Introduction: EU budget 2014-2020
ca. 20% of the 960 thousand million EUR will be spent
on actions related to Climate Change
 192.000.000.000 EUR

“Menu” of EU funds
Essentially, there are 3 kinds of funds:
1. European Structural and Investment Funds (ESI Funds)
2. Thematic Programmes and Initiatives
3. Funds for third parties (bulk of the action otside the EU)
The above are deployed mainly via grants allocated upon
(competitive) calls for proposals, including grants for both
specific actions or for key actors operation.

“Menu” of EU funds
Additionally, EU institutions commission public contracts via
tenders (goods, works or services)
Finally, there are EU financing mechanisms including loans,
venture capital, seed capital or specific support funds, normally
via an intermediary (banking) organisation.
Another characterisation is by their management scheme:
• directly by the European Commission, (competent DG or
associated agency (e.g. EASME, ex EACI, ex IEEA…)
 case of HORIZON2020, or LIFE
• shared management by delegation to the Member States,
that in turn delegate to national or regional administration
 case of ELENA (or any other ESI)

Preliminary considerations: pros & cons
 Be aware of our own capacities:
 Knowledge, Expertise
 A minimum of own financial resources
 Have a clear idea of what we want to do (Logical
Framework planning):
 Objectives and expected results (quantified, scheduled)
 Concrete actions
 Select an adequate funding type
 Do we need partners? Do we have (good) partners?
 European added value, Sustainability, Impact…

Specific instruments: ESI
European Regional Development
Funds (ERDF)
Co-funding depending on regional
allocation and eligibility of each
region (dev. – transition – less
developed)
E.g. Operational Programme 2014-2020
Priority 2.4: More efficient use of natural
resources. Including:
Energy efficiency improvement
Increase of renewable energy use

Specific instruments: ESI
ERDF - Special instruments with EIB financing:
• ELENA European Local Energy Assistance.
Covers up to 90% preparation costs of an investment programme over
a 3 year period. Minimum leverage factor of 20 over the received funds.
Aimed at facilitating tendering for ESCO contracting.
5 programmes in Spain, ER-DIBA pioneer since 2010
• JESSICA Joint European Support for Sustainable
Investment in City Areas.
“Soft” financing for works and services to be supplied by ESCOs.
In Spain, managed by IDAE and BBVA (current period till April 2015) .
Catalonia not eligible.

Specific instruments: HORIZON 2020
•
Integration of R+D, innovation, competitiveness in a single programme
•
3 pillars: Excellent Science; Industrial leadership; Societal Challenges
•
Societal Challenge area Secure, clean & efficient energy
•
Focus on challenges, topics more open (not as defined as in FP7)
•
Integration of cross cutting issues (consumers participation,
international cooperation, SMEs...)
•
Consideration of the whole innovation cycle (use of TRLs). Impact !!
•
Administrative effort simplification:
 3 types of projects (RIA100%; IA 70%; CSA 100%)

Specific instruments: LIFE (Env., ClimA)
 Environment sub programme, including the priorities:
• Waste management
• Resource efficiency, incl. land and forests “green and circular
economy”
 The 2014-2017 period will still have national quotas.
2018 - 2020 will be totally competitive.
 Grants to specific projects (from 55% to 100%,
depending on the kind of project) and a small part of the
funds is kept for tenders and other expenditures.
 Open call for proposals till 15th October (!)

Smart City
A developed urban area that creates sustainable economic
development and high quality of life by excelling in multiple key
areas; economy, mobility, environment, people, living, and government.
Excelling in these key areas can be done so through strong human
capital, social capital, and/or ICT infrastructure.

Key factors (in our opinion)

In any EU funding scheme:

Small print of grants
 % cofunding (per cost category and type of activity)
 Good identification of final beneficiaries and real motivation of each
stakeholder (EC is not a client, performance evaluation will be external)

Role, capacity and experience of the General Coordinator
(adminstrative and financial management, problems that will arise,
inter partners, between partners and the EC, fluency in English... )

Ultra competitive market, there are true specialists in proposals
preparation, continuous lobbying in Brussels and EC Delegations

Uneven competition

In some countries there are national complementing funds
 Proactivity levels and expertise of promotion officers from certain
countries, regions or even local administrations (both in Brussels and at
home)
