Overview of Europe 2020 Strategy
This project is implemented through the CENTRAL EUROPEProgramme co-financed by the ERDF.
EE / RES within Europe 2020EU2020 Priority: Sustainable growth - promoting a more resource efficient, greener and more competitive economy”
Flagship initiative "Resource efficient Europe„ advises MSs to use regulation, performance standards and market-based instruments (taxation, subsidies and procurement) to reduce the use of energy and resources and to utilize structural funds to invest in energy efficiency in public buildings and in more efficient recycling.
Thematic Objectives will be the basis for priorities of all funding programme – the 2 (out of 11) relevant objectives :
– Protecting the environment and promoting resource efficiency– Supporting the shift towards a low-carbon economy in all sectors
This project is implemented through the CENTRAL EUROPEProgramme co-financed by the ERDF.
EE / RES within Danube Strategy• Relevance: 4 out of 5 GovernEE partners located in Danube Region• Danube Strategy is a macro-regional strategy: durable cooperation
framework allowing policy makers to improve their cooperation and thus the effectiveness of EU, national and local policies
• Relevant Thematic Priority (2) “Encourage more sustainable energy” • Relevant actions of the Action Plan include promotion of e.g.:
• EE and use of RES in buildings and heating systems - renovating district heating and combined heat & power facilities (Energy Performance of the Buildings & Renewable Energy Directive)
• Cooperation between national authorities to increase the use of RES : research, exchange of experiences, dissemination of information
Currently open project generation facility!DEADLINE: 10 September
This project is implemented through the CENTRAL EUROPEProgramme co-financed by the ERDF.

Conclusions on funding programmes 1/4Regional Development - Territorial cooperation
KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGEINTERREG 5C - URBACT
CENTRAL - DANUBE P - CBCs
Relevance for the GovernEE partnership: all include the energy related
topics relevant for GovernEE, provide good opportunities to carry on
GovernEE results, building on experience of current cooperation
Focus: regional policies, exchange of knowledge & best practices
Actions funded: INTERREG 5 C and URBACT: Soft cooperation Regional and
urban policies Transnational and CBC: more practice oriented programmes
also provide scope for smaller scale investments.
Beneficiaries: Public authorities key beneficiaries, partnership to be adapted
to different geographical scope and type of organisations required by the
programmes
This project is implemented through the CENTRAL EUROPEProgramme co-financed by the ERDF.
Project example 1Funding programme INTERREG 5C URBACT
Type of activities Best practices, study visits; Policy Recommendations; Development, endorsement, implementation & evaluation of local / regional Action Plans;
Local Action Plan development, Local Action Groups, Exchange of best practices; Study visits
Partnership size 10-15 partners 10 (maximum 12) partners
Type of partnership Regional and / or national level public authorities are needed
More European cities to be involved: local or regional authorities and limited number of knowledge organisations
Geographical coverage Wide coverage from EU27 Wide coverage from EU27
Budget € 1.5 – 2.5 millionCo-financing depending on region
€ 1 million Co-financing of probably 70%
Duration 3 + 2 years (2 phases) 6 months project preparation + 2.5 years project implementation
This project is implemented through the CENTRAL EUROPEProgramme co-financed by the ERDF.
Project example 2Funding programme CENTRAL / Danube Programme CBC

Duration 3 years 2 - 3 years
This project is implemented through the CENTRAL EUROPEProgramme co-financed by the ERDF.
Conclusions on funding programmes 2/4Research and Innovation Horizon 2020 - LIFE+
IEE
Relevance for the GovernEE partnership: research projects can be linked to
small scale demo / pilot projects implemented by local authorities
Focus: research, demonstration of innovative technologies
Actions funded: Research activities; Demonstrating, piloting developed
technologies through small scale investments; Monitoring and Evaluation of
the demonstrated technologies . Demonstration and pilot financed through
LIFE+ and maybe IEE
Beneficiaries: Partnership to be adapted to type of action: Knowledge
organisation in case of research project, Public authorities in case of LIFE+
demonstration. Private sector participation encouraged.
This project is implemented through the CENTRAL EUROPEProgramme co-financed by the ERDF.
Conclusions on funding programmes 3/4Awareness raising
Training and educationIEE, ERASMUS for All
Transnational programmes

with Partnership Agreement per country- EIB Funds: Programmes such as ELENA, JESSICA can provide
additional funding for large investments in the field of EE and RES- Integrated tools will also be created such as ITI to finance large scale
and complex developments including energy targeted refurbishments
- Mixed funding including third party (private) financing will play a major role during the next programming period
