The future “As in a glass darkly”
What is new? • Growth, Jobs & Competitiveness • Better articulation of research and innovation • Seamless funding from idea to market • A single programme (FP7 + CIP + EIT) • Strong focus on societal challenges (game changing for ICT…) • More innovation • Reaching out to non-traditional actors • More risk taking • Strengthened support for high-tech SMEs • More open, light & fast schemes
Innovation • Activities directly aiming at producing plans and arrangements for new, altered or improved products, processes or services • May include: Protyping, Testing, Demonstrating, Piloting, Large-scale product validation and Market replication
H2020: What’s Important? Industrial leadership SocietalChallenges Excellent Science
European Parliament Council Generation of H2020 Commission Horizon 2020 Legislation Commission Communication The proposal The three documents Establishing Regulation Rules for the participation and dissemination Independent expert input Specific programme Member State oversight Advisory Groups & Stakeholder Groups On 25 June 2013, political agreement was reached ProgrammeCommittees Multi-annual Work Programmes (with indicative budget) http://ec.europa.eu/research/horizon2020/index_en.cfm?pg=h2020-documents
Main elements ofThe H2020 Compromise A simple funding model:. • 100% Direct Costs + 25% [70% for Innovation only] • Time-to-grant of 8 months ("5 + 3 months”) • Guidelines on the transfer of indirect to direct costs for large research infrastructures. Some new activities • "Spreading excellence and widening participation" and "Science with and for society" are addressed as separate parts outside the three main pillars. • New Societal Challenge 7 on "Secure Societies". • New activities on cross-cutting marine and maritime research (Challenge 2) and Cultural heritage (Challenges 5 and 6). Dedication of budgets to key topics: SME Research & Innovation, Energy and FET • Target of at least 20% of the combined budget of LEIT and Societal Challenges for SMEs. • 5% [> 7% ] of the combined budget of LEIT and Societal Challenges will be distributed through the SME instrument • Energy, 85% of the budget is set for non-fossil fuel energy research; rest dedicated to fossil fuel related energy research • 40% of the FET budget is earmarked for FET Open.
Main elements ofThe H2020 Compromise Fast Track to Innovation Pilot: • A Fast Track to Innovation pilot is to be launched in 2015 : • For close-to-market actions maxima: of 5 partners and 3M€ per project • open calls with three cut-off deadlines per year • fast time to grant • project will not require Programme Committee approval. • covering all fields across Industrial Leadership and Societal Challenges Pillars • The pilot will include a sufficient number of projects to allow for an in depth evaluation that will be part of the mid-term evaluation of H2020. Future implementation of the Fast Track will be decided on the basis of the evaluation results. Derogations from the Rules of Participation for JTIs • Derogations from the Rules for Participation for JTIs are restricted to specified areas and are to be adopted by delegated acts. Revenues and repayments of the financial instruments • Derogation from the Financial Regulation will permit both revenues and repayments to be returned to the financial instruments.
What sort of projects? • Collaborative Projects: • CP 100% / 70% pka STREP, IP • Public Private Partnerships, • Joint Technology Initiatives • MS Collaborative ERANET, FET Flagships • Pilots A?, B • Cooperation & Support aka CSA,….. • Market stimulation • Pre Commercial Procurement • Public Procurement of Innovation • ETC: • Prizes, IP, International Cooperation, Financial Support, FET Proactive, … • Continuous submission: • FET(open), Fast Innovation(2015 ----), SME
