The ECARE project proudly announces the publication of its radical booklet, ECARE's Synergy Handbook for Decarbonized European Aviation. This comprehensive guide is designed to support stakeholders in fostering collaboration and innovation to advance aviation's decarbonization. It reflects the two years of research and practical implementation of the ECARE project with the support of the Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking.
The handbook introduces the ECARE synergy model, a strategic framework for aligning regional, national, and European funding to accelerate technological innovation. This guide is structured around a six-phase pathway, offering a roadmap to create impactful partnerships, harmonize funding processes, and ensure resource efficiency. Key features include:
- The ECARE Pathway to Synergy: A six-phase process that outlines steps from ecosystem evaluation to project emergence and long-term funding mechanisms.
- Digital Tools for Collaboration: The ECARE Digital Platform and Taxonomy enable stakeholders to access funding opportunities, align roadmaps, and foster collaboration through an innovative digital interface.
- Case Studies and Best Practices: Examples from regions like Hamburg, Campania, and Occitanie highlight successful applications of synergy principles.
The aviation sector is at the forefront of climate challenges, and ECARE's handbook provides practical tools for achieving a decarbonized future. By fostering collaboration across funding bodies, regions, and industries, the guide ensures:
- Reduced duplication of effort.
- Enhanced efficiency in public and private investments.
- Alignment with Clean Aviation's Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA).
Even after ECARE concludes, its resources—such as the Digital Platform and Taxonomy and this comprehensive Synergy Handbook —will remain valuable tools for the stakeholders to benefit from. These resources provide a lasting framework for connecting funding bodies and industry leaders, ensuring the transition to sustainable aviation.
Stakeholders are invited to explore the handbook and leverage its resources to create a cohesive, sustainable aviation ecosystem across Europe.
