About

This event brings together public funding partners from around the world to discuss opportunities for multilateral collaboration. It highlights opportunities to close gaps in the innovation chain by connecting different networks and initiatives on a joint programming platform. A public-public-private partnership format will be illustrated, enabling the initiation and joint funding of applied, collaborative R&D projects. The workshop prepares the pathway for the first Mission Innovation multilateral call MICall19, which will be launched in September 2019. Furthermore, it provides first matchmaking possibilities among researchers and companies in cooperation with the MI Innovation Challenges.

Further information

The event brings together representatives of interested MI countries and their funding institutions in order to join the core group that has started to prepare for the first Mission Innovation multilateral call for R&D Projects (MICall19).

This event will give a deep-dive insight in an innovative multilateral collaborative funding mechanism that can facilitate global cooperation in R&D projects. It will announce the initiative Pilot Multilateral Call for cooperative RDI Projects (research and industry), which is a multilateral format for Public-public-private partnership for funding of R&D projects. It will pilot a first global Mission Innovation call for collaborative RDI projects including a process how to initiate, jointly finance and monitor these projects. It will also introduce a model how to form an active knowledge community of families of projects, together with associated partners from regional business clusters, need owners and technology adopters. With the associated partner model, the platform has also started to develop a mechanism to involve additional funds and financers in order to help closing the gap from RTD towards market introduction. Using the established structures, procedures and resources of the Joint Programming Platform Smart Energy Systems (JPP SES), it will be possible to launch the call in autumn 2019 and to present a first set of jointly financed MI projects in Spring 2020 (MI#5). Furthermore, this workshop will be a first matchmaking opportunity for MI-IC participants and stakeholders from industry and research, representatives of interested MI countries and their funding institutions.

The event will be a first matchmaking opportunity for participants in the MI Innovation Challenges and other stakeholders from industry and research, in order to start creating ideas for multilateral projects

The event will include a co-creation session with the Mission Innovation Challenges. It will further invite representatives of need owners as communities, infrastructure operators and others, in order to help define the needs and requirements for future energy technology from a user perspective in preparation of the multilateral call. This event and the initiative for the pilot multilateral call in 2019 intend to create a learning environment to gain experiences on which further MI development and decisions can be based. The vision of the initiative is to be able to present a prototype for a multilateral funding collaboration mechanism in Mission Innovation at MI#5 in Chile.

The Joint Programming Platform Smart Energy Systems (JPP SES) started in 2014, based on former experiences from the European network "ERA-Net Smart Grids”, in order to establish a sustainable multilateral collaboration platform for public funding programs. Starting with a group of European Countries, its original intention was to reach out its activities beyond Europe at some point. Mission Innovation is an ideal environment to take this next step in order to develop a global collaboration platform for public funders. MICall19 is an opportunity for Mission Innovation countries to jump on an ongoing activity for quick success and gaining collective experience and learnings. www.eranet-smartenergysystems.eu
