Transport main challenges

• GHG emissions – climate + health impacts

• Oil dependency - volatile oil prices

• Congestion – liveability of cities

• Infrastructure capacity vs mobility demand

• Urbanisation – role of public transport

• Demographic trends – ageing populations

• Global competition

Policy goals: efficiency and sustainability Contribute to EU Transport Policy goals and other priorities: Growth and Jobs, Energy Union, Digital Single Market, …

• Resource efficiency vs. climate change and oil dependency Transport accounts for 32% of all energy consumption

Boost alternative fuels and infrastructure • Curb noxious emissions, improve air quality

24% of CO2, 20% of GHG come from transport 400 000 premature deaths in EU, 1/5 due to transport

Achieve the 2030 energy-climate targets: GHG -40%, 27% renewables, 27% energy savings

• Network capacity and modal shift vs saturation and congestion Congestion costs: 1 to 2 % of GDP

30% of road freight > 300 km moving to rail/water by 2030 • Smart solutions for safety and security 26000 road fatalities/year Vision zero: ½ road fatalities by 2020 (vs 2010), towards none by 2050 • Fierce international competition

Expanding markets but shrinking market shares Innovate to preserve market-shares and jobs

and Support the Goals of European Strategy for Low Emission Mobility (COM(2016)501 F)

Low emission mobility: an essential component of the shift to the low-carbon, circular economy

• Optimising the transport system Digital mobility Fair and efficient pricing in road transport Multimodality • Moving Towards zero-emission Vehicles Fundamental changes to vehicle emissions' measurement were made Post-2020 strategy for cars and vans Post-2020 strategy for lorries, buses and coaches • Scaling up the use of low-emission alternative energy resources Legislation on renewable energy sources and methodology for fuel price comparison Remove obstacles to electro-mobility (esp. Lack of standardisation & interoperability) By Nov 2016, MS will report policy frameworks for rolling-out electric recharging points, natural gas filling stations(optionally; also hydrogen) • Enabling Environment Energy Union Strategy: linking transport & energy; Research, Innovation & competitiveness; Investments; Actions by cities; International actions (ICAO & IMO)

Objectives of Societal Challenge 4 'Smart, green and integrated Transport':

• Achieving a European transport system that is: • resilient • resource-efficient • climate and environmentally friendly • safe • seamless • competitive

…and that benefits citizens, economy and society

The Specific Programme Four lines of activities:

1. Resource efficient transport that respects the environment

2. Better mobility, less congestion, more safety and security

3. Global leadership for the European transport industry

4. Socio-economic and behavioural research and forward looking activities for policy making

…. Having complementarities with:

• Clean Sky 2 • SESAR • Shift2Rail • FCH2 • TEN-T and CEF

TEN-T / CEF Complementarity and synergies

• TEN-T "Guidelines" as policy basis, focussing action on multi-modal core network (completion target 2030) and on far-reaching standards to enable a smart, green and integrated transport system

• CEF as main TEN-T funding instrument 2014 – 2020, including a broad range of priorities to stimulate smart, green and integrated solutions

• Around Euro 260 million, for example, already allocated under the priority "Innovation" in two CEF calls; thereby mobilising a total investment of Euro 485 million

• Coordination of funding action under both CEF and Horizon 2020 is provided for in legislation and in implementation process

Key steps to the Grant Agreement Process

#H2020TransportInfo

Grant Agreement Preparation (GAP)

• After the evaluation, successful proposals get an invitation letter to start the Grant Agreement Preparation

• Very tight deadlines

• New in H2020: no negotiation

• The proposal has been evaluated according to its merits • No substantial changes during the GAP • No negotiation also applies to proposers

Objective

• Convert the Proposal to a Grant Agreement

• Electronic process via the Participant Portal • Following the legal and financial rules of Horizon 2020 • In line with the outcome of the evaluation (ESR) • Annex 1 part A (participant data) and part B (description of

action) • Annex 2 estimated budget

Key Steps

• Start: information letter to proposers (max 5 months after call deadline)

• End: grant agreement signature (max 8 months after call deadline) • In between:

• Max 2/3 weeks after start: submission of draft Annex 1 • Max 6 weeks after start:

• Submission of final version of Annex 1 and Annex 2 • (All) legal entities validated • (All) legally authorised representatives assigned (LEARs) • (All) Declarations of Honour signed

What happens after the first 6 weeks?

• Internal Validation of GAP results • Programme Committee consultation (Member States) • Commission Decision • Signing the grant agreement (first coordinator on behalf of

the consortium, then Commission)

• This process may take another 6 weeks

• All other beneficiaries have 30 days after Commission signature to sign Form A (accession form to the grant agreement)

• Consortium agreement signed before start of the action

Issues arising

• For coordinator: • Financial viability

• For all beneficiaries: • Non responsive entities: validation of legal entities delayed • Introduction of Linked Third Parties and validation of the links

(delay in providing legally approved documents) • Insufficiently clear description of Other Direct Costs,

subcontracts, etc. in Annex 1 • Predefined subcontractors in proposals: applicable procedures

to be followed and value for money to be ensured • Consistency between Annex 1 and Annex 2

Issues arising: Ethics screening

• All proposals invited for GAP are screened on Ethics issues • Outcome is an Ethics Report:

• Clearance • Conditional Clearance: ethics requirements • (Recommendation for) in depth Ethics Assessment: ethics

requirements

• Ethics requirements are addressed either: • In Annex 1 - part B, section "Ethics" and/or - In a deliverable submitted by month 3, addressing all

ethics requirements

Tips and tricks for successful proposals

Industry led

Certain countries

Lobby It’s only 10 pages

Myth

Four critical factors for a successful proposal

1. A strong concept 2. A suitable call 3. A strong team 4. A strong impact plan

5. A little bit of luck

A strong project concept

• What do you want to achieve? • Show how will it meet the requirements of the

call • Something new, something big

A strong project team

• A core group that shares the vision • All partners must be there for a reason • Roles

• Steering the project direction • Conducting the project activities • Implementing the project results

• Friends and professionals

• Be specific • Who will use the project results

• Partners? • Policymakers? • Industry?

• How can you demonstrate each partner and stakeholder will achieve the impact?

A strong impact plan

• Plan ahead – don’t wait for the call to open • Write for an informed, non-native English speaker • Make it interesting for the reviewers

Concise, attractive and clear Narrative, diagrams, images Shorter is better • Don’t expect reviewers to assume • Use the H2020 on-line resources

The proposal

Brexit

• UK is still a member of the EU – nothing has changed yet

• UK has committed to support UK researchers if they become ineligible for H2020 funds

• Continue to work with UK partners!
