Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETP)

The Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETP) is a multilateral and strategic partnership of national and regional RDI programmes in European Member States and Associated Countries with the aim to contribute substantially to the implementation of the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan). It delivers to higher level European policy goals towards Stepping up EU 2030 Climate Ambitions and the New European Research Area with the ultimate objective to achieve a climate-neutral society by 2050.
It also addresses the strategies outlined in latest EC communications like A Clean Planet for all and the European Green Deal. It is ramping up as quickly as possible, building on exiting SET Plan initiatives (ERA-Nets, IWGs, ETIPs, etc.), in order to create synergies with the National Energy and Climate Plans and with the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF).
The published Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) is the keystone for the implementation of the CETP. It serves as a guidance and “compass” for the multilateral collaboration in Europe and beyond for the next 10 years. The national and regional RDI programme owners and managers constituting the partnership share a common vision and objectives, which frame the CETP’s transformative research, development and innovation programme. The SRIA reflects their coordinated and harmonised view as well as their high expectations to the impact of the RDI activities resulting from its implementation. To deliver highly transformative outcomes, it follows a challenge-driven and transdisciplinary approach.
