What are National Contact Points?
National Contact Points (NCPs) are publicly funded (many by the
Technology Strategy Board) to provide advice and assistance to UK
participants within specific areas of Horizon 2020
• Clarification of documentation and rules
• Guidance on choosing thematic priorities and instruments
• Advice on administrative procedures and contractual issues
• Feedback on proposals
• Assistance in partner search
All member states have NCPs:

What’s new - Simplification
• A single set of rules for participation and dissemination :
for the whole innovation chain
• Simplified and uniform evaluation criteria : excellence,
impact, implementation (excellence to be sole criterion for
ERC actions)
• Simplified funding : Single funding rate for research
projects; flat rate for indirect costs
• Faster time-to-grant : to be reduced to 8 months (5 + 3)
• Fewer, better targeted controls and audits
Technology Strategy Board
Driving Innovation
European Framework Programme for Business
New Funding model
• Direct costs:
– Up to 100% of total eligible costs for research actions
– Up to 70%* of total eligible costs for ‘close-to-market actions’
• Indirect costs:
– A further 25% of total eligible direct costs
– No full cost option

(LEIT)
• Key enabling technologies and support to innovative
SMEs to exit economic crisis
• Emphasis on R&D and innovation areas with strong
industrial dimension and on activities primarily developed
through relevant industrial roadmaps.
• Involvement of industrial participants and SMEs to
maximise expected impact
Technology Strategy Board
Driving Innovation
European Framework Programme for Business
In the LEIT priority, funded projects will be outcome
oriented.
LEIT projects should develop key technology buidling blocks
and bring them closer to applications and market to pave
way for industrial and commercial implementation.
The proposal should describe:
• Exploitation and/or business plans
• Engagement of partners along industrial value chain
• Standardisation
• IPR
• Dissemination of know-how
• Support for education and training
• Expected impact
Technology Strategy Board
Driving Innovation
European Framework Programme for Business
Synergies with other EU, national or regional programmes are
encouraged:
Some topics particularly suitable for additional funding

e.g. to explore paths to commercial exploitation or to
deploy H2020 funded technologies
The LEIT part of the WP will use Technology Readiness Levels
(TRLs) from 3-4 up to 7-8

towards pilot lines and demonstrator projects; promotion of
cross-cutting KETs activities; selection criteria
•ERDF: KETs as priority investment area; financing up till first
production; combined financing; KETs integration in regional
smart specialisation strategies
• European Investment Bank: MoU agreement with the EIB
prioritises KETs
• Modernise state aid rules to sustain EU growth
•Promote necessary multidisciplinary technology skills and
training
Technology Strategy Board
Driving Innovation
European Framework Programme for Business
KETs in Horizon 2020 throughout the
innovation chain
• Future and Emerging Technologies (FET): address grand science
and technology challenges which require a research effort for a period
of up to 10 years.
• Societal challenges and "focus areas": concentration of effort and
resources, in order to maximise impacts. Strongly underpinned by
innovation potential of KETs.
• LEIT: boosting the industrial deployment of enabling technologies

The issues regarding KETs
• Europe has strong position in science and in patenting
activity
• EU actors are at top of patent ranking in each KET
• But there is a gap between the technology base and the
manufacturing base
• We need to add product development (e.g.
demonstrators) and competitive manufacturing to the
technologies
From Lab to Industry to Market

Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs)
– a useful tool in development and deployment of KETs
 NMP in FP7: TRLs 1 – 4;
up to 5-6 in 2012-13 (pilots and demonstrators)
 LEIT KETs: TRLs 3/4 – 8; centre at TRLs 5-7

– Use of Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs from 3-4 to 8)
– Both funding rates
100% funding: TRLs 3-6
70% funding : TRLs 5-8
