New Paths for Funding

Horizon 2020 is quite different from FP7

Understanding the scope of opportunities for funding across Horizon 2020 – key to success for individual stakeholders

NMP in Excellent Scinece – FETFuture and Emerging Technologies

New area for funding NMP themes • FET Open – early-stage science research around new ideas for radically new technologies (bottom-up approach) 40 % of the overall FET budget

• FET Proactive – nurturing emerging themes and communities consolidation of promising technologies for industrial take-up

• FET Flagships – support to ambitious, large-scale, science- driven research focused on interdisciplinary S&T challenges Graphene Human Brain Project

Regional funding

Research and innovation centres developed with the contribution of EC Structural funds within FP7

In the period of the next 7 years – sustainable operation

Ground for new contributions to funding is being prepared through the development of Smart Regional Strategies
