Horizon 2020 Lennart Edblom Department of Computing Science Umeå University http://www.cs.umu.se HORIZON 2020 The New EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation 2014-2020 1
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 Total budget 80 billion Three priorities 32% Excellent science + EIT, JRC, Widening, SwfS 8% 22% Industrial leadership Societal challenges 38% 4 2
Excellent Science, ( million, 2014-2020) European Research Council (ERC) Frontier research by the best individual teams Future and Emerging Technologies Collaborative research to open new fields of innovation Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA) Opportunities for training and career development Research infrastructures (including e-infrastructure) Ensuring access to world-class facilities 13 095 2 696 6 162 2 488 Bottom-up Research focus, excellent science Industrial Leadership (LEIT) Excellent science Industrial leadership Societal challenges 6 3
Industrial Leadership LEIT Emphasis on areas of R&D with a strong industrial dimension Outcome oriented proposers are asked to demonstrate how the exploitation of results will generate the expected impact and contribute to the European economy Involvement of industrial participants, incl. SME s is crucial Cofinancing with ESIF is encouraged Industrial Leadership LEIT, 2014-15 ICT Key Enabling Technologies Micro- / nanoelectronics Nanotechnology Photonics Advanced materials Industrial biotechnology Advanced manufacturing technologies Space 1-2 calls each year 4

Research and innovation actions Actions primarily consisting of activities aiming to establish new knowledge and/or to explore the feasibility of a new or improved technology, product, process, service or solution. For this purpose they may include basic and applied research, technology development and integration, testing and validation on a small-scale prototype in a laboratory or simulated environment. No longer STREP s and IP s, but projects requesting a Small Contribution (2.5-4 M ) or a Large Contribution (>5 M ) Disclaimer : legally not binding Innovation actions Actions primarily consisting of activities directly aiming at producing plans and arrangements or designs for new, altered or improved products, processes or services. For this purpose they may include prototyping, testing, demonstrating, piloting, large-scale product validation and market replication. Disclaimer : legally not binding 11
