RFCS Coal Accompanying Measures
Funds coordination and knowledge-sharing work tied to the EU coal sector's transition, run alongside the Research Fund for Coal & Steel's coal research and pilot-project topics.
Applicants submit the Standard Application Form (RFCS) through the EU Funding & Tenders Portal, alongside the RFCS's own detailed budget table and the evaluation-form content set out in Annex 3 of the call document. Award criteria, scoring and thresholds sit in section 9 of the call document, and the submission and evaluation process and indicative timeline sit in sections 8 and 4, alongside the P…
This topic sits under the Research Fund for Coal & Steel's coal research objectives set out in Council Decision 2008/376/EC, which cover carbon capture and storage, geothermal reuse of former mine sites, mine-waste valorisation, environmental remediation of closing and former coal mines, and reskilling coal-region workers, all tied to the European Green Deal's just-transition goals. As an Accompanying Measures topic it funds supporting activity around those goals rather than the research or pilot/demonstration work covered by the call's other coal topics.
