Head lines
What is Horizon 2020?
• Originally : a Commission proposal of €80 billion for 2014-2020 bringing together three separate programs / initiatives (RFP, CIP, EIT)
• Now a guarantee of a budget ≥ RFP + CIP + EIT ≈ €71 billion
• A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union & European Research Area to :
Tackle the economic crises investing in growth and future jobs,
Address people’s concerns about their standard of living, safety and environment,
Strengthen the Europe’s global place in research, innovation and technology.
Priority 1 – Scientific Excellence
WHY?
• World class science is the foundation of tomorrow’s technologies, jobs and wellbeing
• Europe needs to develop, attract and retain research talent
• Researchers need access to the best infrastructures
Priority 2 – Industrial leadership
WHY?
• Strategic investments in key technologies (e.g. advanced manufacturing, microelectronics) underpin innovation across existing and emerging sectors
• Europe needs more innovative SMEs to create growth and jobs
• Europe needs to attract more private investment in research and innovation
Priority 3 – Societal challenges
WHY?
• Concerns of citizens and society/EU policy objectives (climate, environment, energy, transport etc)
• Breakthrough solutions come from multidisciplinary collaborations, including social sciences & humanities
• Promising solutions need to be tested, demonstrated and scaled up
Key novelties in Horizon 2020• A single program bringing together three
separate programs / initiatives :The Research Framework ProgramCompetitiveness and Innovation Framework ProgramEU contribution to the European Institute of Innovation
and Technology (EIT)
• Coupling research to innovation - from research to retail, all forms of innovation
• Focus on societal challenges facing EU society, e.g. health, clean energy and transport
• Simplified access for all companies, universities, institutes in all EU countries and beyond.
• Targeted thematic :• Societal challenges of Horizon 2020• Investments, research infrastructures, products• Market access’ opportunities• Contribution to global commitments (MDG, Rio+20)
• Geographic differentiation :• Industrial countries and emerging economies• Enlargement and neighbourhood countries, EFTA• Developing countries

Participation rules’ simplification
• Single set of simpler and more coherent participation rules
• New balance between trust and control
• Moving from several funding rates for different beneficiaries and activities to just two
• Replacing the four methods to calculate overhead or «indirect costs» with a single flat rate
• Major simplification under the forthcoming financial regulation
• Successful applicants to get working more quickly: reduction of average time to grant by 100 days (current average of around 350 days under FP7)
