Hansa Energy Corridor (HEC)
European Energy Region of Excellence
• Advanced cross-border cluster collaboration in the field of energy • Growth of innovation-related activities
• Higher competitiveness of cross-border energy sector with specific emphasis on SMEs
BUT!
• Lack of critical mass
• Binding sustainable structure for cross-border cluster collaboration
• Building on synergies and opportunities for mutual learning
• Integrated research agendas BUT!
• It’s not an end in itself, it is an intermediary step towards European Region of Excellence • World-class energy hot spot
• Synergy with EU energy policy, EU regional policy and EU research agenda
• Concrete solutions for the development of cross-border energy systems
Ems Achse
European North Sea Energy Alliance
Energy Valley Rogaland Scottish regional cluster Other organisations
Key theme: Trans-national cooperation of regional
research-intensive clusters
Duration: up to 36 months
Budget: ( ca 3 M EUR)
Financing rate: up to 100 % of eligible costs
Participants: Research driven clusters from Norway,
Scotland, Germany and the Netherlands and China as a
Associated Country
Award criteria: scientific and technological excellence,
potential impact, quality and efficiency of the implementation
and management
Start project October 2012
Regions of Knowledge energy call 2012-2015: is the basis for
the next step towards a region of excellence the ENSEA
Analysis, development and
implementation of research agendas for regional or cross-border clusters
Initiatives to improve integration
Mentoring of regions with a less-developed
research profile by highly developed ones Dissemination activities
What will be
funded?
KP/7 Energy related activities / applications in on:
-ENSEA project
-North Sea Vision project -Smart Grids application
-Asset Management and Logistics wind offshore application -Storage application
-Energy Dike application -Data storage application -etc
Next steps:
- to become a recognized “European Region of Energy Excellence” based on a HEC cooperation between the EV region and Lower Saxony
- anlysis/discusion/lobby on EU applications within the “Horizon 2020” programme ,based on the ENSEA project - anlysis/discusion/lobby on EU applications within the Interreg 5B programme ,based on the Energy Vision project
