The Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETPartnership) is a multilateral and strategic partnership of national and regional RDI programmes in European Member States and Associated Countries with the aim to contribute to the implementation of the SET Plan. The CETPartnership addresses the challenge of clean energy transition through coordinating national and regional research, development and innovation strategies, programmes, activities and stakeholders. Initiated under the 10th European EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation Horizon Europe (2021-2027), it also brings together the European Commission and public partners, addressing some of Europe’s most pressing challenges and contributing to reduce the fragmentation of the research and innovation landscape in the EU. There is agreement among all interested CETPartnership countries that the CETPartnership shall foster challenge driven research, development and innovation that stimulate transition and amplify the cooperation of research with “problem owners“ or “need owners” (potential buyers, procurers and users of solutions). This transformative approach in RDI is mirrored in the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) for the CETPartnership in the objectives and expected impacts of the CETPartnership the process to develop the SRIA as well as the RDI challenges to be addressed. By its highly transformative ambition the CETP delivers to the EU climate ambition and the new European Research Area as higher level policy goals and builds interfaces on European and international level.
