Organisational framework The strategy is to be based on extensive co-operation between the technology researchers and developers, the parties funding the projects,industry, the education system and society at large and thus build on the existing co-operation about the formulation of the strategy, cf. Appendix 1. This would ensure a highly competent, cross-disciplinary and cross-institutional implementation of the R&D efforts. The figure below shows a proposed structure for the implementation of a national strategy for research, development and demonstration of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies.

Organisational framework. Such a framework would match the organisation that is likely to be used as a core tool in the development of a research forum within Europe 13 . This organisation is a continuation of the process used to implement the R&D strategy for fuel cells and will go hand in hand with the proposal presented by the Danish Council for 13 http://www.cordis.lu/technology-platforms/ 25
Strategic Research for Innovation Accelerating Research Platforms and Centres for Strategic Research 14 . The organisation is based on the experience and results achieved through the strategy process itself that involved a dialogue about future focus areas between various interested parties from research, private companies and authorities. The organisation therefore guarantees that action will follow words in the implementation phase. The organisation consists of the following components with the technology platform as the main forum for dialogue and innovation: • A group of sponsors to coordinate the processing of postings and applications in the hydrogen and fuel cell technology fields • A secretariat to assist the sponsors, the hydrogen and fuel cell platform and the follow-up groups ensuring active and professional communication and dissemination of information about hydrogen-related subjects to people within the industry and to society at large. One year’s full-time equivalent workload per year is deemed sufficient at this stage. • International co-operation with the European Technology Platform for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells, Nordic Energy Research, North America, IPHE, IEA, etc. • A hydrogen and fuel cell technology platform and forum for dialogue consisting of the five follow-up groups with the participation of representatives from research, industry and sponsors. The individual follow-up groups comprise key players (industry, research institutions and authorities) responsible for group-related activities. The task of these groups is to provide an overview of and define goals for each project area and to discuss and assess the extent to which the R&D development contributes to meeting the defined goals for the technical development (forum for dialogue). • A number of demonstration and development environments for the demonstration and development of production, storage and use of hydrogen and fuel cells in the transport sector and for stationary and portable applications. These development environments include the two existing environments dealing with SOFC and PEM fuel cells. These environments can comprise several large R&D projects representing at least DKK 10–30 million per year and easily in excess of DKK 100 million per project. Such an organisational framework makes it possible to carry out the following tasks: • to monitor the implementation of the strategy and adjust it, if necessary; • to assess the needs for funds and coordinate financing; 14 The Danish Council for Strategic Research: ”Research that counts”.
