““ICT & ROBOTICS: IL NUOVO PACCHETTO DI
LAVORO E LA CALL 2014”
What is Horizon 2020
Initial Commission proposal for a €80 billion research and innovation funding programme (2014-2020); now just over €70 billion
A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union & European Research Area:
− Responding to the economic crisis to invest in future jobs and growth
− Addressing people’s concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment
− Strengthening the EU’s global position in research, innovation and technology
• A single programme (FP7 + CIP + EIT)
• Strong focus on societal challenges (game changing for ICT…)
• More innovation
• Reaching out to non-traditional actors
• More risk taking
• Strengthened support for high-tech SMEs
• More open, light & fast schemes
What is new?
Three priorities
Excellent science
Industrial leadership
Societal challenges
Priority 1. Excellent science
Why:
• World class science is the foundation of tomorrow’s technologies, jobs and wellbeing
• Europe needs to develop, attract and retain research talent
• Researchers need access to the best infrastructures
European Research Council (ERC)
Frontier research by the best individual teams
13 095
Future and Emerging Technologies
Collaborative research to open new fields of innovation
2 696
Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA)
Opportunities for training and career development
6 162
Research infrastructures (including e-infrastructure)
Ensuring access to world-class facilities
2 488
(ICT: 863)
Proposed funding (€ million, 2014-2020)*
All funding figures in this presentation are subject to the pending Multiannual Financial Framework Regulation by the EP and the Council
Priority 2. Industrial leadership
Why:
• Strategic investments in key technologies (e.g. advanced manufacturing, micro-electronics) underpin innovation across existing and emerging sectors
• Europe needs to attract more private investment in research and innovation
• Europe needs more innovative small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to create growth and jobs
Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies (LEITs)
(ICT, nanotechnologies, materials, biotechnology, manufacturing, space)
13 557 (ICT:7 360)
Access to risk finance
Leveraging private finance and venture capital for research and innovation
2 842
Innovation in SMEs
Fostering all forms of innovation in all types of SMEs
616 + complemented
by expected 20% of budget of societal
challenges + LEITs and
'Access to risk finance' with strong SME focus
Proposed funding (€ million, 2014-2020)
Priority 3. Societal challenges
Why:
• Concerns of citizens and society/EU policy objectives (climate, environment, energy, transport, etc) cannot be achieved without innovation
• Breakthrough solutions come from multi-disciplinary collaborations, including social sciences & humanities
• Promising solutions need to be tested, demonstrated and scaled up

Strong participation by SMEs
• Integrated approach - around 20% of the total budget for societal challenges and LEITs to go to SMEs
• Simplification of particular benefit to SMEs (e.g. single entry point)
• A new SME instrument will be used across all societal challenges as well as for the LEITs
• A dedicated activity for research-intensive SMEs in 'Innovation in SMEs'
• 'Access to risk finance' will have a strong SME focus (debt and equity facility)
Next steps
• December 10: WP adoption by Commission
• December 11: Publication of first calls
• Spring 2014: closing of first call
La partecipazione italiana in sintesi - ICT FP7* (1) La partecipazione italiana nel tema ICT ha subito una diminuzione tra il V e
VI Programma Quadro al VII Programma Quadro, infatti si è avuto un passaggio dai 12.3% circa al 10.2%.
La partecipazioni delle grandi imprese italiane si aggira intorno al 22%, mentre la partecipazione delle PMI è intorno al 12%. STMicroelectronics Srl, Engineering SPA, e Telecom Italia sono tra i maggiori beneficiari.
L’Italia si mostra fortemente rappresentata nell’ambito delle FET e nelle ICT for Health. Ha comunque una forte presenza in altri settori ICT quali Embedded Systems, Cognitive Systems and robotics, Trustworthy ICT and Software and Services. Questo mostra una buona diversificazione di basi R&D.
Il finanziamento CE è maggiormente diretto a due hubs di Milano e Roma. Altri due maggiori clusters si evidenziano nelle città industriali di Torino e Genova o nei centri universitari di Pisa, Trento o Bologna.

ICT in Industrial Leadership/ 23 How is it new/different from previous calls? 1/2
ICT 23.c: PcP in Monitoring and safety / ICT 24.d: PcP in Healthcare • first time called in robotics • concept of PcP (PcP Pilot) exists in ECHORD++ • relevant projects: SMART@FIRE http://www.smartatfire.eu/ , SILVER
http://www.silverpcp.eu/
ICT CT 24.b: Technology transfer - Industry-academia cross-fertilisation • similar to ECHORD http://www.echord.info/ and ECHORD ++,
however, with a different administrative mechanism – possibility to include third parties as opposed to add partners
ICT in Industrial Leadership/ 23 How is it new/different from previous calls? 2/2
• Industry has a far greater role to play in Robotics R&I than before. Involvement from industry as manufacturers, system suppliers, integrators or users is welcome, as appropriate, depending on the needs of the project and on the technology readiness level addressed. • The involvement of end users in R&I projects is welcome. In Robotics Use cases, which target industrial and service sectors, and Precommercial Procurement it is a "must".

PPP ROBOTICS
Industrial Leadership
"…a government service or private business venture which is funded and operated through a partnership of government and one or more private sector organisations.«
PPP stands for Public-Private Partnership Public side = European Commission Private side = Companies, universities (which can be public bodies), research organisations, NGOs Goal: To strengthen the competitive position of Europe in a particular business sector Mutual development of research strategy & commitment to invest in a sector
Not limited to research, also looking at other areas such as regulation, policy,
trade, non-technical barriers, etc.

Robotics in H2020: PPP What is a PPP?
Vision: A higher quality of life for everyone through robotics
• The European robotics community will lead the world in robotics by creating, designing, developing, innovating, manufacturing and distributing robotic product and services: thereby meeting many societal needs of EU citizens.
Mission: Creating and deploying robotic products and services for high quality work and personal life
• society shall benefit • better living inside and outside factories • improve quality of life directly and indirectly • strategic coordination of pre-competitive R&D&I activities
30
Robotics in H2020: PPP Vision and mission of the PPP in Robotics
• Develop strategic goals of European robotics and foster their implementation • Improve industrial competitiveness of EU through innovative robotic technologies • Position robotics as a key enabler for solving Europe‘s societal challenges • Strengthen networking activities of the European robotics community • Promote European robotics • Reach out to new users and markets • Contribute to policy development and addressing ethical, legal and societal issues
Robotics in H2020: PPP Specific goals of the PPP in Robotics
Memorandum of Understanding signed between the EC (VP Neelie Kroes) and eurobotics aisbl on 18 September 2012
The European Commission (=public side) and eurobotics aisbl (=private side) will sign a contractual agreement: • the objectives of the partnership • the commitments of the partners • key performance indicators • outputs to be delivered • the governance structure • appropriate actions in case of breach of the agreement
Robotics in H2020: PPP PPP Contractual Agreement
Be part of it & play an active role to:
Define the Strategic Research Agenda for Robotics R&I (SRA)
Establish the Multi-Annual Roadmap (MAR) -> Priorities in R&D&I Workprogramme
But: Proposers do not have to be PPP members!
The SRA is publicly available on the euRobotics AISBL website: http://www.eu-robotics.net/ppp/downloads/
