorrow) 2002: 3rd sub-programme (energy systems of tomorrow) programme scheduled to run until approx. 2003 or longer
