HORIZON 2020 : Union's new funding program for research and innovation HORIZON 2020 : Main priorities HORIZON 2020 : Key novelties HORIZON 2020 : International cooperation HORIZON 2020 : Agenda Head lines

What is Horizon 2020? Originally : a Commission proposal of €80 billion for bringing together three separate programs / initiatives (RFP, CIP, EIT) Now a guarantee of a budget ≥ RFP + CIP + EIT ≈ €71 billion A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union & European Research Area to :  Tackle the economic crises investing in growth and future jobs,  Address people’s concerns about their standard of living, safety and environment,  Strengthen the Europe’s global place in research, innovation and technology.

Three priorities 1.Excellent science 2.Industrial leadership 3.Societal challenges

Structure: 3 priorities

Priority 1 – Scientific Excellence 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

Proposed actions (€M, )

Priority 2 – Industrial leadership WHY? Strategic investments in key technologies (e.g. advanced manufacturing, microelectronics) underpin innovation across existing and emerging sectors Europe needs more innovative SMEs to create growth and jobs Europe needs to attract more private investment in research and innovation

Proposed actions (€M, )

Priority 3 – Societal challenges WHY? Concerns of citizens and society/EU policy objectives (climate, environment, energy, transport etc) Breakthrough solutions come from multidisciplinary collaborations, including social sciences & humanities Promising solutions need to be tested, demonstrated and scaled up

Proposed activities (€M, )

Key novelties in Horizon 2020 A single program bringing together three separate programs / initiatives :  The Research Framework Program  Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Program  EU contribution to the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) 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.

Targeted thematic : Societal challenges of Horizon 2020 Investments, research infrastructures, products Market access’ opportunities Contribution to global commitments (MDG, Rio+20) Geographic differentiation : Industrial countries and emerging economies Enlargement and neighbourhood countries, EFTA Developing countries International cooperation in Horizon 2020
