Formalised under the structure of an institutionalised public-private partnership which ensures that research activities of the aviation industry are aligned with the European Union’s policy priorities, the Clean Aviation JU's programme focuses on three main areas:
These three main areas of research and development are further discussed in the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA).
The Clean Aviation JU has various operational objectives compared to 2020 state-of-the-art aircraft:
Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking builds on its predecessor, the Clean Sky 2 JU programme. The latter will continue to run until 2024. Clean Sky 2 JU will have delivered more than 140 demonstrators (of which 34 flagship demonstrators) contributing to the flagship demonstrators, and more than 1000 technologies by the end of the programme.
As an institutionalised partnership, the Clean Aviation JU does not publish the call for proposals in the regular Horizon Europe work programmes. Rather, Clean Aviation publishes their own work programmes.
Partnerships group the EC and private and/or public partners, to coordinate and streamline the research & innovation initiatives and funding in some selected key domains.
The Department of Economy, Science and Innovation of the Flemish government coordinates the Horizon 2020 Coordination and Support Action SAPHIRe, which started on 1 December 2018. The aim of the project is to secure the adoption of personalised medicine in all European regions, including sparsely populated and remote regions and regions with different innovation capacities.
The activities of SAPHIRe are complementary to the smart specialisation partnership on personalised medicine – S3P4PM, which is also coordinated by the Department of Economy, Science and Innovation.
