BIGH2 project overview

Future plans:- All partners would like to continue

the work on fuel flexible gas turbine combustion.

- Both funding agencies have signalized to fund such a project again.

- Project will end June 2014

- Unique results, because of the successful combination of the different fields of excellence

SINTEF Energy Research

• European competitiveness• Solve common challenges• Align resources - scientific excellence distributed over Europe• Infrastructure (ECCSEL)- Access to world-class R&D• International collaboration• Instruments – EU/MS/Berlin models etc.• SET Plan Integrated Roadmap • ERANETs and other Co-funds coming up

European perspective

SINTEF Energy Research

• Less administrative work than EU funded projects• Size of consortium flexible• Consortium agreement• Align national celandars - contract and formalities• Personal contacts important

• Friendly and demanding atmosphere – at the same time

• Innovation for industry partner/Europe at the core• Use national contact points• Ministries, funding agencies to meet, communicate, align

Our strong, common believe in scientific excellence and

European collaboration
