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

In spite of the perception that hydropower is a mature technology, there are still technological challenges which should be addressed in order to develop further the technology and to exploit the remaining potential, composed mainly of low-head and very-low-head sites.
The main objective is to further improve the energy and cost-efficiency of hydropower plants, in particular smaller systems, while minimising the adverse environmental impact. There is a need for demonstration of innovative systems, equipment and design practices which could be at the same time economically and environmentally efficient. They should be easily customised for a site-specific use. The systems should improve the reliability and efficiency with guaranteed performance. Innovative solutions which can maximise the energy production of existing plants should also be developed and demonstrated.
