What is Horizon 2020?

• €79 billion (current prices) research and innovation funding programme (2014-2020)

• A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union & European Research Area:

− Responding to the economic crisis by investing 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

What's new?

• A single programme bringing together three separate programmes/initiatives*

• Coupling research to innovation – from research to retail, all forms of innovation

• Focus on societal challenges facing EU society, e.g. health, clean energy and transport

• Simplified access, for all companies, universities, institutes in all EU countries and beyond

The 7th Research Framework Programme (FP7), innovation aspects of Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP), EU contribution to the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT)

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 Sklodowska-Curie actions (MSCA) Opportunities for training and career development

6 162

Research infrastructures (including e-infrastructure)

Ensuring access to world-class facilities

2 488

Funding (€ million, 2014-2020)

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

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

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

Funding (€ million, 2014-2020)

Additional funding for nuclear safety and security from the Euratom Treaty activities (2014-2018)

Health, demographic change and wellbeing 7 472

International cooperation

• International cooperation = key cross-cutting priority of Horizon 2020, in particular to:

Strengthen the Union's excellence, as well as its economic

competitiveness Tackle global societal challenges Support the Union's external policies

• Basic approach provided by Horizon 2020 Regulation and Rules for Participation

• Strategy for international cooperation (COM(2012) 497): enhancing and focusing international cooperation activities (in terms of areas and partners)

International cooperation in Horizon 2020

Key message: Horizon 2020 is open to participation from across the world! Clear ambition to substantially increase participation of international partners! How? • General opening • Targeted international cooperation actions across Horizon 2020 • Supported by horizontal international cooperation activities (in

Horizon 2020 Challenge 6: follow-up to Capacities INCO programme)

General opening

• Horizon 2020 is open to participation from across the world

• Automatic funding:

Member States (including overseas departments and overseas territories)

Associated Countries

exhaustive list of countries in annex to work programme (but: no longer BRIC + Mexico in this list!)

• For other countries, funding only in exceptional cases:

when provision is made in the call text

bilateral agreement (e.g. Health challenge – NIH)

when the Commission deems it essential (case by case assessment)

Research and innovation actions

• Actions primarily consisting of activities aiming to establish new knowledge and/or to explore the feasibility of a new or improved technology, product, process, service or solution.

• For this purpose they may include basic and applied research, technology development and integration, testing and validation on a small-scale prototype in a laboratory or simulated environment.

Disclaimer : legally not binding

Innovation actions

• Actions primarily consisting of activities directly aiming at producing plans and arrangements or designs for new, altered or improved products, processes or services.

• For this purpose they may include prototyping, testing, demonstrating, piloting, large-scale product validation and market replication.
