The 2008 Call for Proposals for Energy (FP7-ENERGY-2008-TREN-1) under the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7) was published on 29 April 2008. In order to support the preparation of proposals, the Directorate General for Energy and Transport (DG TREN) of the European Commission held an Information Day on 20 June 2008 in Brussels.
The aim of this event was to disseminate information about FP7 and the research areas open in the 2008 Call for Proposals on Energy within the Cooperation Programme, to give details about the main legal and procedural conditions, and to answer any questions.
Further information about FP7 information days can be found on the

Electricity generation from ocean currents, waves, salinity gradients, tidal stream systems and ocean thermal energy conversion will benefit from further cost reductions through technological improvements in new components and system designs, leading to higher efficiencies and lower operator and maintenance requirements. Estimated current cost of electricity generation from the first-generation prototype plants are of the order of 0.08-0.20 Euro/kWh. Demonstration of ocean energy technologies should mainly address their intrinsic technical and financial risks. Among them the proving of the energy conversion potentials and the technical problems associated to the site's harsh environment. The large scale success of ocean energy needs demonstration at full scale of reliable, efficient and cost-effective systems with a view to commercial exploitation.
