EERA

Strategy Update

18 April 2018 - Brussels


Rationale for STRAT

EERA Strategy needs to be updated to address a new reality:• The existence of an AISBL, Sec. Gen and staff

• Delivery towards the SET Plan: from TWG’s IWG’s

• Participation to JA-2 CSA, FET Flagship, Battery Alliance,..

• Changing priorities and structure of new funding context: FP9

• Mission Innovation and international Cooperation

EERASE 4 (SET-4-2021) = manage change of expectations from EERASE3 and how we can make best use of such an instrument for European energy research

Need to define and anchor who we are, for whom and what we will like to be

Customer orientation, value proposition

Independency, sustainability and role

Establish our platform and tools, vehicles to make this happen through:

The AISBL

The projects we are running and participating to through our JPs

• Connecting with more stakeholdersEUA, ETIPs, JU, KIC InnoEnergy)

• Named beneficiary: SET-4-2021, JA-2

• FP9 and FET Flagships

Threats

• FP9 – budget size and structure

• Sustainabilty – funding structure

• Loss of interest by lack of project instruments

• Associated to the SET Plan performance/existence

• EUREC ?

• Failing to delivering on SET Plan IP

Weaknesses

• Unclear value proposition (internal/external)

• Non-transparent programme activities

• Reliance of EU funding (AISBL)
