This document discusses key principles and challenges for the European Union's energy system and research and innovation post-2020, including: looking at the entire energy system, bridging research/innovation with energy policy, better use of financial resources, keeping options open, and connecting endogenous resources. It emphasizes integration across the energy efficiency, competitive/sustainable energy system, flexibility/security, active consumer participation, and market/demonstration areas. The document also discusses integrating innovation along the technology lifecycle from research to market uptake and integrating actions at the European, regional and local levels.

2. Key principles
Research and innovation challenges to support EU energy
system post 2020
• Looking at the whole energy
system
• Bridging research and
innovation with energy policy
• Making better use of existing
and increased financial
resources
• Keep options open
• Connect endogenous
resources
• Adding value at the EU level
