Since 2008, the EU implements the Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) with the aim to 1) accelerate energy technology development, technology transfer and up-take; 2) maintain EU industrial leadership on low-carbon energy technologies; 3) foster science for transforming energy technologies to achieve the 2020 energy and climate goals; and 4) contribute to the worldwide transition to a low-carbon economy (COM(2007)723 final; COM(2009)519 final). The implementation of the SET-Plan has led to the establishment of large scale programs, called European Industrial Initiatives (EIIs), which bring together industry, the research community, the Member States and the European Commission in risk-sharing partnerships aiming at the rapid development of key energy technologies at the European level. Six technologies have already been identified as the focal points of the first EIIs (SEC(2009)1295): wind, solar (photovoltaics and concentrated solar power), electricity grids, bioenergy, carbon capture and storage, Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking and nuclear fission. The Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking is also considered as part of the SET-Plan. It has been one of the first Joint Technology Initiatives (JTI) of the European Commission, established before the formation of the SET-Plan and its EIIs. Having as goal the elaboration of strategic and permanent collaborations between major research organisations and institutes in the field of energy technology research European Energy Research Alliance (EERA) and its Joint programs (JP) have been set in place since 2009.

EERA JPs seek to provide a better coordination of funding with respect to 13 technologies1-2. SETIS is the European Commission’s Information System for the SETPlan, and it makes the case for technology options and priorities, monitors, reviews progress regarding implementation, assesses the impact on policy and identifies corrective measures if needed3.
