Three projects on Solid-State Lighting (SSL) selected from the CIP call

The 5th call for proposals of the Competitiveness and Innovation framework Programme (CIP) concerning innovative lighting systems based on Solid-State Lighting (SSL), came to a close on the 30th of May 2011. The call was for large scale “flagship actions” demonstrating the benefits of using advanced SSL solutions in a range of different applications and settings.

A total of 13 proposals were submitted requesting more than 30 million euros of EU funding. Three proposals covering several pilot sites in complementary areas of lighting (indoor, outdoor or street lighting) have been invited for negotiations for an EC contract. The new projects are expected to start in late autumn 2011 or early 2012.
Further information on these projects coming soon!
