3. Fourmostimportantelementsfor R&D&I in Strategy Europa 2020 (Lead Initiatives) • Innovation Union • Digital Agenda Europe • Resource efficient Europe • An Industrial Policy for the globalization era Dr. Maly Jülich

4. Major fieldsofthestrategy EU 2020 in theareaof R&D&I • Innovation partnerships (elements of Innovation Union) • Horizon 2020 • Structural funds • Agricultural funds • An increased cooperation between these elements is one of the targets of Europa 2020 in the area R&D&I Dr. Maly Jülich

5. European Innovation PartnershipsConcept in the Communication ofthe der COM „Innovation Union of 06. Oktober 2010 • No new Instrument, but a Concept to coordinate expertise,resources and Actions on EU- and MS-Level • Covering of the Supply side (eg. R&D-Funding) and the Demand side (eg. Procurement, norms and standards) • Schedule: Proposals for selection criteria and processes of the EIP were presented in 2010; proposals for themes from February 2011 on; Communication of the COM in June 2011 with details about governance and performance; first evaluation of the proces End 2011 • EIP is an integral part of the Sectoral policies • Integration of the relevant, already existing activitieslike JP, JTI or LMI Dr. Maly Jülich

6. Present state of the EIP • Pilot action „Active and Healthy Aging“ AHA is running, Steering High Level Group is active, Strategic Plan published • In preparation are • EIP „Raw Materials“ (neenergeticke suroviny) • EIP „Water Efficient Europe“ (hospodarne vyuzivani vody v Evrope) • EIP „Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability” (produktivita a udrzitelnost zemedelstvi) • In case of positive evaluation of the pilot EIP EU COM will launch the second wave of EIP in 2012 Dr. Maly Jülich

7. HORIZON 2020 – main European source for support of R&D&I • Horizon 2020 will be from 2014 on the most important element of the support of research and innovation in the EU • Official proposal was presented by EU COM 30.11.2011 • A political process has been launched which prepares a decision of the European Parliament and European Council expected for Summer 2013 • In parallel the process has been initiated also for the Rules for participation and dissemination of the results COM(2011) 810 final • And Specific Programmes which describe in more detail the content of the programme Dr. Maly Jülich

8. HORIZON 2020 – Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (2014-2020) Priorities of EU 2020 ERA Int. Coop • Excellent science • European Research Council • Marie Curie actions • Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) • Research infrastructures (including e-infrastructures) • Societal challenges • Health, demographic change and wellbeing • Food security, marine research, bio-economy • Secure, clean and efficient energy • Smart, green and integrated transport • Climate action and resource efficiency • Inclusive, innovative and secure societies. • Industrial leadership • ICT, nanotechnologies, advanced materials, biotechnology, advanced manufacturing and processing, and space; • Access to risk finance • Support innovation in for SMEs Simplified approach, common rules Coherent approach with other EU and MS actions Dr. Maly Jülich

9. New aspectsofHorizon 2020 • New structure with 1 Spec. Progr. (+ EIT+JRC) • Proposed budget 87 bn €, higher than 7. FWP • Stronger orientation towards applications • Some funding schemes go much closer to the market • Providing a wider spectrum of support for innovation: Financing instruments both debt and equity oriented • Closer connection to to other EU-policies • More PPP with different targets • More frequent use of P2P Dr. Maly Jülich

10. Priority1: Excellent science • a) The European Research Council; • b) Future and Emerging Technologies; • c) Marie Curie actions • d) European research infrastructures (including e-Infrastructures) Dr. Maly Jülich

11. Priority 2: Industrial Leadership • a) Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies: • Information and Communication Technologies, • Nanotechnologies, • Advanced materials, • Biotechnology, • Advanced manufacturing and processing, • Space; • b) Access to risk finance; • c) Innovation in SMEs . Dr. Maly Jülich

12. Priority 3: Societal challenges • a) Health, demographic change and wellbeing; • b) Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research and the bio-economy; • c) Secure, clean and efficient energy; • d) Smart, green and integrated transport; • e) Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials ; • f) Inclusive, innovative and secure societies. Dr. Maly Jülich

13. EIT, JRC • European Institute for Innovation and Technology via its KICs • Second wave of KIC follows from 2013 on, third in 2018/19 • Joint Research Center: support of EU policies Dr. Maly Jülich

14. Comparisonofbudgets FP7 - Horizon 2020 Dr. Maly Jülich

15. General goalsof HORIZON 2020 • Achieving of European Research Area and increasing its efficiency • Coordination of national support for research and innovation across Europe. • Leverage effect on other public and private sources of financing • Strengthening of the cooperation between EU and third countries in the areas of common interest Dr. Maly Jülich

16. Changes in theRules forParticipationanddissemination • The same level of support for all participants • Level of support: 100% of eligible costs for research • 70% for prototyping, testing, demonstrating, … • And for co-funding of some international programmes • Overheads: 20% of the direct costs as a fixed rate; flat rate or lump sum possible if indicated in the work plan • Dissemination and exploitation obligations can be laid down in the grant agreement Dr. Maly Jülich

17. Elements of HORIZON in the 7. FWP • PPP (JTI, Recovery Plan PPP, EII) • P2P (Era-NET, ERA-NET+, Art. 185, JPI, SET) • FET-Flagships • Projects with high leverage Dr. Maly Jülich

18. Innovation acitivites in otherfieldsof EU-Policies • Via European Innovation Partnerships • Directly earmarked budgets for innovation activities in structural or agricultural funds • PPP and P2P ca also contribute to achieving of effective use of the resources • In the area of energy it is the Strategic Energy Technology Plan • Lead Market Initiatives, … Dr. Maly Jülich

19. Conclusions • Innovation takes a prominent role in European Policies • European Technology Platforms take further an important position regarding the determination of themes and tasks of research programmes • European Institute of Innovation and Technology: new themes are widely spread, the present KIC remain of high importance for technology • Use of new possibilities closer to market provides chances (and risks) for first users Dr. Maly Jülich
