Three Horizon2020 priorities: 1.Excellent science 2.Industrial leadership 3.Societal challenges

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

Proposed funding (million euro, ) European Research Council Frontier research by the best individual teams Future and Emerging Technologies Collaborative research to open new fields of innovation 2696 Marie Curie actions Opportunities for training and career development Research infrastructures (including e- infrastructure) Ensuring access to world-class facilities 2 478

ERC Starting Grant for young, early-career top researchers (2-7 years after PhD) -up to 2 million euro for a period of 5 years.ERC Starting Grant ERC Consolidator Grant for already independent excellent researchers 7-12 years after PhD) -up to 2.75 million euro for a period of 5 years.ERC Consolidator Grant ERC Advanced Grant for senior research leaders with significant research achievements in the last 10 years -up to 3.5 million euro for a period of 5 years.ERC Advanced Grant ERC Proof of Concept Grants for ERC grant holders who want to check the market and/or innovation potential of research results from ERC-projects -up to 150,000 euro for a period of 12 months.ERC Proof of Concept Grants ERC Synergy Grants for small groups of individual researchers -up to 15 million euro for a period up to 6 years.ERC Synergy Grants

FET Open supports early-stage joint science and technology research around new ideas for radically new future technologies. FET Proactive fosters transformative ICT research through a set of focused thematic initiatives(quantum simulation,HPC,robotics etc) FET Flagships support ambitious, large-scale, long-term, science-driven, goal-oriented, roadmap-based research initiatives tackling grand challenges in S&T. 'Graphene' and 'Human Brain Project' (HBP).GrapheneHuman Brain Project

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

Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies (ICT, nanotechnologies, materials, biotechnology, manufacturing, space) Access to risk finance Leveraging private finance and venture capital for research and innovation Innovation in SMEs Fostering all forms of innovation in all types of SMEs 619 complemented by (expected 15% of societal challenges + LEIT) and 'Access to risk finance' with strong SME focus Proposed funding (million euro, )

Priority 3. Societal challenges Why: Concerns of citizens and society/EU policy objectives (climate, environment, energy, transport etc) cannot be achieved without innovation Breakthrough solutions come from multi- disciplinary collaborations, including social sciences & humanities Promising solutions need to be tested, demonstrated and scaled up

Proposed funding (million euro, ) Health, demographic change and wellbeing8 033 Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research & the bioeconomy Secure, clean and efficient energy*5 782 Smart, green and integrated transport6 802 Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials Inclusive, innovative and secure societies3 819 *Additional €1 788m for nuclear safety and security from the Euratom Treaty activities ( ). Does not include ITER.
