Research and innovation – The main engines of future growth and jobs

The EU's share of world R&D expenditure is falling

The EU's share of world patents is falling

EU MS are far from reaching their R&D targets

Competitive Business SMEs The Multiannual Financial Framework 2014-2020: European Council conclusions, 8 February 2013 Key challenge: stabilise the financial and economic system while taking measures to create economic opportunities Smart & inclusive growth (€451 billion) Sustainable growth, natural resources (€373 billion) Security and citizenship (€16 billion) Global Europe (€58 billion) Administration (€61.6 billion) HORIZON 2020 Competitive Business SMEs Education, Youth, Sport Connecting Europe Cohesion TOTAL €960 billion

KEY FEATURES OF HORIZON 2020 The first integrated programme, covering both basic research and close-to-market innovation. Total budget of ~ EUR 77 billion. Less than 10% of public R&D spending in the EU. A 3 pillar approach with one general objective: “To contribute to building a society and economy based on knowledge and innovation across the Union." #1 Research and innovation

KEY STRENGTHS An attractive, simplified and well-performing programme, highly relevant for stakeholders and societal needs. On track to deliver value for money and to meet its knowledge-creating objectives. Strong EU Added Value through unique opportunities, competition & access to new knowledge. € Research and innovation

KEY AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT Underfunding Has lower success rates than FP7, esp. for high quality proposals. Support for market-creating innovation Demonstrates potential for breakthrough, market-creating innovation, but it should be strengthened substantially. Greater outreach to civil society Should better explain the impacts of R&I, and involve even more the users & citizens in agenda-setting & implementation. Research and innovation
