Objectives vs. Societal Challenge

NoGAP aims at developing a “Common Knowledge and Innovation Space” on societal challenge ”secure, clean and efficient energy”

Horizon 2020 Framework Programme for Research and Innovation. The energy-related technologies can be analyzed at the level of production, transport or efficient energy use.– Renewable energy for mobility– Biomass Energy– Geothermal energy– Smart grids– Wind power energy– Solar energy– Hydro power energy– Smart cities, energy efficient building– Energy efficient manufacturing– Innovative storage technologies

Objectives: bridging the gap…

…. Between research and innovation,

focusing on improving competences and

cooperation between producers and users of

knowledge

Objectives: bridging the gap…

….between the EU and Eastern Partnership Countries

Objectives

NoGAP aims at promoting the cooperation of the EU with Eastern Partnership countries

NoGAP addresses selected countries of the Eastern Partnership (EaP)– Georgia , Armenia, Azerbaijan– Ukraine, Moldova– Belarus

Specific Objectives1. Strengthening of the cooperation and knowledge transfer between public research and

industry and identifying opportunities and bottlenecks in energy sector

2. Developing Innovation Support Services to foster Innovation Partnership in energy sector

3. Improving of competencies and mutual learning in energy

4. Verification and improving of the services through implementation of pilot activities

5. Promoting networking in order to create a bridge between research, innovation and business and also to support networking between R2I-ENP projects

6. Communicating and disseminating project results in order to address a wider audience

Impact and results• Identification of challenges and options for public-private-partnerships (survey

among at least 200 stakeholders)

• Guides for researchers and innovators for legal and financial aspects of bringing R&D results to the market (development of a best practices methodology and at least 6 business plans)

• Support of the mobility of research and innovation actors and connection (twinning, matchmaking and brokerage activities)

• Information and special trainings on jointly developing innovation and bringing R&D results to the market in an international context (consultancy visits etc.)

StrategyNoGAP has an innovation support approach: strengthening the

innovation chain among the participating countries in the energy sector by:

– Better aligning research objectives to socio-economic needs in the energy sector

– Improving performance transferring and using knowledge resulting from research

– Enhancing innovation cooperation between the EU members and EaP countries.
