heal.abstract	The Framework Programmes (FP) for Research is the main EU funding mechanism for research, technological development and demonstration. With a budget of almost one billion Euros, projects in the area of energy from the previous FP5 (1998-2002) are well advanced, with many entering the critical phase of exploiting and disseminating their results. The total expenditure on European RTD projects for the large-scale integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and Distributed Generation (DG), i.e. Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and key enabling technologies, within FP5 is of the order of €130 million, with an EC contribution of about €67 million. The main objective of FP6, which runs from 2002 to 2006, is to contribute to the creation of a true European Research Area (ERA). ERA is a vision for the future of research in Europe, an internal market for science and technology. It fosters scientific excellence, competitiveness and innovation through the promotion of better co-operation and coordination between relevant actors at all levels. FP6 is structured into 'Thematic Priorities'. RTD, including large-scale integration of DER into electricity networks, is being implemented within Thematic Priority 6.1. 'Sustainable energy systems' which has a total budget of around €890 million. Currently, about €91 million, matched by public and private investments, with a EU funding of about €50 million, has been awarded to RTD projects for the large-scale integration of DER in FP6. © 2006 IEEE.	en
