Public R&D expenditure
- In 2013, Austria’s public expenditure for
energy-related research and development
amounted to 124,545,848 euros, increasing
the expenditures of 2012 by 3.7%
- The research areas of energy efficiency,
renewables, smart grids and storage define
the priorities of the publicly financed energy
research within Austria
- Survey carried out by the Austrian Energy
Agency on behalf of the Federal Ministry of
Transport, Innovation and Technology
Theodor Zillner, Abt. für Energie- und Umwelttechnologien 7
Public energy R&D expenditure
in Austria 1977–2013
- During the last years, the high
levels of R&D expenditure as
experienced in the 1970s in
consequence of the oil crises have
(inflation-adjusted) again been
reached and were even doubled
since 2010
Theodor Zillner, Abt. für Energie- und Umwelttechnologien 8
Who was financing?
- About three quarters of this expenditure
were provided by governmental authorities
(federal, regional, funding organizations)
- The remaining part came from (publicly
funded) research institutions and
universities provided in equity capital
- No third party financing or EU projects
were covered in this survey
Theodor Zillner, Abt. für Energie- und Umwelttechnologien 9
Hydrogen and fuel cells
- 2012: RD&D focussing on fuel cells
- 2013: RD&D focus on production of hydrogen
(primarily financed by the Climate and Energy
Funds)

BMVIT research and innovation programme
“City of Tomorrow”
- Development of resilient cities and districts with high resource and energy efficiency, increased use of
renewable energy and high quality of life
- Optimisation and adaptation of the urban infrastructure and extension of urban services
- Strengthening Austrian technology leadership and international competitiveness
Theodor Zillner, Abt. für Energie- und Umwelttechnologien 12
Special features of the programme
- Focus on neighbourhoods, districts and cities
- Strategic choice of key areas and topics
- Technologies and parts of technological systems
- Development of contributions to planning and processes
- Interdisciplinary methods and ways of working
- Connectivity: national (Climate and Energy Fund, aws,…), international (SET-Plan, JPI Urban Europe,…),
thematic (mobility, ICT, …)
Theodor Zillner, Abt. für Energie- und Umwelttechnologien 13
Topics
- Multitude of topics for the city of tomorrow
- System technologies and necessity of development in regard to
energy
- 3 thematic areas for 1st call:
• System design and urban services
• Built infrastructure
• Technologies for urban energy
systems
- Participation and inclusion of residents
and users
Theodor Zillner, Abt. für Energie- und Umwelttechnologien 14
Energy research programme 2015
- 35 million EUR budget according to the annual programme
• 3 million EUR for emerging technologies (basic research)
- Start of the programme: May 2015
