Scope
Expected Outcome: Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: Advance in the realisation of the Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan Action of Renewable fuels and Bioenergy (for the fuels part) is supported, overcoming fragmentation by mobilizing resources and establishing across EU interregional value chains of renewable fuel technologies and by better alignment of public and private R&I priorities and of funding mechanisms. All sector stakeholders benefit from establishment of r enewable fuels value chains at EU, national, regional, and local level overcoming fragmentation across Europe. Different stakeholders (e.g., EU, SET Plan countries, regions, communities, etc) benefit from their engagement in the co-creation of a very flexible R&I Programme in renewable fuels. Researchers, industry, and public authorities have access to increased knowledge and challenges of the different renewable fuel technologies along their lifecycle and value chains and benefit from synergies to overcome fragmentation of the value chains and from increased critical mass in implementing R&I activities in the area. Technology providers profit from technology development, successful demonstration and de-risking of a portfolio of renewable fuel technologies, improved access to better financing exploiting synergies across funding schemes, and from more effective market uptake, increased competitiveness and commercialization opportunities. Energy producers, clean tech manufacturing industries and consumers benefit from improved performance and security of a portfolio of renewable fuel technologies and from better exploitation opportunities in a larger and more homogeneous marketplace. Policy makers and regulators are provided with evidence to accelerate permitting procedures and increase the public acceptance of innovative and sustainable renewable fuel projects, minimizing negative environmental impacts including biodiversity, and improving the regulatory framework. Scope: Following the revamp of the SET Plan and its anchoring to the NZIA and the European Research Area, it becomes urgent to boost the R&I activities envisaged already under the SET Plan Implementation Plans and their further updates and contribute towards pooling diverse resources to increase the R&I funding and impact across the European Research Area. This action is complementary to existing projects and instruments like the Clean Energy Technology (CET) Partnership [1] with the vision to support, facilitate and reinforce that work by providing a focused programming fra…

The mix of organisations
Who coordinated them
Coordinating an EU project is a demanding, specific job. These organisations have done it on this topic line before.
This is the shape, not the consortium. It says how many partners these projects had and what kinds of organisation were in them. It does not know whether your idea needs the same mix, who is available, who is already committed elsewhere, or how the work and the budget should be divided. Those are judgement calls on a specific proposal, and no amount of public data answers them.
Building the actual consortium — finding the partners, agreeing the roles, and writing it so it survives an evaluation — is what Scientific Network Management does. Free either way; the radar does not change if you never ask.
Get told when something changes
Most institutions find out about a call with three weeks left. We write when something opens, moves or closes that fits what you work on, with the deadline, the fit and the funder's own exclusion clauses quoted. Nothing in a quiet week. Free, and one click to leave.
Starting from the programme you are reading: Horizon Europe (HORIZON) — change it below if you like.
Leave the second box empty and you get whatever opened or changed recently, closing soonest. Fill it in and it ranks against your words instead: that is the difference between a list and a shortlist.
Scientific Network Management will send you the current list for these terms, and after that only what changes: a call that opens, a deadline that shifts, a clause that rules you out. Nothing is sent when nothing has moved. One click to stop, in every message.
One confirmation email and nothing else until you click it. No tracking pixels, no sharing, one click to unsubscribe.
Of every 100 Horizon Europe proposals
A funding strategy reads your institution's own published record against the calls that are open, and says in writing which are worth the year and which to decline, with the reason for each.

SNM also does
No obligation, and nothing here is conditional on using us: searching the calls stays free and asks for nothing either way.
