Introduction to Horizon2020
Horizon 2020 The European Union programme for research and innovation for 2014-2020 Key instrument to stimulate and leverage R&I investment for securing Europe's future Integration of research and innovation activities aimed at delivering more breakthroughs and discoveries Focus on societal challenges facing EU society
The Process Each area has a Work Programme Topics, calls for proposals Fixed deadlines for proposers to submit proposals Proposals evaluated and ranked based on:- Excellence Implementation Impact Proposals funded based on ranking list 8 months to contract
Types of actions supported by grants Research and innovation actions Innovation actions Coordination and support actions SME instrument ERANET Co-fund Pre-commercial procurement Co-fund Public procurement of innovative solutions Co-fund
Research and innovation actions Action 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. Projects may contain closely connected but limited demonstration or pilot activities aiming to show technical feasibility in a near to operational environment. Funding rate: 100%
Innovation actions Action 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. A demonstration or pilot aims to validate the technical and economic viability of a new or improved technology, product, process, service or solution in an operational (or near to operational) environment, whether industrial or otherwise, involving where appropriate a larger scale prototype or demonstrator. A market replication aims to support the first application/deployment in the market of an innovation that has already been demonstrated but not yet applied/deployed in the market due to market failures/barriers to uptake. 'Market replication' does not cover multiple applications in the market of an innovation14 that has already been applied successfully once in the market. First means new at least to Europe or new at least to the application sector in question. Often such projects involve a validation of technical and economic performance at system level in real life operating conditions provided by the market. Projects may include limited research and development activities. Funding rate: 70% (except for non-profit legal entities, where a rate of 100% applies)
Coordination and Support Actions Actions consisting primarily of accompanying measures such as standardisation, dissemination, awareness-raising and communication, networking, coordination or support services, policy dialogues and mutual learning exercises and studies, including design studies for new infrastructure and may also include complementary activities of strategic planning, networking and coordination between programmes in different countries Funding rate: 100%
Simplified Funding Model 1 reimbursement rate by action: Up to 100% for research and innovation actions Up to 70% for innovation and programme co-fund actions (non-profit entities up to 100%) 1 method for calculation of indirect costs: Flat rate of 25% of total direct costs, excluding subcontracting, costs of third parties and financial support to third parties Certificate on financial statements: When cumulated amount 325,000EUR (actual costs + average personnel costs) To be submitted with the request for payment of balance
Conditions for participation Minimum conditions For standard collaborative actions At least, 3 legal entities, each established in different MS/AC For SME Instrument, programme co-fund, CSA 1 legal entity established in a MS/AC Additional conditions To be set out in the Work Programme (i.e. number of participants, type of participants, etc.)
Evaluation of proposals Award criteria Excellence Impact Higher weighting for innovation actions Implementation Details, weightings and thresholds will be outlined in WP Evaluation carried out by independent experts Possibility of a 2 stage submission procedure
Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in a nutshell - Results Ownership Beneficiary generating the results Joint-ownership in specific circumstances Protection If results capable of commercial/industrial exploitation If not protected, EU may assume ownership Exploitation Best efforts obligation; WP may foresee additional obligations Transfer and exclusive licences to a third country EC may object (competitiveness, ethical principles, security) Dissemination Open access to scientific publications and under certain conditions to research data

Topological matter (indicative project size 4-5MEuro, indicative total budget 10MEuro) Total: 88 Meuro. Call deadline: 22/03/2018
Artificial organs, tissues, cells and sub-cellular structures Proposals should aim at engineering biological, artificial or hybrid subcellular systems (e.g., synapses, organelles, vesicles), highly specific cell assemblies (including microbial), tissues, organs or multi-organ systems. Exploit recent advances in integrative biology (including modelling and simulation) and bio-engineering Combine the growing understanding of genome, proteome, metabolome and cell behaviour with strategies for the engineering and use of biological and hybrid functional constructs Possible long-term research targets include: synthetic cell building organ reproduction, replacement, control or repair high-throughput organ- and body-on-chip technologies for the development of personalised treatment, drugs or vaccines Ethical issues should be properly addressed
Time This proactive is about new technological possibilities inspired by notions of time, not seen as a given and singular background against which things unfold, but rather as a resource that can be experienced and used in different ways. Possible research areas proposals could address include: technologies for subjective time awareness (and its neural basis) and distortion the role of time in processes like aging, healing, learning or evolution and how this can be influenced understanding non-linear temporality in complex systems New ways to represent, modulate, duplicate or experience and use time could come from technologies in, for instance: extreme electronics/photonics data-streams analytics time aware artificial intelligence virtual and augmented reality bio-engineering or neuroprosthetics
Living technologies Proposals should develop new functional biological, technological or hybrid artefacts with features of living systems such as physical autonomy, growth, interaction and enaction, adaptation and evolution. This could involve, for example: hybrid materials and systems with programmable features of shape, structure, functionality and evolvability possibly starting from naturally existing complexes research on multi-level mathematics and complexity of living systems or the boundaries/characteristics of life could be a part of the work proposed Proposals could use relevant results from evolutionary biology, ethology, micro-, plant- and animal biology, synthetic biology, systems biology and /or chemical biology Ethical issues should be addressed
Socially interactive technologies This addresses technologies to support deeper social interaction between people in groups which range in size from pairs to crowds This new socially interactive media should facilitate building trust and understanding, social integration, engagement, collaboration, learning, creativity, entertainment, education and wellbeing Proposals should include novel combinations of social sciences and humanities with neuroscience, engineering and computing to develop new experimental tools and paradigms These tools could take into account, for example, context, culture, emotion, and factors of embodiment and cognition Ethical issues and the gender dimension should be addressed
Disruptive micro-energy and storage technologies Proposals should address novel technologies for local (close to where needed) energy generation, capture or storage This proactive covers: Technologies for micro-energy or nano-scale energy generation, transfer, dissipation and conversion bio-inspired energy technologies the use of soft or intelligent materials new types of batteries Smart integration of novel energy sources within hybrid/distributed energy systems can be addressed Sustainability and environmental impact issues should be addressed.
Topological matter This topic addresses new materials exploiting interactions between quantum effects and topology Topological insulators already studied possible applications in spintronics Other material properties can be addressed applications in photonics, mechanics (eg elasticity, acoustics), superconductivity and plasmas are possible examples Proposals should go beyond pure physics and mathematics Prototypes should be built, tested and benchmarked Methodology should include an engineering approach for using the quantum effects of wave-matter interactions in novel components
