Access over Framework Programmes
PolicyResearch andInnovation
What’s new?
• A single programme bringing together three separateprogrammes/initiatives*
• Coupling research to innovation - from research toretail, 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 inall EU countries and beyond.

Research andInnovation
Horizon 2020, three priorities:
1. Excellent science
2. Industrial leadership
3. Societal challenges
PolicyResearch andInnovation
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
PolicyResearch andInnovation
• Proposed funding (million euro, 2014-2020)
European Research Council
Frontier research by the best individual teams

Research infrastructures (including e-infrastructures)
Ensuring access to world-class facilities
2 478
PolicyResearch andInnovation
Why a EU approach?
• To open access to the research infrastructures existing in the individual Member State to all European researchers
• To avoid duplication of effort and to coordinate and rationalise the use of these research infrastructures
• To trigger the exchange of best practice, develop interoperability of facilities and resources, develop the training of the next generation of researchers
• To connect national research communities and increase the overall quality of the research and innovation
• To help pooling resources so that the Union can also acquire and operate research infrastructures at world level
PolicyResearch andInnovation
From FP7 to Horizon 2020
• An increased budget, from around €1.7 billion (FP7) to €2.5 billion (Horizon 2020 – 2011 constant prices)
• New activities to support the implementation and operation of world-class infrastructures such as ESFRIinfrastructures
• Continuation of the successful FP7 Integrating Activities
• Reinforcement of the support to e-infrastructures
• New objective of better exploiting the innovation potential and human capital of infrastructures
