1. The New EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation 2014-2020 HORIZON 2020 Martina Desole APRE Coordinator ERACAN Plus

2. 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 1. Smart & inclusive growth (€451 billion) 2. Sustainable growth, natural resources (€373 billion) 3. Security and citizenship (€16 billion) 4. Global Europe (€58 billion) 5. Administration (€61.6 billion) Education, Youth, Sport Connecting Europe Cohesion Competitive Business SMEs HORIZON 2020 TOTAL €960 billion

3. What is Horizon 2020? €79 billion (current prices) research and innovation funding programme (2014-2020) A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union & European Research Area: − Responding to the economic crisis by investing in future jobs and growth − Addressing people’s concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment − Strengthening the EU’s global position in research, innovation and technology

4. What's new? A single programme bringing together three separate programmes/initiatives* 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  The 7 th Research Framework Programme (FP7), innovation aspects of Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP), EU contribution to the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT)

5. Three priorities Excellent science Industrial leadership Societal challenges

6. 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

7. European Research Council (ERC) Frontier research by the best individual teams13 095 Future and Emerging Technologies Collaborative research to open new fields of innovation 2 696 Marie Sklodowska-Curie actions (MSCA) Opportunities for training and career development6 162 Research infrastructures (including e-infrastructure) Ensuring access to world-class facilities2 488 Funding (€ million, 2014-2020)

8. 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 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to create growth and jobs

9. Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies (LEITs) (ICT, nanotechnologies, materials, biotechnology, manufacturing, space) 13 557 Access to risk finance Leveraging private finance and venture capital for research and innovation 2 842 Innovation in SMEs Fostering all forms of innovation in all types of SMEs 616 + complemented by expected 20% of budget of societal challenges + LEITs and 'Access to risk finance' with strong SME focus Funding (€ million, 2014-2020)

10. 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

11. Funding (€ million, 2014-2020)  Additional funding for nuclear safety and security from the Euratom Treaty activities (2014-2018) Health, demographic change and wellbeing7 472 Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research & the Bioeconomy 3 851 Secure, clean and efficient energy *5 931 Smart, green and integrated transport6 339 Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials3 081 Inclusive and reflective societies1 309 Secure societies1 695 Science with and for society462 Spreading excellence and widening participation816

12. International cooperation International cooperation = key cross-cutting priority of Horizon 2020, in particular to: Strengthen the Union's excellence, as well as its economic competitiveness Tackle global societal challenges Support the Union's external policies Basic approach provided by Horizon 2020 Regulation and Rules for Participation Strategy for international cooperation (COM(2012) 497): enhancing and focusing international cooperation activities (in terms of areas and partners)

13. International cooperation in Horizon 2020 Key message: Horizon 2020 is open to participation from across the world! Clear ambition to substantially increase participation of international partners! How? General opening Targeted international cooperation actions across Horizon 2020 Supported by horizontal international cooperation activities (in Horizon 2020 Challenge 6: follow-up to Capacities INCO programme)

14. General opening Horizon 2020 is open to participation from across the world Automatic funding: Member States (including overseas departments and overseas territories) Associated Countries exhaustive list of countries in annex to work programme (but: no longer BRIC + Mexico in this list!) For other countries, funding only in exceptional cases: when provision is made in the call text bilateral agreement (e.g. Health challenge – NIH) when the Commission deems it essential (case by case assessment)

15. International cooperation: How? General opening Targeted international cooperation actions across Horizon 2020 Supported by horizontal international cooperation activities Participation ≠ funding 15 Eligible for automatic funding Provision in the Work Programme / Call text Bilateral agreement Case by case essential participation No EU funding

16. Research and innovation actions Actions primarily consisting of activities aiming to establish new knowledge and/or to explore the feasibility of a new or improved technology, product, process, service or solution. For this purpose they may include basic and applied research, technology development and integration, testing and validation on a small-scale prototype in a laboratory or simulated environment. Disclaimer : legally not binding

17. Innovation actions Actions primarily consisting of activities directly aiming at producing plans and arrangements or designs for new, altered or improved products, processes or services. For this purpose they may include prototyping, testing, demonstrating, piloting, large-scale product validation and market replication. Disclaimer : legally not binding
