Introduction H2020

Integrates FP (Framework Programme) CIP (Competitiveness and and Innovation Framework Programme) EIT (European Institute for (Innovation and) Technology ERC (European Research Council) With simplified procedures

Objectives Strengthen the EU’s position in science with a dedicated budget of € million. Strengthen industrial leadership in innovation € million. Provide € million to help address major concerns shared by all Europeans such as climate change, developing sustainable transport and mobility, making renewable energy more affordable, ensuring food safety and security, or coping with the challenge of an ageing population. tackle societal challenges by helping to bridge the gap between research and the market by, for example, helping innovative enterprise to develop their technological breakthroughs into viable products with real commercial potential. This market-driven approach will include creating partnerships with the private sector and Member States to bring together the resources needed. Horizon 2020 will be complemented by further measures to complete and further develop the European Research Area by These measures will aim at breaking down barriers to create a genuine single market for knowledge, research and innovation.European Research Area

Themes Excellent Science (24.6m€) –ERC, FET, Marie-Curie, Research Infrastructures Industrial leadership (18m€) –ICT, nanotechnology, materials, biotechnology, advanced manufacturing & processing, space –SME support Societal Challenges (31.7m€) –Health, food, energy, transport, climate, security

Initial Conclusion There is clearly a need for CERIF-CRIS to manage: the EC-funded research programme nationally funded research programmes especially where they interact Fortunately: ERC, ESF and others have adopted CERIF Increasingly countries are adopting CERIF So: We need to agree a CERIF-CRIS strategy within the H2020 context

Digital Futures Core Foresight Generating trends, visions & scenarios Young Futures Policy making 3.0 Exploring participatory, agile, evidence- based approaches to policy making The Onlife Initiative How will ICT impact social expectations around policy making? Digital Futures is an innovative visioning project designed to contribute to the Commission's reflection on ICT policy beyond 2020 and help strengthen anticipatory thinking in EU policy making. Digital Futures comprises 4 components:

Digital Futures Methodology

Digital Futures Clearly this requires: –Analysis of past and ongoing research activities to generate trends, visions, scenarios –Up-to-date recording of current research activity –Up-to-date recording of proposed research activity to meet scenarios For –Policy-making –Generating trends and visions –Evaluating socio- economic impact Extraction of issues and drivers
