WP 2016-2017-INNOVATION IN SMEIn 2016-17, all topics using the SME

instrument are grouped in a continuously open common call.

Activities aiming at supporting innovative SMEs of the ICT sector through the dedicated SME instrument are grouped in a single call (for a better innovation support) part of the ‘Innovation in SMEs’ work programme.

WP 2016-2017Cross-cutting activities’ combining

contributions from the ‘Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies’ priority and ‘Societal Challenges’ are also grouped together in a specific work programme Cross-cutting activities (Focus Areas)

Excellent Sciencee-Infrastructures ARE INCLUDED IN THE EUROPEAN

REASEARCH INFRASTRUCTURES WP 2016-2017The e-infrastructures call for 2016-17 will support the

European policies on open research data, data and computing intensive science, research and education networking, high-performance computing and big data innovation.

This call is structured along the following two themes:• Theme 1 – Integration and consolidation of e-

infrastructure platforms supporting European policies and research and education communities,

• Theme 2 – Prototyping innovative e-infrastructure platforms and services for research and education communities, industry and the citizens at large.

SME INSTRUMENT – ODI SMEinst-01-2016-2017 - Open Disruptive InnovationScheme

The challenge is to provide support to a large set of high risk innovative Startups and SMEs in the ICT sector. Focus will be on companies proposing disruptive ICT concepts, products and services applying new sets of rules, values and models which ultimately create new markets (e.g. by tackling non consumption) or disrupt existing markets.

The objective of the ODI is threefold: 1. Nurture promising innovative and disruptive ideas; 2. Support prototyping and scalability of disruptive solutions through

validation and demonstration in real world conditions; 3. Promote wider deployment and/or market uptake.

Proposed projects should have a potential for disruptive innovation and fast market up-take. The action is particularly well suited for start-up and young innovative SMEs that are looking for swift support to their innovative idea

Societal challengesSC1 – Health, demographic change and

wellbeingICT, which does have a prominent role in this

societal challenge, is addressed in dedicated topics in three parts of call ‘Personalised Medicine’:

active ageing and self-management of health,

methods and data,coordination activities.

13

WP – Health, demographic change and wellbeing

to promote healthy and active ageing, to promote market growth, job creation, and the EU as a global leader

personalised healthcare research priorities: personalised medicine, rare

diseases, human bio-monitoring, mental health, comparative effectiveness research, advanced technologies, e/m-health, robotics, patient empowerment, active and healthy ageing, data security, big data, valorisation, anti-microbial resistance, infectious diseases including vaccines, maternal and child health and the silver economy.

Horizon 2020 SME Instrument

18 March was the first cut-off date in 2015 for Horizon 2020 SME Instrument. EASME received in total 2,183 new proposals - 1,569 for Phase 1 and 614 for Phase 2.

The chart below details the number of proposals received by topic and the number of participants in the projects per country.

21

Fase I - Proof-of-conceptanalisi della fattibilità tecnico-scientifica e del

potenziale economico-commerciale dell’idea progettuale. 

analisi dello stato dell’arte, la valutazione del rischio, l’analisi del regime della proprietà intellettuale, la ricerca di eventuali partner, l’analisi di mercato e lo sviluppo della strategia di commercializzazione 

La proposta in fase 1 consiste nella presentazione di un Busines Plan I (formulario di dieci pagine)

Finanziamento/durata: contributo forfettario di 50.000 euro per un progetto della durata di 6 mesi.

22

Fase II – Sviluppo e dimostrazione: si tratta del progetto vero e proprio, della

realizzazione dell’idea progettuale e dello sviluppo di nuovi (o migliorati) prodotti, servizi o tecnologie innovative, pronte per essere commercializzate. Le attività si incentrano su sviluppo del prototipo su scala industriale

Finanziamento/durata: co-finanziamento al 70% per proposte il cui finanziamento comunitario si aggira tra 0.5 e 2.5 milioni di euro. La durata indicativa del progetto va dai 12 ai 24 mesi.

23

Fase III - Commercializzazione: non prevede un finanziamento diretto ma

solo un supporto nel facilitare al finanziamento privato e ad ulteriori opportunità che permettono di immettere l’innovazione sul mercato e garantire il supporto al progetto anche nel lungo periodo.
