The future
“As in a glass darkly”
What is new?
• • • • • • • –
A single programme (FP7 + CIP + EIT) Strong focus on societal challenges
(game changing for ICT…)
More innovation Reaching out to non-traditional actors More risk taking Strengthened support for high-t ech SMEs More open, light & fast schemes
Innovation
• •
Activities directly aiming at producing plans and arrangements for new, altered or improved products, processes or services May include:
Protyping, Testing, Demonstrating, Piloting, Large-scale product validation and Market replication
H2020: What ’s Important?
Generation of H2020
Commission Council European Parliament Horizon 2020 Legislation Commission Communication The proposal The three documents Establishing Regulation Rules for the participation and dissemination
Independent expert input
Specific programme
Member State oversight
On 25 June 2013,
Programme Committees
political agreement was reached
Multi-annual Work Programmes (with indicative budget)

Main elements of The H2020 Compromise
A simple funding model:
.
100% Direct Costs + 25% [70% for Innovation only] Time-to-grant of 8 months ("5 + 3 months”) Guidelines on the transfer of indirect to direct costs for large research infrastructures.
Some new activities
"Spreading excellence and widening participation" and "Science with and for society" are addressed as separate parts outside the three main pillars.
New Societal Challenge 7 on "Secure Societies".
New activities on cross-cutting marine and maritime research (Challenge 2) and Cultural heritage (Challenges 5 and 6).
Dedication of budgets to key topics: SME Research & Innovation, Energy and FET
Target of at least 20% of the combined budget of LEIT and Societal Challenges for SMEs.
5% [> 7% ] of the combined budget of LEIT and Societal Challenges will be distributed through the SME instrument Energy, 85% of the budget is set for non-fossil fuel energy research; rest dedicated to fossil fuel related energy research 40% of the FET budget is earmarked for FET Open.

Main elements of The H2020 Compromise
Fast Track to Innovation Pilot:
A Fast Track to Innovation pilot is to be launched in 2015 : For close-to-market actions maxima: of 5 partners and 3M€ per project open calls with three cut-off deadlines per year fast time to grant project will not require Programme Committee approval.
covering all fields across Industrial Leadership and Societal Challenges Pillars The pilot will include a sufficient number of projects to allow for an in depth evaluation that will be part of the mid-term evaluation of H2020. Future implementation of the Fast Track will be decided on the basis of the evaluation results.
Derogations from the Rules of Participation for JTIs
Derogations from the Rules for Participation for JTIs are restricted to specified areas and are to be adopted by delegated acts.
Revenues and repayments of the financial instruments
Derogation from the Financial Regulation will permit both revenues and repayments to be returned to the financial instruments .
