Important

A new programme, with a new approach under a new context for EU RTD during the next 4 years. However, it will be revised at mid-term.

Consider always the overall policy context (ERA, Sustainable Development, Security of Energy Supply) and address related impacts.

Focus on the topics/issues/instrument for which the call is inviting proposals.

High ambitions of new instruments.
