Assessment of Potential and Promotion of New Generation of Renewable Technologies ____________________________________________________________________________________________ support innovation. The Commission is tending towards funding fewer projects with bigger budgets and some suspect that this is because the Commission lacks the manpower to oversee more projects with smaller budgets. Expanding the Research Executive Agency (which does not currently have responsibility for Energy-theme projects) would be highly desirable. Such outsourcing occurs in Germany with agencies known as “Projektträger”. It would enable a greater use of contract agents, whose benefits are less than those of EC civil servants, therefore reducing the cost of administering the FP. The Commission has recognised that too much time elapses between the deadline for a call for proposals and the signing of grant agreements with winning consortia, and has made workable proposals for speeding the process up [COM 2010]. These chiefly concern a better use of IT and the creation of a Research Participant Portal, integrating, by the end of the year, “all processes of grant management as well as a system for [managing] expert evaluators”. 2.2. JTIs (Joint Technology Initiatives, formally known as Art. 171 Joint Undertakings) Europe’s five JTIs were launched in at the end of 2007 and beginning of 2008. The intention was that they should build on the work of the Technology Platforms or EUREKA projects that pre-dated them. They are “Public Private Partnerships” in the sense that a known amount of Commission money for the period of the current Financial Perspectives is matched by an equivalent in-kind contribution from industry. In the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen JTI – the one with the most obvious connection to the energy field – a Governing Board in the JTI adopts a call for proposals each year describing the topics that are open in the call and the amount of money to make available to each one. The Commission has a veto over how its money is spent. A secretariat manages the JTI, employing project officers to oversee its projects, with half the costs covered by the industry members. Questions remain on the added-value of this new structure. Involving industry in the selection of appropriate topics for the work programme could have been achieved by the Commission formally consulting a delegation of industry representatives as it formulates its annual Work Programme. Constrained by the EC’s Financial Regulation, there has not been any possibility to consider or implement new funding mechanisms in the JU’s calls for proposals. The Calls are published on CORDIS, open to all, and the recruitment procedures for the secretariat’s staff have to run by the relatively inflexible terms of the Staff Regulation. Finally, the existence of the legal entity into which the Commission pays its contribution, “FCH JU”, is only assured to the end of 2017. A feature of JTIs is that the industry’s strong role tends to focus their mission on product- development rather than on fundamental research further up the innovation stream. Furthermore, the financial terms offered to research centres have been made less interesting compared to those that applied under FP6, making it harder for them to participate (total funding rates of 50% instead of closer to 75%). The combined effect of JTIs is to constrict the upstream end of the innovation pipeline in the technologies where they are used.
