Regeling openstelling tender op grond van het Besluit EOS: lange termijn (projecten tweede call ERA-NET Bioenergy)

2007 June 1st The purpose of this call is to generate joint European industrially relevant research and development activities within ERA-NET BIOENERGY. This call builds on the experience that was gained in the first Joint Call on Small Scale Combustion of wood. This call provides new opportunities for industries and researchers to take part in multilateral cooperation in the field of gasification of biomass for energetic use and to enhance the quality of the conducted research. Projects are expected to provide knowledge through research in order to develop solutions which are economically competitive, reliable and environmentally friendly. Given the limited budget and also the content of the existing FP7 call from the European Commission the focal area that was selected for the joint call in the whole chain of biomass gasification is gas treatment and cleaning. The joint call will open on 1st June 2007 and will be closed on 6th September 2007. This call will be published on the ERA-NET BIOENERGY web page and on the web pages of the national programmes. See: www.eranetbioenergy.net This is a joint call by some of the ERA-NET BIOENERGY partners. ERA-NET-BIOENERGY is a network of national R&D programmes focusing on bioenergy. The network includes funding organisations from Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Further calls are intended to be launched within the ERA-NET BIOENERGY project. The ERA-NET BIOENERGY project has a duration of 4 years and ends December 2008. The funding agencies organising this joint call will be aiming to investigate best practises for arrangement of joint calls and subsequent evaluation of the resulting projects. We will also be aiming to provide a platform for the exchange of information and knowledge related to biomass gasification research in different countries through workshops and other dissemination activities. The European Commission actively supports the use of biomass for energ
