EBTP Work Group Members

The Membership of all Working Group is being reviewed in early 2009, and applications for membership are welcome from all biofuels stakeholders. Please e-mail your C.V. and a short message summarising your motivation for joining a particular WG to secretariat@biofuelstp.eu. Your details will then be forwarded to the relevant Chair for approval.

Further information on the selection process for WG membership is presented below.

Several hundred people responded to the original invitation on the Europa website for persons wishing to become actively involved in the Working Groups of the Technology Platform to express their interest by completing a registration form.  All completed requests were collated by the secretariat and assigned to possible WGs and these lists discussed at a formal meeting held in December 2006 at which short lists of possible invitees were drawn up on the basis of selection criteria set by the Steering Committee as follows:

• The technical competence of individuals based on their professional profile.
• Their individual commitment to the work involved.
• Expected technical support from company or institution, company profile and formal commitment to allocate adequate resources to the task.
• Individuals and their company or organisation should be recognised as having previously made significant contributions to the development of biofuels for transport, through (for example) contributions to BIOFRAC, R&D activites and scientific or technical publications.
• A diversity of country representation from EU-25 is to be attempted, since biofuels issues reflect significant regional and sectorial differences.
• There should be only one expert per company/institution and WG.
• Numbers should be manageable with a proposed maximum of 25 people per WG, with the Chair able to consult with or co-opt specific individuals on a one-off basis if the need arises.

In general the appointment to the WGs is a personal appointment. However, since the activity is offered on a voluntary basis and will involve an investment of time and effort membership also reflects the interest and support of the company or other organisation involved.
