The European Commission's Research DG has published a call for tenders for an environmental, economic and societal benefits analysis for the proposed Joint Technology Initiative (JTI) 'Clean Sky'. This analysis should complement other comparable studies in the field of Aeronautics and Air Transport research and technological development (RTD) in Europe, including those prepared for the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). It is proposed in FP7 to introduce, in a limited number of cases, where the scope of a RTD objective and the scale of the resources involved justify, a JTI. The prime objective of the work is to provide the Commission with an environmental economic and societal benefits analysis relating to the public and private investments in the JTI. The scope of the analysis shall be both the direct and indirect environmental, economic and societal benefits to relevant stakeholders (for example public authorities, citizens, industry and business, governments and agencies) including the competitive benefits for the European Aeronautics and Air Transport industries within the context of the global air transport system. The analysis should be based on scenarios. The scenarios should consider the challenges regarding the greening of air transport and how developments and impacts are likely to evolve and progress over the next 20 years, given the different options for investment in research and development. The scenarios must comprise a complete and comprehensive characterization of the potential environmental, economic and societal impact using markets forecasts and estimates of business performance based on qualitative and quantitative data from the public domain and industry. To ensure better definition of the assumptions made with respect to the expected market trends; to highlight technological limiting/hindering factors and to highlight the potential time-lag against expected impacts, specific snapshots should be made for the years 2010 and 2020. Consideration should also be given to the impact on investments in research and technological developments resulting from EU and international policies relating to the environment.
