A Brief Re‐Cap on Clean Sky  

• On track in important gains towards the environmental objectives

• Around 75% of the work committed or achieved • Approaching 600 participants, of which approx. 15% SMEs and 

27% Academia/ROswww.cleansky.eu

New Frontiers beyond Clean Sky  1. Bridging the  gap: FP7 & Clean Sky end well before 2020, the reference date for the “ACARE SRA1 Goals”

Further demonstration required: Some large systems from Clean Sky ITDs will still need further demonstration in order to achieve a full TRL6 

Further improvements will be needed to reach the 2020 Goals, e.g. the 50% decrease of CO2 (ACARE: 40% from Vehicle Technology – 10% from ATM & Operations)

2. Growing competition (including new entrants)

3. New and ambitious goals in ACARE SRIA

Same eligibility criteria and conditions for participationand funding as H2020 Rules for Participation

Any specificity for Clean Sky 2 ?• According to H2020 RfP, minimum and additional conditions

may be set in theWork Plan when justified• The Clean Sky JU wishes to apply the “mono‐beneficiary”

derogation to allow single entities to apply as CP or Partners asalready in force in Clean Sky (derogation subject to a DelegatedAct procedure)

Applications can be submitted by:• Single entities ( SMEs, large industries, ROs, Academia etc.)• Consortia of entities• Clusters of SMEs/ROs/Academia

Not legally binding 

Funding rate will be defined in the Clean Sky 2 Work Planin accordance with H2020 funding rate “up to 100% ofdirect costs + 25 flat rate for indirect costs”

For Members (Leaders and Core Partners): funding rate isunder review, it may be set in a way as to reach a 50/50balance between public and private contributions

Which funding rate?

Not legally binding 

Participation of Clusters: Options (1/2)

Depending on the legal structure and applicable national law different options for clusters are available:

1. The Cluster organization exists as legally entity according to national or EUlaw. It proves to be legally entitled to enter into contractual commitmentsand to sign the GA and the funding agreement vis‐a‐vis the JU on behalf ofits members.

2. The cluster cannot be represented by an organization able to signcontracts. The JU shall carry out a risk assessment and check of theoperational capacity, financial viability and liability regime of the cluster.The JU may recognize the cluster as sole applicant provided that itsinternal agreements, management structure is well defined and ensuressound management. Its members would be the legal entities consideredpart of the applicant.

Not legally binding 

3. The cluster cannot be represented by a cluster organization. It mayparticipate and receive EU funding not as full Member but as “third party”(TP) linked to a main beneficiary if there is legal agreement/cooperationwhich goes beyond the action. The TP would not sign the GA (!) lessadmin requirements. The TP name, activities/budget would be identifiedin the GA, it would sign an Annex to the GA laying down the terms of itsfinancial liability depending on the results of the financial viability checkrun by the JU. The conditions under Article 19.5 of H2020 RfP shall be met

4. The individual members of a cluster such as SMEs, research organisations, Academia apply singularly to become participants in Clean Sky 2 JU sharing results with other cluster members and other Members of the ITD/IADP (via the ITD/IADP Consortium Agreement), provided that they fulfil the eligibility criteria and respect the rules for participation.

Not legally binding 

Participation of Clusters: Options (2/2)

The different 4 options need to be assessed in the light of the H2020model GA (under approval), the structure of the Clean Sky 2 JU call forCP and the future Clean Sky 2model GA (!)

Recommendations: the composition, management structure,functioning of the Cluster and its operational, financial capacity andliability regime shall be duly explained and documented in theapplication, these aspects will be:

• evaluated by the experts;• negotiated with the JU and the Leaders

Clusters will have to make sure that the combined capabilities of individual members will definitely result in an organisation capable to execute the activities in an effective way.
