<strong>Energy</strong> <strong>RTD</strong> <strong>Information</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>ERA</strong><br />

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 />

4. DK DEA website<br />

5. EU Atlas<br />

6. EU CORDIS<br />

7. EU EIE<br />

8. EU Espacenet<br />

9. EU Managenergy<br />

10. EU OPET Network<br />

11. FR IFP publication database<br />

12. INT Enersearch<br />

13. INT IEA / OECD Caddet<br />

14. INT IEA / OECD Greentie<br />

15. INT IEA ETDEWEB<br />

16. INT IEA Implement<strong>in</strong>g Agreements<br />

17. INT IEA <strong>Information</strong> Centre<br />

18. INT Scirus<br />

19. INT WIRE<br />

20. IT CESI RdS database<br />

21. NL NOVEM website<br />

22. REG Nordic <strong>Energy</strong> Index<br />

23. REG Nordic <strong>Energy</strong> Research<br />

24. UK EPRSC database<br />

25. US DOE EERE website<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 />
