CLEAN SKY JTI: FLYING SOLO CLEAN SKY JTI: FLYING SOLO Brussels, 19th November 2009 Today, the Clean Sky Joint Undertaking has been granted administrative and operational autonomy from the European Commission. The Joint Undertaking is now on track to fulfil its ambitious programme for greening aeronautics. The autonomy granted today to the Clean Sky Joint Undertaking by the European Commission enables it to implement its own budget and execute its own work plan. "This is a decisive step in the Clean Sky programme", states Marc Ventre, Chairman of the Governing Board. "Our Joint Undertaking, which is a mix of public and private cultures, is more than ever committed to performing efficient programme coordination and to reaching our environmental targets". The Joint Undertaking manages the Clean Sky Joint Technology Initiative (JTI) that will develop breakthrough technologies to significantly improve the impact of the air transport on the environment. Since the official date of set-up of the Clean Sky JTI in February 2008*, operation of the Clean Sky JU during this interim period was carried out by the European Commission. Janez Potocnik, European Commissioner for Science and Research stated: " Today, the Clean Sky Joint Technology Initiative leaves the nest. As one of the parents, the Commission is proud to let it fly solo. Clean Sky is one of the five public-private partnership for research we hatched two years ago in areas of promising technologies. I am confident Clean Sky will help Europe to keep EU research on clean technologies in the lead and to move towards a competitive "green" economy. The JTIs will set the example for many more public private partnerships at European level ". The JU team intends to fulfil an ambitious work programme. "The preliminary studies of the system-level demonstrators are well on track", says Eric Dautriat, Executive Director. The year 2010 will see a steep increase in the workload and budget for all projects. The JU will ensure their consistency and keep the focus on strongly reducing carbon emissions and noise". By the end of this year, Eric Dautriat intends to have the contracts with the selected candidates from the first call for proposals finalised and signed. A second call for proposals will be announced in the meantime on the Clean Sky website. Subsequent calls will be published at a rate of around four per year. * Council Regulation (EC) 71/2008 of 20th December 2007 setting-up the Clean Sky Joint Undertaking.
