Overview
German framework programme 1997 Green technology in sec. 423
integrated environmental protection in industry, agriculture, forestry and the framework elements of an innovative sustainable economy
identifying of topics and attracting actors the overwhelming success wild theses for discussion
Karl Ulrich Voss 3
BMBF/BMU Programme 1997
Framework Programme: Research for the Environment
– Main Objectives:• Achieve sustainable local and global use of natural resources
by a better understanding of natural systems• Increase resource efficiency of economic activities, incl.
consumption pattern• integrate the environment into the education system
– Main Areas• local and global organization of the environment• sustainability oriented management• environmental education

Budget 2002
68,5 M Euro totally 31,5 M Euro for integrated environmental
protection in special branches of industry 13 M Euro agriculture and food-processing 10 M Euro sustainable wood/forestry technology,
wood research, ecosystem research rel. to forestry
5,5 M Euro general topics (e.g. environmental management in industry)
Karl Ulrich Voss 7
Food processing
03.06.1998Integrated environmental protection in food processing
Goals: reducing undesirable substances, reducing water consumption and pollution, reducing waste, optimizing package, reducing energy consumption, esp. in food drying facilities
Timespan: 2000-200342 appl. / 11 M Eurobow wave: 3 appl. / 0,6 M Euro
Karl Ulrich Voss 8
Textile industry
06.10.1998Integrated environmental protection in the textile industry
Goals: reducing environmental impacts by avoidance, reduction and substitution of assisting materials and recovery of process substances, reducing of water consumption and pollution, developing of recyclable textile, assessing and expanding of life cycle; specific textiles for environmental technologies reducing waste
Timespan: 1999-2001104 appl. / 39 M Eurobow wave for special branch „Textiles in medicine“47 appl. / 7,1 M Euro
Karl Ulrich Voss 9
Ceramics
13.8.1999Integrated environmental protection in the ceramics industry
Goals: reducing / avoidance of organic-chemical emissions in the burning process and process water; avoidance of emissions of fluorine, chlorine, sulphur dioxide; energy saving; circulatory processing of water, recovery of product remains and product waste
Timespan: 2000 - 200537 appl. / 28 M Euro(no bow wave)
Karl Ulrich Voss 10
Agrarian technology
10.11.1999Integrated environmental protection in agriculture
Goals:development / test of sensors for precision farming; development of soil protective drive technology and sensors to assist; automatisation with the aim of more effective and environmental friendly cultivation; sensors for animal husbandry and herd management; improvement of barn climate and outgoing air; storage and processing of agricultural goods; sensors
Timespan: 2000 - 200537 appl. / 28 M Euro(no bow wave)
Karl Ulrich Voss 11
Management instruments
16.11.1999Integrated environmental protection - management instruments
Goals: IT-instruments for a sustainable industry; monetary and non-monetary controlling instruments; planning/communication instruments accompanying the chain of products and production and on the different organisational levels as construction, work planning, production planning, finance
Timespan: 2000 - 200419 appl. / 15,4 M Eurobow wave: 5 appl. / 1,5 M Euro

20.12.1999Framework conditions for sustainable management12 / 4,5 M; bow wave: 1 M
22.12.1999Integrated environmental protection - foundries42 / 7,5 M
Karl Ulrich Voss 13
until it came to an end:
04.05.2000Integrated environmental protection - metal producing industry65 / 19,7 M; bow wave: 41 / 13,8 M
07.06.2000Strategies for product useonly bow wave: 10 / 4,3 M
29.06.2000Integrated environmental protection - packaging industry123 / 35,8 M; bow wave: 120 / 35 M

From programme design to funding
framework programme (BMBF/BMU) cooperation/coordination with industry, associations, research institutions, administration/politics
Design of the call for tenders– dialogue with research and industry
„Where is the actual edge of development?“– Expert tables with researchers and
representatives of industry„Are the specific questions appropriate and complete? Are the demands being met?“
Karl Ulrich Voss 15
From programme design to funding (2)
Formulation and publishing of the calls with the request for abridged project sketches (6 pages)
Sketches shall show:– innovative approach– integrating SME (no project without industrial
partner!)– project and project idea are economically stable
(incl. cost-benefit-calculation)– project idea contributes a positive economic effect
in the business field
Karl Ulrich Voss 16
From programme design to funding (3)
Experts recruited from the expert tables (sketch worth to be completed?)
Monitoring in the run of the project– goals/components met/fulfilled?– new: exploitation plan („drawer projects“)
Karl Ulrich Voss 17
No problem?
„pig cycle“ – complaints over „commonly known suspects“– massive calls for tenders– „Minderabfluss“ or money not spent– frustration with those, whose creativity is needed
discriminating SME?– length and complexity of funding procedure– costs
Karl Ulrich Voss 18
No problem? (2)
patents – public funding - private results?– conflicting goals as to dissemination– privacy decisive in project administration– patents (F) may hamper standards being adjusted
to the state of art (D)
Karl Ulrich Voss 19
Theses
- In sustainability concepts we have to
accept and clearly adress conflicting
goals in respect of sustainability and
important and well established interests
in the society/economy.
Karl Ulrich Voss 20
Theses (2)
- Only if sustainability pays to the actors
(producers, distributers, consumers) it
pays for you. This includes a
progressive and demanding definition
of standards of technology.
Karl Ulrich Voss 21
Theses (3)
- As a general concept ("sustainability
mainstreaming") the idea of
sustainability may turn somewhat grey
and boring.
- I would recommend to set priorities and
to tackle problems one after another.
Karl Ulrich Voss 22
Theses (4)
- If we sucessfully adress the fields with
the best potential and the best
measurable effect we have achieved a
lot. Even better would be to have
instruments to judge and compare the
environmental friendly effects of specific
innovations extrapolated for the broad
use in the economy ("ecological
currency").
Karl Ulrich Voss 23
Theses (5)
- Best results in single projects do not
mean much, if we do not succeed in
writing strategies for broad
dissemination, which includes
education, vocational training and
professional underwise.
Karl Ulrich Voss 24
last theses
- At the end of a good project comes a ... new
project - or another friendly chap funding the
same project for a next period.
- All the good programmes have been written.
- If you nevertheless cannot resist to write a new
programme, please stay well under 50 pages,
at least with your management summary.
- Budgets should be attributed to specific
programmes, not to fiscal years.
