Horizon 2020 Overview
• A single programme bringing together three
separate programmes/initiatives
•
•
•
Framework Programme 7 (FP7)
Competitiveness and Innovation Programme (CIP)
European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT)
• 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
Horizon 2020 Overview
Excellent Science Base
• European Research Council (ERC)
• Future and Emerging Technologies (FET)
• Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions
• Research Infrastructures
Industrial Leadership and Competitive Frameworks
• Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies:
 ICT; Nanotechnologies; Advanced Materials; Biotechnology;
Advanced Manufacturing and Processing; and Space
• Access to risk finance
• Innovation in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs)
Tackling Societal Challenges
• Health, demographics changes and well being
• Food security, sustainable agriculture marine and maritime research
and the bio-economy
• Secure, clean and efficient energy
• Smart, green and integrated transport
• Climate action and resource efficiency including raw materials
• Inclusive and innovative and secure societies
• Protecting freedom and security in Europe

Horizon 2020 – Cross-cutting aspects
Cross-cutting aspects
•
Aim to widen participation across whole programme to ensure excellence
prevails wherever it exists
•
Simplification as a crucial element
•
More bottom-up elements to allow for novel ideas
•
Package of measures to close innovation divide
•
Links to Cohesion policy = building regional research & innovation
capacity
•
Boosting support to European Research Area (ERA) priorities – mobility,
researcher careers, infrastructures, partnering, knowledge transfer, policy
learning
•
Taking account of gender, ethical issues and open access to results
Horizon 2020 – Rules of Participation
Horizon 2020
- Rules for Participation
•
Single set of rules: for everyone (academia & industry)
•
One Project – One Funding Rate
•
Maximum of 100% of direct costs for all types of partners (except for actions close to
market, where a 70% max)
•
Indirect eligible costs: a flat rate of 20% of direct eligible costs
•
No real indirect cost option
•
Simple Evaluation Criteria: excellence, implementation, impact
•
New Forms of funding for innovation: including dedicated SME funding instrument
•
Improved rules on Intellectual Property: including new emphasis on Open Access
•
Simplification: including no time-sheets for personnel working full time on a grant
•
Fewer, more targeted controls and audits: audit strategy focused on risk and fraud
prevention
Horizon 2020 – Cross-cutting aspects
International co-operation
• Instruments:
•
•
Targeted actions on basis of common interest and mutual
benefit
Horizontal activities to promote strategy development of
international co-operation (‘Inclusive, innovative & secure
societies’)
• Who is likely to receive funding?
•
•
•
