General information and objectives
The program consists of three sub-priorities:Sustainable Energy Systems
The strategic and policy objectives of this programme of research into sustainable energy systems include reducing greenhouse gases and pollutant emissions (Kyoto), increasing the security of energy supplies, improving energy efficiency and increasing the use of renewable energy, as well as enhancing the competitiveness of European industry and improving quality of life both within the EU and globally (Johannesburg follow-up).
Sustainable Surface Transport
- New technologies and concepts for all surface transport modes (road, rail, waterborne)
- Advanced design and production techniques
- Rebalancing and integrating different transport modes
- Increasing road, rail and waterborne safety and avoiding traffic congestion
Global Change and Ecosystems
To strengthen the capacity to understand, detect and forecast global change and develop strategies for prevention, mitigation and adaptation, in close liaison with the relevant international research programmes and in the context of relevant conventions;
To preserve ecosystems and protect biodiversity which would also contribute to the sustainable use of land and marine resources. With regard to global change, the strategies for integrated, sustainable management of agricultural and forest ecosystems are of particular importance for the preservation of these ecosystems and will contribute substantially to the sustainable development of Europe.
