Get your best ideas funded

EUROGIA+, the EUREKA low-carbon energy technology cluster seeks collaborative, low-carbon energy related research and development projects.

Next cut-off date for project submission is 25 May, 2012.  Projects submitted by that date will be reviewed by the technical committee on the 20th of June in Budapest.

EUROGIA+ is a bottom-up, industry driven, market oriented programme which addresses all areas of the energy mix, from renewable energy to efficiency, and reduction of carbon footprint of fossil fuels. All innovative energy technologies ideas that will reduce the carbon footprint of energy production and use potentially qualify for funding.

The Technical Committee will review the full project proposals which are ready to seek the EUREKA label and eligible for funding by national authorities. The projects submitted in the preliminary project outline format will also be reviewed by the Technical Committee and proposers will be provided the feedback and assistance necessary to move to the full proposal stage. The technical committee consists of representatives of European national funding agencies, research universities and industrial organizations.

In 2011, 9 projects, representing about 50 M€, reached the full project proposal stage; 5 received the coveted EUROGIA+ label and were funded, while 4 are currently being improved to reach the required level of quality.

The process is one of continuous submission with 4 cut-off dates per year.
