  9. Horizon 2020Commission proposal

  10. EU budget 2014-2020 & Horizon 2020 Commission proposal of 29 June 2011 and 30 November 2011 Key challenge: to stabilise the financial and economic system while taking measures to create economic opportunities (cf. R&I) EU budget € 1,025bn Horizon 2020 € 80bn

  11. Horizon 2020: What’s new? • A single programme bringing together three separate programmes/initiatives (FP7, CIP, EIT) • Coupling research to innovation - from research to retail, all forms of innovation • Simplified accessfor all companies, universities, institutes in all EU countries and beyond • Focus on three pillars: • Excellent science • Industrial leadership • Societal challenges

  12. Excellent science • 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

  13. Excellent science (M€, 2014-20)

  14. Industrial leadership Why: • Strategic investments in key technologies (e.g. advanced manufacturing, micro-electronics) underpin innovation across existing and emerging sectors • Europe needs to attract more private investment in research and innovation • Europe needs more innovative SMEs to create growth and jobs

  15. Industrial leadership (M€, 2014-20)

  16. Societal challenges Why: • Concerns of citizens and society/EU policy objectives (climate, environment, energy, transport etc) cannot be achieved without innovation • Breakthrough solutions come from multi-disciplinary collaborations, including social sciences & humanities • Promising solutions need to be tested, demonstrated and scaled up

  17. Societal challenges (M€, 2014-20) *Additional M€ 1788 for nuclear safety and security from the Euratom Treaty activities (2014-18). Does not include ITER.

  18. SSH in Horizon 2020 • Included in the Societal Challenge 'Inclusive, innovative and secure societies' • Integrated in all Societal Challenges • Supported through the 'Excellent Science' part of H2020 (ERC, Marie Curie and Infrastructures) • The Societal Challenges will bring together different technologies, sectors, scientific disciplines, social sciences and humanities, and innovation actors to find new solutions to these challenges  • Humanistic, cultural, artistic and fine arts perspective are included within the 'Social innovation" framework of the Societal Challenge ' Inclusive, innovative and secure societies'

  19. Horizon 2020: Next steps • Ongoing: Parliament and Council negotiations on EU budget 2014-20 (including R&I) and Horizon 2020 • Mid 2013: Adoption of legislative acts by Parliament and Council on Horizon 2020 • 1 January 2014: Horizon 2020 starts; launch of 1stcalls

  20. Open access in FP7 • What it means in practice: • Best effort: strongly encourages researchers & publishers to comply, while guaranteeing scientific freedom • Seek information • If publishers' policies do not allow compliance, authors request authorisation to self-archive or negotiate amendment with publishers • If negotiations unsuccessful, consider submitting to another journal • If cannot comply with SC39, inform EC with e.g. publisher’s proof of refusal • Further information: More on Open Access and the Commission: http://ec.europa.eu/research/science-society/open_access Guide to IP Rules for FP7 projects: ftp://ftp.cordis.europa.eu/pub/fp7/docs/ipr_en.pdf Find support for the Pilot with OpenAIRE: www.openaire.eu
