Title of the presentation | Date | 3

EXCELLENT SCIENCE € 24 441 mln.

European Research Council (ERC) - € 13 095 mln.

Future and Emerging Technologies - € 2 696 mln.

Marie Curie Actions - € 6 162 mln.

Research Infrastructures - € 2 488 mln.

Title of the presentation | Date | 4

PRIORITY 1

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

PRIORITY 1

OPPORTUNITIES: Frontier research by the best individual reasearceres -

substantial grants to top-level individual researchers working in Europe

Collaborative research to open new fields of innovation

Opportunities for training and career development

Ensuring access to world-class facilities

PRIORITY 1

INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIP € 24 441 mln.

Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies (LEITs) - € 13 557 mln.

Access to risk finance - € 2 842 mln

Innovation in SMEs - € 616 mln.

PRIORITY 2

WHY?

Strategic investments in key technologies 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

PRIORITY 2

OPPORTUNITIES:

Make Europe a more attractive location to invest in research and innovation

Major investments in key industrial technologies such as (ICT, nanotechnologies, materials, biotechnology, manufacturing, space)

Facilitate access to risk finance

PRIORITY 2

SOCIAL CHALLENGES€ 29 678 mln. Health, demographic change and wellbeing - € 7 472 mln.

Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research & the Bio economy - € 3 851mln.

Inclusive and reflective societies - € 1 309 mln.

Secure societies - € 1 695 mln.

Title of the presentation | Date | 10

PRIORITY 3

WHY?

Concerns of citizens and EU policy (society) objectives(climate, environment, energy, transport, etc) cannotbe achieved without innovation

Breakthrough solutions come from multi-disciplinarycollaborations, including social sciences & humanities

Promising solutions need to be tested, demonstratedand scaled up

PRIORITY 3

OPPORTUNITIES:

The goal will be more than ever to bring excellent research results to market

To deliver direct benefits to citizens, such as affordable health-care, protection against cyber-crime, and the transition to a resource-efficient, low-carbon economy

PRIORITY 3

a more transparent program architecture a single set of rules for participation, including on eligibility for

funding, evaluation and IPR Replacing the four methods to calculate overhead or indirect

costs with a single flat rate (25%) and only two funding rates - for research (100%) and for close to market activities respectively (70%)

streamlined funding rules, for instance allowing the use of researchers' own accounting methods

SIMPLIFIED RULS 1

audit strategy focused on risk and fraud prevention

no time-sheets for personnel working full time on a project, possibility of output-based grants

further simplified provisions in the Grant Agreement and implementing procedures to facilitate access to Horizon 2020 (e.g. common IT platform)

earlier project starts (100 days less from application to grant) Improved rules on intellectual

SIMPLIFIED RULS 2

Structural simplification:

a simpler program architecture centered on three strategic objectives, making it easier for participants to identify where funding opportunities exist

a single set of participation rules, on issues such as eligibility, evaluation or Intellectual Property Rights, applying to all components of Horizon 2020, with deviations only possible when justified by specific needs

IN DETAILS...

Simpler funding rules: simpler reimbursement of direct costs, with a broader

acceptance of beneficiaries' usual accounting practices

the possibility of using unit personnel costs (average personnel costs), including for SME owners without a salary

simplification of time-recording by providing a clear and simple set of minimum conditions; in particular abolition of time-recording obligations for staff working exclusively on an EU project

IN DETAILS...

Simpler funding rules: indirect costs will be covered by a single flat-rate applied to

the direct costs as a general rule - removing a major source of financial errors and complexity

two funding rates but only one predetermined rate applicable to all participants and activities in the same project: one project - one rate

lump sums, prizes, output based funding for specific areas where this has proved appropriate

IN DETAILS...

New control strategy - balance between trust and control: an ex-ante financial capacity checks required only for project

private coordinators a reduction of the number of certificates on financial

statements by requiring only one such certificate per beneficiary at the end of the project

reduction of the limitation period for ex-post audits from five to four years

7% of Horizon 2020 beneficiaries being subject to audit over the whole programming period

IN DETAILS...

BUDGET UNDER 7FP

4 kinds of indirect costs actual real 60% 20%

2 funding rates for RTD activities - 50% and 75% depending on the beneficiary

Different funding rate for different budget heading - management, demo, RTD and others

Integrated approach - around 20% of the total budget for societal challenges and LEITs goes to SME Instrument

SME participation in collaborative R&D or innovation projects (all three priorities)

Innovation in start-ups, spin-offs and young companies (Eurostars2)

Access to risk finance (debt and equity facility) Exchange and mobility of researchers involving SMEs

(Marie Curie actions)
