HORIZON2020

What is Horizon2020?

• The biggest EU Research and Innovation programme ever with nearly €80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020)

• Horizon 2020 is the financial instrument implementing the Innovation Union• Innovation Union is EU strategy to create an innovation-

friendly environment that makes it easier for great ideas to be turned into products and services that will bring Europe economy growth and jobs.

What is Horizon2020?

• The goal is to ensure Europe produces world-class science, removes barriers to innovation and makes it easier for the public and private sectors to work together in delivering innovation.

• Horizon 2020 is open to everyone, with a simple structure that reduces time so participants can focus on what is really important.

COST European Cooperation in Science and Technology

• What is Cost?• For 40 years COST has supported networking of research

activities across all its 36 Member countries and beyond

• COST is open to all disciplines and all novel and ground-breaking S&T ideas, and to all categories of partners where mutual benefit is real

• COST enables break-through scientific developments leading to new concepts and products and thereby contributes to strengthen Europe’s research and innovation capacities

Cost Countries

What is Cost Action?

Science and Technology Network with a duration of four years and a minimum participation of five COST Member Countries, and is organised through a range of networking tools:• Meetings (MC, WG)• Conferences• Workshops,• Short-term scientific exchanges• Training schools, • Publications & dissemination activities

COST Science and Technology Activities

• Working Group Meetings• Coordinate the research work • Prepare reports to MC

• Workshops and Conferences• To serve the scientific Action objectives and acts as a showcase for

the activities of the Action. • Dissemination Meetings

• To showcase an Action at e.g. relevant conference in the field• Training Schools

• Provide intensive training on a subject that contributes to the aim of the Action

• If applicable, offer familiarization with unique equipment or know-how in one of the laboratories of the Action

COST Science and Technology Activities

• Short Term Scientific Missions • all researchers from participating countries, but preference for

Early Stage Researchers (PhD + 8 years), PhD students…

• fostering collaboration, learn a new technique or take measurements using instruments not available in their own institution (excellent mean to produce joint research)

• Dissemination (publications, website and outreach activities)
