Energie Helpline UK
The Energie Helpline UK is a free, Government-funded service that promotes the EU energy funding programmes in the UK and provides support to organisations bidding for European funding.
EU funding for energy projects
Framework Programme 7 (FP7), the EU's funding programme for research and technological development, has a budget of 2.35B€ for energy projects between 2007 and 2013.
Intelligent Energy Europe (IEE) is the EU's tool for funding action to improve market conditions and move us towards a more energy intelligent Europe. The Programme has a budget of 727M€ between 2007 and 2013.
The overall objectives of the programmes are fundamentally different, with FP7 looking to fund projects that conduct research and demonstration into innovative technologies and IEE funding projects that remove the barriers to the market uptake of these technologies. FP7 and IEE both contribute towards the achievement of EU policy in relation to the rational use of energy and the increased use of renewable energy sources.
How can I get assistance?
Contact us by telephone - Our free helpline will help with your queries on FP7 or IEE including discussing whether your proposal would be eligible, the rules for participation and how to apply. We aim to answer your query directly and quickly, or find someone who can and we will direct you to the relevant EU documentation. The Helpline 0161 874 3636 is open from 9am until 5.30pm Monday to Friday.
Send us an email - We can also answer written queries sent to energie@enviros.com.
Attend a proposal clinic - We provide feedback on your proposals and ideas and make suggestions on how to put together the best possible bid.
Putting you in touch with the Commission - We can send you the contact details for the relevant Scientific Officer, who will be able to help answer your technical queries.
This website provides an overview of both programmes with links to more detailed information that is available on other websites. Please follow the links at the top of the page to the most appropriate funding programme for you.
