Detailed Call Description
Covering all of the following points proposals are expected to:
- Provide support to the goals of the net zero Europe Platform related to net zero regulatory sandboxes and to reach out to stakeholders involved in net zero regulatory sandboxes across Member States (including assigned contact points, competent authorities, potential participating entities, including SMEs and start-ups, social partners, consumers and other stakeholders). They should support exchanging best practices, lessons learnt and enhancing cooperation between Member States, as well as the coordination with other similar initiatives.
- Prepare comparative analyses and assessments of the national legislative frameworks for net zero regulatory sandboxes and other regulatory sandboxes relevant for innovative net zero technologies in line with the Regulation on strengthening Europe’s net-zero technology manufacturing ecosystem:
- on regulatory barriers for innovative net zero technologies;
- on national net-zero regulatory sandbox schemes (including application procedures);
- on concrete trials;
- on impacts and regulatory learning;
- on lessons learnt
- and explore other forms of regulatory experimentation for net zero technologies in the energy sector.
- Create and regularly update a publicly available free repository on regulatory sandbox schemes and concrete projects for net zero technologies in the Union.
Proposals actively include the contribution of national and regional authorities, companies (industry and SMEs), social partners, research and civil society organisations, consumers’ and users’ associations, universities and European associations representing relevant sectors and any other stakeholders related to net zero regulatory sandboxes. To maximise their impact and widen participation, they are encouraged to develop and implement robust outreach approaches and societal engagement actions to span across the EU.
Furthermore, the proposals should develop a dissemination and exploitation strategy and implement dissemination and networking activities.
The project is expected to contribute to the Commission’s reporting on the results of the implementation of net-zero regulatory sandboxes (including good practices, lessons learnt and recommendations on their setup and, on the application, within the net-zero regulatory sandbox of Union law in a manner adapted for the purposes of the net-zero regulatory sandbox).
