The European Commission just announced that it will create a new Strategy for Offshore Renewable Energy in 2020.

The Commission will set a development pathway for the sector up until 2050 and announce a series of concrete actions.

This is a great opportunity for the sector to raise its profile, excite national governments, and secure additional European support for the next 5 years.

Join us to hear about the new Strategy, and to share your views on how it can help propel ocean energy to industrial roll-out!

Following the recommendations of the Ocean Energy Forum’s Strategic Roadmap, the European Commission is launching a 2nd call for proposals to fund environmental data collection and monitoring activities around deployed wave and/or tidal energy devices. The budget for the call is €2.3m.

The European Innovation Council (EIC) is a new EU initiative, to provide direct funding to disruptive and breakthrough market-creating innovation. Ocean energy is most certainly disruptive and market-creating, so OEE wants the sector to get the maximum possible funding from EIC’s new opportunities.

There will be significant funding opportunities available – €2bn has been set aside for the EIC in 2019-2020, and a further €10bn is planned from 2021 onwards.

European Commission officials Dr. Matthijs Soede (DG RTD) and Walter Van de Velde (DG CONNECT) will present the EIC, highlight some of the upcoming calls, and take any questions the sector might have.

The European Innovation Council is a new ‘one stop shop’ for DG RTD innovation funding. It will act as an ‘umbrella’ program for various H2020 related instruments such as the SME instrument, Fast Track to Innovation or the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) instrument.
