Funding for European intelligent energy projects: the 2007 call for proposals
The 2007 call for proposals - the first call under the new IEE II programme – is scheduled for publication in April 2007.
The deadline for submitting proposals will be 28 September 2007.
Approximately € 55 million will be made available to support promotional projects and so-called 'integrated initiatives'. The co-funding rate will be up to 75% of the eligible costs - up from 50% in previous years.
This year's work programme will cover three themes (energy efficiency, renewable energy sources and transport) and focus on five policy objectives (enabling policies, market transformation, behavioural change, access to capital, training).
The IEE II programme will continue to be the EU programme for funding actions to make the market conditions right for a more energy intelligent Europe. IEE projects catalyse innovation and change through transfer of experience, promotion of best practices, education and training, building institutional capacity, information dissemination and development of new European standards.
"Hardware" type investment projects and technological research and development projects are therefore not funded under this programme.
