Background: EU Robotics programme in FP7 (2007–2013) More than 100 on-going projects today With over 700 partners FP7 – Robotics: ~500 M€ funding http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/ict/robotics/projects/areas-projects_en.html

Background – Horizon 2020  Horizon 2020: stronger focus on innovation and bringing research closer to the market  Simplified access for all companies, universities, institutes in all EU countries and beyond  New instruments to foster innovation, for example Pre-Commercial Procurement or the SME Instrument  Three priorities: —Excellent Science —Industrial Leadership (this is where robotics will be situated) —Societal Challenges

Goals  Growth, Jobs & Competitiveness  Better articulation of research and innovation  Seamless funding from idea to market What's new: More innovation, from research to market, all forms of innovation -> NOT SHIFT BUT EXTENSION

Towards Horizon 2020: Public-Private Partnership (PPP) in robotics Basic Research R&D Innovation Uptake EXTENSION

What is a PPP? European Robotics PPP Regular meetings structured dialogue Private Partner - euRobotics aisbl ●Development of research & development & innovation agenda ●Suggesting call topics, priorities, funding profile Public Partner ●Implementation of R&D&I agenda CLEAR SEPARATION OF ROLES Private Partner => Strategy Public Partner => Implementation  The private part is not involved in the selection of proposals

MYTHS ABOUT PPP and H2020  PPP not limited to applied research: Still many fundamental scientific issues to solve hard problems – necessary for take up Check SRA/MAR  H2020: Not SHIFT from R to I BUT expand from RTD to R & I, Roadmap-based activities driven by applications needs
