EU funding for research (the Framework Programme)

The European Commission manages research and technology development and demonstration on behalf of the European Union (EU), under the EU’s Framework Programme.

Thematic priority sustainable development, global change and ecosystems (ECOTECH) within the EU’s sixth Framework Programme (FP6) has a budget of around €2,120 million, of which €810 million will be allocated to researching sustainable energy systems over four years (2003–07).

The Framework Programme will mainly look at:

  • short-term impact: clean energy sources, savings and efficiency, alternative motor fuels
  • long-term impact: fuel cells, carriers/transport storage, renewable energy technologies, capture and sequestration of carbon dioxide.

BERR & DEFRA fund the Energie Helpline which is dedicated to supporting applications for energy-related projects. For more information, visit the Energie Helpline website at www.energiehelpline.co.uk
