HORIZON 2020

What is Horizon 2020

EU Research and Innovation funding programme

(2014-2020) about €80 billion

A core part of Europe 2020 strategy, Innovation

Union & European Research Area:

Responding to the economic crisis to invest 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

10

Horizon 2020: A break from the past (1/3)

A single programme geared to underpin growth, jobs and

provide solutions to challenges:

Bringing together three separate programmes/initiatives*

Coupling research to innovation – from lab to market; all

forms of innovation including innovation in public sector and

social innovation

Focussing on societal challenges (e.g. CC, health, clean

energy and transport)

Single funding rate: One project=one funding rate for all

beneficiaries and all activities; 100% of eligible costs BUT 70%

for innovation projects (100% non-profit organisations); 25%

flat-rate overheads;

7th Research Framework Programme, Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme, European Institute of Innovation and Technology

11

Horizon 2020: A break from the past (2/3)

12

A strong challenge-based approach, with broader, less

prescriptive topics and strong emphasis on expected

impact; Larger topic budgets; several projects to be funded

per topic);

Promoting innovation, market uptake and demand-driven

innovation through piloting, demonstrations, market replication,

support to pre-commercial procurement, inducement prizes, fast

track to innovation ….;

Simplified access and rules for participation for all

companies, universities, institutes in all EU countries and

beyond

Cross-cutting issues mainstreamed (e.g. social sciences,

gender, international co-operation…)

Horizon 2020: A break from the past (3/3)

Promoting SMEs participation across all Societal Challenges

and LEIT (20% of budget to SMEs); a new dedicated SME

instrument has been designed specifically for highly

innovative SMEs

Improving access to risk capital (equity and debt facility) and

loans for innovative companies and SMEs;

Mainstreaming Climate Change and Sustainable

Development objectives across the whole of Horizon 2020:

at least 60% of overall Horizon 2020 budget should be related

to sustainable development;

35% to climate-related expenditure;

Economic crisis and the path to sustainable growth

and creation of jobs remains the leitmotif

Strategic programming in H2020

To increase impact of the funding and a more integrated approach, 12 Focus Areas (FA) have been identified;

It brings together activities from often different challenges and enabling technologies;

Provides support across the innovation cycle from research, to development, to proof of concept, piloting, demonstration projects, and to setting standards and policy frameworks;

Makes use of the full spectrum of funding schemes and types of action e.g. research and innovation actions, innovation actions, ERA-Nets, SME instrument

Each Focus Area is covered by a specific call included in a Work Programme (WP)
