Impact of Horizon 2020 for R&I

What's new

• A significant increase of EU budget for funding of research and innovation by around 30% to €70 Bio in current prices

• 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)

• Innovation as integral part of the activities

• A broad approach to innovation: meshing research and technological development with product innovation, service innovation … social innovation, innovation in design … business model innovation …

• Both technological & non-technological innovation; Both incremental & disruptive innovation

Coupling research to innovation

Societal Challenges: "new focus on innovation-related activities, such as piloting, demonstration, test-beds, and support for market uptake"

Industrial Leadership: "emphasis on R&D, large-scale pilots and demonstration activities, test beds and living labs, prototyping and product validation in pilot lines"

SME instrument: "particular focus on demonstration activities and market replication in its second phase"

Closer-to-market activities could obtain funding also via the debt and equity financing facilities

Activities closer to users and markets: prototyping, testing, demonstrating, piloting, large-scale product validation, market replication …

Stronger support for market uptake of innovation…

Partnering for greater impact

Public-private partnerships, public-public partnerships; EIT Knowledge and Innovation

Communities; Taking account of agendas of European Technology Platforms, of European

Innovation Partnerships

Dedicated SME instrument

Competitive, business-oriented, focused on creating impact, bringing high-potential

innovations closer to the market

focus on demos and market replications in its second phase, and successful projects shall

also receive support to facilitate access to further private and public investment

Specific exploitation support and services

Innovation procurement

Pre-commercial procurement (PCP) and public procurement of innovative solutions (PPI)

Debt and equity facilities

loan funding and risk capital

Stronger support for market uptake of innovation…

Three priorities

Excellent science

Industrial leadership

Societal challenges

Priority 1. Excellent science

Why:

• World class science is the foundation of tomorrow’s

technologies, jobs and wellbeing

• Europe needs to develop, attract and retain research

talent

• Researchers need access to the best infrastructures

Priority 1. Excellent science

BUDGET (24 598 € million, 2014-2020)*

*indicative breakdown for Horizon 2020 in constant 2011 prices

Priority 2. Industrial leadership

Why:

• Strategic investments in key technologies (e.g. advanced

manufacturing, micro-electronics) underpin innovation

across existing and emerging sectors

• Europe needs to attract more private investment in

research and innovation

• Europe needs more innovative small and medium-sized

enterprises (SMEs) to create growth and jobs

Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies (LEITs)

(ICT, nanotechnologies, materials, biotechnology, manufacturing, space)

13 781

Access to risk finance

Leveraging private finance and venture capital for research and innovation

Innovation in SMEs

Fostering all forms of innovation in all types of SMEs

by expected 20% of budget of societal

challenges + LEITs and

'Access to risk finance' with strong SME focus

Budget (17 938€ million, 2014-2020)

Priority 3. Societal challenges

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.

Horizon 2020 and partnering

Public-private partnerships:

•Through Joint Technology Initiatives or other formal structures (Art. 187)

•Through contractual agreements, which provide inputs for work programmes

•Only when criteria met, e.g. clear commitments from private partners

Public-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 countries

European Innovation Partnerships:

•Not funding instruments, but for coordination with broader policies and programmes

Strong participation by SMEs

• Integrated approach - around 20% of the total budget for societal challenges and LEITs to go to SMEs

• Simplification of particular benefit to SMEs (e.g. single entry point)

• A new SME instrument will be used across all societal challenges as well as for the LEITs

• A dedicated activity for research-intensive SMEs in 'Innovation in SMEs'

• 'Access to risk finance' will have a strong SME focus (debt and equity facility)

Spreading Excellence and Widening Participation

• Principle of excellence: continue to allocate funding on the basis of competitive calls, selecting only the best projects

• Clear division of labour between cohesion policy and Horizon 2020

Cohesion policy: support for regions in building up their research and innovation capacity

Horizon 2020: widen participation, better coordination between the two Union funding programmes, support policy learning reforms

• New Action line "Spreading excellence and widening participation" to ensure that excellence prevails wherever it exists, including: Teaming (Centres of Excellence), Twinning (networking research institutions), ERA Chairs (bringing excellence to research institutions), special COST-Widening actions (broad support to cross-border science networks), a Policy Support Facility (support to MS and regions for better designing research and innovation policies), improved NCP support

Simplification: Rules for Participation

1. A single set of rules:

Adapted for the whole research and innovation cycle

Covering all research programmes and funding bodies

Aligned to the Financial Regulation, coherent with other new EU Programmes

2. One project – one funding rate

Single funding rate per project for all participants and activities

Maximum of 100% of the total eligible costs (except for innovation actions, where a 70% maximum will apply for profit making entities)

Indirect eligible costs: a flat rate of 25% of direct eligible costs

Additional remuneration up to €8000 per researcher and year restricted to non-profit organisations

3. Faster time to grant

Maximum time to grant of eight months as a general rule; 6 months for fast track to innovation scheme

4. Simple evaluation criteria

Excellence – Impact – Implementation (Excellence only for ERC)

5. Simpler rules for grants

broader acceptance of participants accounting practices for direct costs, flat rate for indirect costs, no time-sheets for personnel working full time on a project, possibility of output-based grants

6. Fewer, better targeted controls and audits

Lowest possible level of requirements for submission of audit certificates without undermining sound financial management

Audit strategy focused on risk and fraud prevention

7. Improved rules on intellectual property

Balance between legal security and flexibility

Tailor-made IPR provisions for new forms of funding

A new emphasis on open access to research publications

Beyond the Rules: further simplified provisions in the Grant Agreement and implementing procedures to facilitate access to Horizon 2020 (e.g. common IT platform).
