2. Supported by What is EERA? The European Energy Research Alliance was established in 2008 to support the SET-plan. Mission: aims to accelerate the development and deployment of cost- effective low carbon technologies Cooperation of Energy Research Organisations In principle open to all research organisations Activities based on participants own resources, but Complemented by competitive funding from the European Commission (FP7) Long-term strategy, Agreed Division of Tasks and Responsibilities EERA virtual teams working on one topic (specialization) More than 200 participating organisations Collaborating in 15 EERA Joint Programmes

Supported by 15 Joint Programmes AMPEA (Advanced Materials and Processes for Energy Application) Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Storage Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Economic, environmental and social impacts (JP e3s) Energy Efficiency in industrial processes Energy Storage Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Geothermal Nuclear Materials Ocean Energy Photovoltaic Solar Energy Shale Gas Smart Cities Smart Grids Wind Energy

4. Supported by What is EERA JP WIND? The EERA Joint Programme on Wind Energy (EERA JP Wind) started in 2010 on a voluntary basis. The mission for EERA JP Wind is to provide strategic leadership for the medium to long-term research and to support the European Industrial Initiative and the Technology Roadmap activities on wind energy. Added value through: Strategic leadership of the underpinning research Joint prioritisation of research tasks and infrastructure Alignment of European and national research efforts Execution of coordinated and structured research in medium to long-term programmes Coordination with industry, and Sharing of knowledge and research infrastructure.

8. Supported by IRPWIND – what’s it all about? Vision: The vision of IRPWIND, is to move from a voluntary network towards a “virtual research centre” running an Integrated Research Programme and further evolve a common European Research Area for wind energy research in Europe. IRPWIND is designed to take the work done in the EERA JP Wind to the next level towards creating a European Integrated Research Programme on wind energy.

9. Supported by IRPWIND – what’s it all about? Strategic level EII Teams, EERA Strategy and Road Map, influence National strategies Tactical level Integration of existing and planned activities (EERA DoW, workshops, IRPWIND mobility scheme) New joint activities (ERA NET+, Berlin model, ad hoc) Operational level Planning, reporting and knowledge sharing, sharing infrastructures, network creation Integration, coordination and alignment of research

10. Supported by The aim of EERA and the IRPWIND is to foster better integration of European research activities in the field of wind energy research An objective is to integrate the various capacities and resources in the joint research activities described in this IRP- with other ongoing European and National projects carried out by IRPWIND partners and/or other EERA JP Wind members IRPWIND adds a more strategic and long-term approach that enables researchers to pool relevant parts of their research. However: IRPWIND is also an unprecedented funding scheme IRPWIND overall objectives

12. Supported by Wind energy is primarily funded via national projects and national agendas are still dominating. National alignment and Coordination? – Between partners but not yet between national projects. Success in IRPWIND also depends on commitment from industry and funding agencies Strive for more Berlin model projects in the years to come. Joint research is about knowledge development and sharing, not technological development. Strategy and plans have changes in potential and ambitions from PPYs to specific outcome/deliverables. The current work regarding integration of national projects is essential for IRPWIND. How this integration will affect the research topics in the IRPWIND is still missing. To what extent are we moving towards a virtual centre for wind energy research in Europe?

13. Supported by “SWOT” status Strengths and opportunities EERA Wind comprises most relevant EU institutes and continues to grow Recognized as integral part of the Wind Sector in Europe and the SET Plan Successful with European projects and European Coordination Solid governance Weaknesses and threats Not all members can be part of all consortia if we have to stay effective Different degrees of commitment and activity between partners The PPYs indicated in DOW are not a real commitment to joint deliverables Difficult to point to national coordination effects

14. Supported by Governance structure in the SET-Plan EERA is the public research pillar of the European Commission’s Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan). EERA complements the European Industrial Initiatives (EIIs) that forms the industrial pillar of the SET-plan. The EWI, one of the SET-Plan EIIs, is a long-term, large-scale Programme aiming at supporting wind power by expressing the needs of the EU wind energy industry and R&D community. The EWI was developed by TPWind in cooperation with Member States and the EC and published in 2009 The European governance vehicle is the Wind Implementation Team, composed of TPWind, EERA, EC and interested Member States. TPWind and the Wind Implementation Team have been crucial elements in the coordination among the SET Plan stakeholders. We can’t have national coordination without European coordination and vice versa!
