The NICP Network

Main goal of the Horizon 2020

Energy NICP is to strengthen

the participation of industries,

research centres, universities

and SMEs in energy oriented

Research Development and

Innovation Horizon 2020

Programmes and enhance the

collaborations between different

stakeholders.

What can Horizon NICP

Energy do for you?

• Improve your knowledge on

funding opportunities for

research development and

innovation

• Inform about energy calls for

proposals and topics

• Support during proposal

development

• Connect you to potential

partners

• Advise on how to promote your

research/technological profile

H2020 Application and

Engagement process

Horizon 2020 – Setting the Energy Context

Competitive Low Carbon Energy - LCE

Smart Grid – Renewable Electricity

(Wind, Ocean, PV, CSP, RHC, Hydro,

GE) – Storage – BioFuels – CCS –

Fossil Fuels

Energy Efficiency - EE

Buildings and Consumers (Renovation,

Demand Response, ICT) - District

Heating & Cooling - Industry and

Products - Finance

Smart Cities and Communities -SCC

SME Instrument – Stimulating

innovation potential for a low carbon

energy efficient system

Energy Efficient Buildings - EeB

Marie Cure Actions - MSCA

5 Key Questions

1. What problem are you trying to solve? (Why bother?)

2. Is it a European priority? (Could it be solved at national level?)

3. Is the solution already available? (Product, service, technology

transfer)

4. Why now? (What would happen if this research was not

completed now?) (Killer Question!)

5. Why you? (Do you have the best consortium to do this work?)

Horizon 2020 – NI Success Stories

McL&H partner in Minesto Deep Green project

Funded in part under H2020 KIC InnoEnergy. Building upon the successful quarterscale Minesto power plant deployment that was carried out in Strangford Lough inNorthern Ireland in 2013, McLaughlin & Harvey has proven their capability as apartner through successfully delivering projects in challenging environments to helpsupport the commercialisation of tidal and wave energy devices. This proactiveapproach to novel practical solutions has convinced Minesto to utilise the experienceMcLaughlin & Harvey Ltd have.
