– Informed consent: When describing issues relating to informed consent, it
will be necessary to illustrate an appropriate level of ethical sensitivity, and
consider issues of insurance, incidental findings and the consequences of
withdrawing from the study.
– Data protection issues: Avoid the unnecessary collection and use of
personal data. Identify the source of the data, describing whether it is
collected as part of the research or is previously collected data being used.
Consider issues of informed consent for any data being used. Describe how
personal identification in the data is protected.
– Use of animals: Where animals are used in research the application of the
3Rs (Replace, Reduce, Refine) must be convincingly addressed. Numbers
of animals should be specified. Describe what happens to the animals after
the research experiments.

4. Ethical Issues (2/2)

– Human embryonic stem cells: Research proposals that will
involve human embryonic stem cells (hESC) will have to address all
the following specific points:
• the necessity to use hESC in order to achieve the scientific objectives
set forth in the proposal.
• whether the applicants have taken into account the legislation,
regulations, ethical rules and/or codes of conduct in place in the
country(ies) where the research using hESC is to take place, including
the procedures for obtaining informed consent;
• the source of the hESC
• the measures taken to protect personal data, including genetic data,
and privacy;
• the nature of financial inducements, if any.
– Identify the countries where research will be undertaken and
which ethical committees and regulatory organisations will
need to be approached during the life of the project.
– Include the Ethical issues table. If you indicate YES to any issue,
please identify the pages in the proposal where this ethical issue is

Key EU Challenges

Global energy demand predicted to increase by 60% over the next 30
years

Finite nature of conventional oil and natural gas reserves

EU energy dependency could rise from 50% to 70% by 2030; volatility of
oil prices and geopolitical instability

Over 90% of EU CO2 emissions causing climate change are attributable
to energy

Global energy investments of €12 trillion required up to 2030 – huge
market potential, but EU under severe threat from global competitors

EU Energy objectives and
priorities

Diversified energy mix
Energy efficiency & conservation
Low carbon
Less dependence on imported fuels

Security of supply
Sustainable development
Social benefit
Global climate change and environmental
degradation
Competitiveness

SET Plan Principles
• Europe must pursue advances in a broad portfolio of energy
technology fields
• allow Member States to choose freely the optimal
combination of energy technologies and R&D priorities, in
line with their prerogative to decide their own energy mix.
• All sectors involved in energy-producing, energy-saving and
energy-using products and services must be guided and
stimulated towards the use of cleaner and more efficient
energy technologies.
• The full engagement of the private sector is essential.
• A stable and predictable policy framework which gives clear
signals, regulatory certainty and transparency and concrete
commitments, is a prerequisite.
• For each type of energy technology, the policy framework
should address, where needed, the entire supply chain from
basic research to full-scale market penetration.

SET Plan objectives
• to set up the priority Industrial Initiatives
• to further increase efforts on energy efficiency by
supporting and stimulating RDD&D on end-use
technologies
• To set up a high level steering group
• To increase EU and national funding for RDD&D
• To improve and enlarge the Community's world-class
knowledge base of energy researchers and research
institutes
• To develop, where appropriate, covenants between
government, industry and researchers for different types
of energy-producing and energy-saving technologies,
• To introduce appropriate policies and measures
• To increase international cooperation

1. Cooperation programme

priority- top-
European priority-driven and top-down research, implemented
through 10 thematic areas

Feature:
International Cooperation integrated at thematic level


Collaborative Research Projects

Support to research projects carried out by consortia with participants
from different countries, aiming at developing new knowledge, new
technology, products or common resources for research
The size, scope and internal organisation of projects can vary from
field to field and from topic to topic.
medium-
Projects can range from small or medium-scale focused research
actions to larger integrating projects which mobilise a significant
volume of resources for achieving a defined objective.

Call for proposals
Commission-specified topics
Commission-
Commission-
Commission-specified project types
two-
Evaluation procedure could differ (one or two-step)
Could also specify estimated budget, size and composition
of consortium (types and locations of partners)


International Cooperation in the
Specific Programme ‘Cooperation’ (i)

All themes open to third countries

Minimum 3 different EU Member State (MS) or Associated countries
(AC)
Beyond this minimum, all 3rd countries can participate
International Cooperation Partner Countries (ICPC) would generally
be funded
Industrialised countries funded only if indispensable for the project
Targeted calls possible


International Cooperation in the
Specific Programme ‘Cooperation’ (ii)

In addition: Specific International Cooperation
Actions linked to the 10 themes

Calls for proposals dedicated to ICPC in each Theme (see
relevant work programme)
Minimum 4 participants from different countries: 2 ICPC
