Innovation and Growth "Innovation is by far the most important driver of growth and productivity. As much as 85% of productivity growth in modern, developed economies is the direct result of innovation." Plan I, Innovation for Europe, Nesta & The Lisbon Council
WHAT HAS CHANGED IN H2020? New emphasis in the programme: Innovation and its impact New instruments: Research innovation actions Innovation actions Innovation procurement Inducement prices SME instrument Fast track to innovation => Please note: The criteria for assessing the impact in the evaluation depends on the instrument.
Criterion 2 Impact (used for Research and Innovation Actions) Note: The following aspects will be taken into account, to the extent to which the outputs of the project should contribute at the European and/or International level: The expected impacts listed in the work programme under the relevant topic Enhancing innovation capacity and integration of new knowledge Strengthening the competitiveness and growth of companies by developing innovations meeting the needs of European and global markets and where relevant, by delivering such innovations to the markets Any other environmental and socially important impacts (not already covered above) Effectiveness of the proposed measures to exploit and disseminate the project results(including management of IPR), to communicate the project, and to manage research data where relevant
Criterion 2 Impact, Non-exhaustive examples of differences between the instruments: Additionally for Pre-Commercial Procurement More forward-looking concerted procurement approaches that reduce fragmentation of demand for innovative solutions Additionally for Innovation Action global markets, and where relevant, by delivering such innovations to the markets communicate the project, and to manage research data where relevant innovation management SME Instrument, Phase 2 Enhancing profitability and growth performance of SMEs by combining and transferring new and existing knowledge into innovative, disruptive and competitive solutions seizing European and global business opportunities. Market uptake and distribution of innovations tackling the specific challenges in a sustainable way. Increase of private investment in innovation, notably leverage of private co-investor and/or follow-up investments.
Further needs for development of the impact to support the EU policies*) Drive innovation activities towards user adoption Improve ability to produce impact at large scale and impact on a sustained basis in innovation ecosystems across Europe Become smarter in the use of these instruments Concretely: More large scale experimentation and support to user take up More targeted support to SMEs and startups Using the SME instrument to stimulate disruptive innovation for specific ICT technology areas or societal challenges. More concerted support for demand-side instruments Stepping up the use of inducement prizes Include support actions for standardisation Ensure continuous support to the Innovation Radar Encourage synergies between Horizon 2020 and ESIF for innovation roadmaps => There will be an interim assessment of Horizon 2020 in 2016 that will assess the whole programme with regards to its expected impacts. *) The items described here do not necessarily reflect the formal position of the Commission.
