HORIZON 2020 The EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation 2014-2020

Presentation to NUI Galway10 September 2013Kay Duggan-Walls, Health Research BoardNational Contact Point for Horizon 2020 Health

Proposal for H2020Legislative proposal from Commission was announced 30 November 2011

Part of a drive to create new jobs and growth in Europe

What is Horizon 2020?• Commission proposal for a €80 billion

research and innovation funding programme (2014-2020)

• A core part of Europe 2020, 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

Horizon 2020 – 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 7th Research Framework Programme (FP7), innovation aspects of Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP), EU contribution to the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT)

Three Priorities

1. Excellent Science2. Industrial leadership3. Societal challenges

Priority 1. Excellent science€25bn

Why:• World class science is the

foundation of tomorrow’s technologies, jobs and well-being

• Europe needs to develop, attract and retain research talent

• Researchers need access to the best infrastructures

European Research CouncilFrontier research by the best individual teams

€13,263

Future and Emerging TechnologiesCollaborative research to open new fields of innovation

€3,100

Marie Curie actionsOpportunities for training and career development

€5,752

Research infrastructures including e-infrastructuresEnsuring access to world class facilities

€2,478

Priority 2. Industrial leadership€18bn

Why:• Strategic investments in key

technologies (e.g. advanced manufacturing, micro-electronics) innovation across existing and emerging sectors.

• Europe needs to attract more private investment in research and innovation

• Europe needs more innovative SMEs to create growth and jobs

Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies (ICT, nanotechnologies, materials, biotechnology, manufacturing space)

€13,781

Access to risk financeLeverage private finance and venture capital for research and innovation

€3,538

Innovation in SMEsFostering all forms of innovation in all types of SMEs

€619

Priority 3. Societal challenges€32bn

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

Health, demographic change and wellbeing €8,033

Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research & the bio economy

€4,152

Secure, clean and efficient energy €5,782

Smart, green and integrated transport €6,802

Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials

€3,160

Inclusive, innovative and secure societies €3,819

Horizon 2020

Horizon 2020 and partnering: an overview

Public private partnerships• Through Joint Technology Initiatives (JTIs) or other formal structures (Art

187)• Through contractual agreements, which provide input for work programmes• Only when criteria met, e.g. clear commitment from private partnersPublic public partnerships:• Through ‘ERA-Nets’ for topping up individual calls/actions (replacing current

ERA-Net, ERA-Net Plus, Inco-Net, Inno-net)• Through participation in joint programmes between Member States (Art.

185)• Supporting agendas of Joint Programming Initiatives when in line with

Horizon 2020• Only when criteria met, e.g. financial commitments of participating

countriesEuropean Innovation Partnerships• Not funding instruments, but for coordination with broader policies and

programmes

FP7 Cooperation themes → HORIZON2020 challenges1. Health (€6.1b)2. Food, agriculture, fisheries and

Horizon 2020 Work ProgrammeHorizon 2020 is different

• Multidisciplinary approach• Strong challenge based approach – allowing

applicants freedom to come up with innovative solutions

• Simplified list of possible type of action (research and innovation 100%; innovation actions – 70%)

• Less prescription, strong emphasis on expected impact

• Broader topics• Cross-cutting issues mainstreamed (e.g. social

science, gender)

Personalised Health and Care• Choice to focus on personalised health and care –

informed by ageing of the European population• Increasing communicable and non-communicable

disease burden • Fall out from economic crisis

• Aims to create opportunities for real breakthrough research and radical innovation Supporting translational of findings into clinic and other

healthcare settings to improve health outcomes, reduce inequalities and promote active and healthy ageing

Rational for 1st Work Programme• Demographic changes• Chronic diseases• Sustainability of health and care systems

– cost of inaction• Drug development pipeline• Infectious disease – in terms of global

development, resurgence, pandemic threat

• Big data

Work programme TopicsStructure reflects the challenge based approach1. Specific Challenge – sets the context, the

problem to be addressed, why intervention is necessary

2. Scope – delineates the problem, specifies the focus and the boundaries of the potential action BUT without overtly describing specific approaches

3. Expected Impact – describe the key elements of what is expected to be achieved in relation to the specific challenge
