Call for Proposals - Smart Cities and Communities FP7-ENERGY-SMARTCITIES-2012 Closed!
Objectives
Reflecting the high priority of energy efficiency in the European energy and climate policy, the profile of energy efficiency research has been strengthened in this work programme. Adopting a challenge driven approach, a new area on 'Smart Cities and Communities' has been created within Activity 8 ('Energy Efficiency and Savings'). Topics under this area address the challenge of smart cities and communities in a holistic way that cuts across many technology areas. Close cooperation with other FP7 Themes and Programmes that also support research on this horizontal issue will be continued.
The initiative encompasses a broad range of energy related topics such as energy efficiency, energy networks and renewable energy production as well as other urban issues in the area of for electricity, heating and cooling, transport, waste and water management. The topics under this theme are focused on the energy dimension, including the topic from the Energy-efficient Buildings (EeB) Public Private Partnership.
