[en] Since 1978 Risoe has been responsible for a number of projects in the research and development programs of the Danish Ministry of Energy. This report gives criteria for choice of projects with special emphasis on viewing the projects in connection with other activities at Risoe. All current projects are described individually stating status and results obtained. Risoe's contribution to the organization and the administration of the programs is mentioned. The discussion of criteria and project evaluation leads to identification of some key areas in which Risoe in the future should contribute to the energy research and development programs. (author)
