Call for Proposals
The European Commission has launched on July 30 the first round of calls for proposals for three Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) set up in the European Economic Recovery Plan: Factories of the Future, Energy-efficient Buildings, and Green Cars. From 2010 to 2013, a total of €3.2 billion will be allocated to research to develop new technologies in key market areas, with half of the funds coming from industry and half from the European Commission through the 7th Framework Programme for R&D (FP7). This collaboration between the Commission and the industry will foster global competitiveness for European businesses, bring down the excessive energy consumption of Europe's buildings that make up one-third of EU CO2 emissions, and develop new and sustainable forms of road transport.
