WP1 - Mapping and Assessment
Task 1.1: Preliminary Analysis
Mapping refers to: (a) European ERA-Net Co-funding schemes and other P2P networks; (b) European Programmes relating to CH/CCS in the frame of Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe; and (c) R&I programmes and priorities relating to CH/CCS in MSs/ACs. One aim of the preliminary analysis is to define the typology of initiatives / programmes to be examined in each category, in a way to facilitate the identification of initiatives / projects for the subsequent steps of WP1. Another aim is to define in detail the base line of strategic priorities and criteria to be used for the assessment, as described in section 2.1, by examining the European action plans in the previous (2014 – 2020) and current (2021 – 2027) programming period and the JPI CH SRIA 2020. For this Task, partners will be supported by a seconded personnel from ENEA (Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Development) with long and qualified experience in coordinating and managing EU projects and in EU Co-funded schemes.
Task 1.2: Preparation of the investigation
The investigation will be based on responses to questionnaires and structured interviews. The preparatory work in this task comprises preparing the questionnaires and the interview strategies and question lines, as well as the development of lists of organisations / persons to contact in each mapping category.
Task 1.3: Investigation – initiatives in partnership networks
The investigation will look at the European ERA-Net Co-funding schemes and other P2P networks / projects identified in Task 1.1. The main information sources are authorities in charge of programming and implementation, as well as coordinators / stakeholders that can inform about the outcomes. Questionnaire & interviews examine implementation effectiveness, impacts, missed opportunities and gaps.
Task 1.4: Investigation – EU priorities
The investigation for European CH R&I examines the rationale behind priority-setting, as well as the degree to which identified needs are covered, based on desk research and interactions with programme managers and stakeholders using findings in Tasks 1.1 and 1.2.
Task 1.5: Investigation – CH programmes in MSs/ACs
The investigation will aim at identifying R&I programmes in the MSs/ACs that have potential for joint action at EU level using the criteria defined in Task 1.1. For such initiatives, the analysis will provide evidence on the needs to be covered, their (potential) European added value and indications of their effectiveness (list of topics in section 1.2). The interviews with national policy makers will examine the pros and cons and commitments for joint European against national/regional action.
Task 1.6: Assessment and Recommendations
The assessment will be conducted by comparing the priorities of the examined initiatives to the base line of strategic priorities developed in Task 1.1 (approach presented in section 1.2). Recommendations will be developed for: (a)Positive aspects, including good practices and lessons learned from the ERANet Co-funding schemes to consider in the ARCHE SRIA; (b) The priorities to be considered for developing the ARCHE SRIA; (c) The policy scenarios for future EU-level interventions. As for Task 1.1, partners will be supported in this Task by ENEA detached personnel
