Annex B – Selected examples of energy <strong>RTD</strong> <strong>in</strong>fo systems<br />
This annex presents an overview of 25 selected examples of <strong>Energy</strong> <strong>RTD</strong> <strong>in</strong>formation systems. It<br />
gives detailed descriptions of <strong>the</strong> 25 selected examples of energy <strong>RTD</strong> <strong>in</strong>fo systems. This annex<br />
gives <strong>in</strong>sight <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> different type of concepts and approaches that are used to disclose energy<br />
<strong>RTD</strong> through webbased <strong>in</strong>formation systems.<br />
System identifi cation and selection<br />
Identifi cation of <strong>the</strong> systems was done on <strong>the</strong> one hand by <strong>the</strong> users <strong>the</strong>mselves (<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> users’<br />
questionnaire), and on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand by websearch of <strong>the</strong> project team. Ma<strong>in</strong> criteria for selection<br />
were that <strong>the</strong> system (i) should focus on energy <strong>RTD</strong> and provide results of energy <strong>RTD</strong> and (ii)<br />
go beyond a limited energy <strong>RTD</strong> database of one isolated producer or <strong>in</strong>stitute. Also practical<br />
criteria such as country coverage, language of <strong>the</strong> system and added value to <strong>the</strong> study were<br />
used. The follow<strong>in</strong>g examples were selected:<br />
1. AT <strong>Energy</strong>tech.at<br />
2. CH ENET<br />
3. DE research portal<br />

The table hereafter presents <strong>the</strong> ma<strong>in</strong> characteristics of <strong>the</strong> 25 selected examples of <strong>Energy</strong><br />
<strong>RTD</strong> <strong>in</strong>formation systems, as assessed by <strong>the</strong> project team. Websites that were not selected for<br />
presentation <strong>in</strong> this annex but that have relevance for energy <strong>RTD</strong> or energy <strong>RTD</strong> <strong>in</strong>formation<br />
systems are listed and briefl y described <strong>in</strong> annex C of this report.<br />
