Era bioenergy strategy – short term measures to develop the european research area for bioenergy rtd. Contract No. ENK5 – CT-2001-80526

To reach the goals set by the “White Paper” and the “Kyoto Protocol” bio energy RTD will have to be enhanced significantly. The introduction of the European Research Area (ERA) will support this.
An Accompanying Measure on actions necessary for the implementation of ERA in the field of bio energy RTD should be carried out with the objectives:

• to develop strategies for measures to promote coordination between EU and the member states in the area of bio energy RTD policies and programmes, and
• to identify opportunities for short-term actions leading to the ERA for bio energy RTD.

The project consists of these tasks:

• A “Country survey”: Survey of national and EU RTD policies and programmes.
• B “Bio energy policies and programmes mapping”.
