The EU Framework Programme for Research an Innova 2014-2020
The basics 1: what is Horizon 2020 Commission proposal for a 80 billion euro 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
The basics 2: 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) 2013-09-16 Bild 12
The basics 3: three priorities Excellent science Industrial leadership Societal challenges Bild 13
Excellent Science 33% ERC European Research Council Marie Sklodowska-Curie FET Future and Emerging Technologies Research Infrastructures Industrial Leadership 24% Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies (ICT, nanotechnologies, materials, biotechnology, manufacturing, space) Access to risk finance Innovation in SMEs Societal Challenges 43% Health, demographic change and wellbeing Food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry, marine and maritime and inland water research Secure, clean and efficient energy Smart, green and integrated transport Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials Europe in a changing world - Inclusive, innovative and reflective societies Secure societies - Protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens.

1. Excellent Science To raise the level of excellence in Europe's science base, make Europe an attractive location for researchers and secure Europe's long-term competitiveness European Research Council supporting the most talented and creative individuals and their teams to carry out frontier research; Future and Emerging Technologies collaborative research to open up new and promising fields of research and innovation; Marie Curie actions, providing researchers with excellent training and career development opportunities; Research Infrastructures accessible to all researchers in Europe and beyond. 15
2. Industrial leadership To make Europe a more attractive location to invest in R&I, by promoting activities where businesses set the agenda Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies especially Key enabling technologies (Micro- and nano-electronics; photonics; nanotechnologies; Biotechnology etc); Access to finance for innovative enterprises, financial instruments in partnership with the European Investment Bank; Innovation in SME 16
3. Societal challenges Actions from research to market with a new focus on innovation-related activities (in the framework of Europe 2020): 1. Health, demographic change and wellbeing 2. Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research, and the bio-economy 3. Secure, clean and efficient energy 4. Smart, green and integrated transport 5. Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials 6. Inclusive, innovative and reflective societies* 7. Secure societies* * as modified by Council and EP 17

The H2020 Work Programme Principles There can be only one One single work programme to underline the integration and seamlessness of Horizon 2020* Cover two years with all details, including budget In order to mirror the Strategic Programme, tentative information for the third year; Readily accessible to users and newcomers. Web tools will be used to enhance the user-experience; The objective is to have sub-challenge topics and to avoid shopping lists of prescriptive topics; * With the exception of the ERC and the actions by the JRC and the EIT. Slide 34
The H2020 Work Programme Content I The focus areas: The focus areas should stand out. The general principle should be that a focus area has a dedicated call, which describes a substantial set of implementation actions. Importantly, all challenges and enabling technologies should contribute to those focus areas that are relevant. A consistent approach is to be applied for the development of the focus areas through a common check list to be developed, making sure all key elements are covered, including: Identifying a portfolio of actions across the innovation chain; Incorporating different perspectives (e.g. gender, SSH, international, cooperation); Complementing other partnership initiatives in the area. Slide 35
The H2020 Work Programme Content II All parts, including focus areas: As a general principle, topic descriptions should be drafted in the form of sub-challenges, particularly under the societal challenges, to allow flexibility on the side of the applicants Descriptions should include statements outlining the expected impact, to be referenced during the evaluation process; Conditions on the content of the proposed work, consortium make-up, length of project, etc. should be kept to a minimum; Topics should integrate key horizontal issues like, for instance, gender aspects, social-economic sciences and humanities etc. Slide 36

Pre-commercial procurement (PCP) and public procurement of innovative solutions (PPI) Societal Challenges: explicit references to support for procurement of research and innovation Industrial Leadership: support to PCP and PPI highlighted as essential aspects in addressing competitiveness SME instrument: follow-up support in phase 3 through services such as help to SMEs in accessing opportunities for public procurement of innovation Support to PCP by research infrastructure actors to drive forward innovation and act as early adopters of technologies 40
Prizes Beyond traditional interventions to include a wider range of actors: Easy and broad access for contestants with lower administrative barrier (simplification for the beneficiaries and the administration); Result-driven: pay only for results; Leverage effect: prizes stimulate private sector investment that is 10 or even 20 times greater than the cash value of the prize* Public relations: attracting interest and attention to a specific issue of social concern Commercialisation: prizes identify and publicise innovations, engaging investors and innovators to take new solutions to market * http://www.mckinsey.com/app_media/reports/sso/and_the_winner_is.pd f (page 25) 41
Simplifications? Regler för deltagande: ett projekt en finansieringsmodell Arbetet med att skriva ansökningar blir mindre tidskrävande, Antalet felaktiga redovisningar av indirekta kostnader försvinner, Validering av vilken typ av deltagare som ingår i forskningsprojekten behövs ej, Tiden mellan ansökan och besked om beviljande respektive utbetalning förkortas, Det krävs mindre omfattande efterkontroller.
