NER 300–INNOVATIVE RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES (RES) Wind RELEVANT KNOWLEDGE COLLECTION FORM: RES/WINa/b/c/d/e/f (for use by Project Sponsors) Knowledge-Sharing Requirements This form is a template for the documentation of the relevant knowledge generated from renewable energy (RES) wind demonstration projects, which have been selected under the NER 300 process, or have agreed to share information with the Commission. In order to receive Project Funding, the completion of this Relevant Knowledge Form is mandatory to comply with Article 12 of Decision 2010/670/EU and Annex 3 (Specifications for Legally Binding Instrument (SLBI)) and Annex II (Knowledge-Sharing Requirements) of both NER 300 Award Decisions. This Form is structured to reflect the Knowledge Sharing Obligations as stated in Annex II of the Award Decisions as above. Where appropriate, additional guidance is given on the expected Relevant Knowledge to be provided. Pursuant and with reference to Point 8 of the SLBI, this Form distinguishes between Relevant Knowledge to be distributed to both Level 1 (L1) and Level 2 (L2) recipients. Level 1 recipients are all NER 300 projects in the wind energy category (WINa/b/c/d/e/f), and any other project which has agreed to share information with the Commission on terms equivalent to Annex II of the SLBI (for example offshore wind projects funded by the European Energy Programme for Recovery-EEPR). Level 2 recipients are the wider CCS and renewable energy community (Commission, Member States, researchers, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), international organisations and other projects) and, where appropriate, the public. The Commission may decide when appropriate, to aggregate Level 1 Relevant Knowledge to be shared beyond Level 1 Recipients (i.e. at Level 2), with the objective that the result cannot be ascribed to individual projects, organisations or persons.
