Düsseldorf, 24 February 2016
NetworkEuropean network bringing together …• 19 partners (programme owners and managers)• 19 countries and regions• > 20 programmes
• FP7 ERA-NET project• Start November 2012• Duration 4 years
Further programmes andcountries interested havepartially joined the activities
+Israel
Objectives and Goals• The overall objective of SOLAR-ERA.NET is to effectively
implement the Solar Europe Industry Initiative (on the transnational level)
• To launch 4 joint calls / to mobilise …… 50 MEUR funding from national and regional programmes… 125 MEUR total funding
To initiate / support innovative, industry-led projectsTo improve cooperation between RDI programmesTo strengthen Europe‘s position in the solar sector
„External“ context and challenges• Strategic Energy Technologies Plan (SET Plan)• Implementation Plan for PV and CSP 2013 – 2015• Horizon 2020• Difficult industrial context:
Harsh global competition, restructuration, consolidation...• Dynamics in research, innovation and industrial
development• Time constraints• Economic situation• Political and administrative changes
Context & Challenges
„Internal“ context and challenges related to joint callswith / between national programmes• Resources (critical mass)• Timing (synchronisation, readiness)• Innovation potential• Transnational value• Complementarity (topics)• Subsidiarity (programme levels)• Scope and scale (large / targeted call)
Context & Challenges

Projects Running (1st + 2nd Call)21 projects running of which:• 18 PV projects• 3 CSP project• Project volume approx. 19 MEUR• Public funding approx. 13 MEUR
14 projects in negotiation phase• 13 PV projects• 1 CSP project• Project volume approx. 16 MEUR• Public funding approx. 12 MEUR
Typical project
• 3 – 5 countries
• 3 – 6 partners
• Real transnational activity and value
• Innovative content
• Industrial relevance
• 1 – 2 MEUR of funding
• Reasonably balanced roles

ObservationsIssues for delays and stops• Project partners delayed with submitting national
applications• Change of project partners / consortium• Industry sometimes struggling…
• Delays with “parallel” national call / budget reservation• Shift of responsibilities from one ministry to another
(elections, restructuration)• Partial “incongruency” of available budget between
countries
• Network of relevant funding agencies throughout Europe• Successful launch of joint calls• Good / very good interest and participation in joint calls• Innovative projects and strong partnerships• Relatively smooth and efficient procedure on transnational
level but…• … delays in a few but important countries impacting many
projects submitted in 1st Joint Call – measures taken toimprove the funding decision procedure.
Conclusions
• Large time window for match-making foreseen for consortiabuilding in preproposal phase
• Better guidance for participants on national level• Increase of participation of countries and creation of strong
and innovative consortia
Provide for new industry-led innovation opportunities with a transnational procedure as smooth as possible on trans-
national level and optimised procedures on national level
Conclusions
4th joint call – preliminary timeline• Preproposal by 11 April 2016• Full proposal by 5 September 2016• Start of projects end 2016 / early 2017
Cofund• end of 2016
