  1. Horizon 2020: INTRODUCTION Peter Walters ICT National Contact Point July 2014

  2. Funding Fundamentals The Big Picture • Projects addressing Research and / or Innovation, and • 125 % of Direct costs for Research – 87.5% for Innovation • Involving Partners from Multiple Countries • At least 3 • In Topics identified by The Commission’s Workprogramme • In response to specific calls for Proposals • By means of a Grant Agreement with The European Commission

  3. The 7th Research Framework Strengthen the scientific and technological base of European industry; Encourage Europe’s international competitiveness, while promoting research that supports EU policies. • Some Numbers: • Duration 7 Years 2007 - 2013 • ICT Grants: 7.7 B€ to 2302 projects • 2537 UK Participations in 1343 projects • Grant ~ 900 M € in projects spending 7.1B€

  4. Socio-economic goals 5. ICT for Health, Ageing Well, Inclusion and Governance 6. ICT for a low carbon economy 7. ICT for the Enterprise and Manufacturing 8. ICT for Learning and Access to Cultural Resources Public Private Partnerships Factory of the Future Green Car EnergyEfficientBuildings 1 Pervasive and Trusted Network and Service Infrastructures 2 Cognitive Systems and Robotics Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) 3 Alternative Paths to Components and Systems ENIAC ARTEMIS 4 Technologies for Digital Content and Languages FP7 ICT Areas of Research 2011-2013 Future Internet Technology roadblocks

  5. The future . . . . . . is now!

  6. H2020: What’s Important? Industrial leadership SocietalChallenges Excellent Science

  7. Main elements of H2020 A simple funding model: • 100% Direct Costs + 25%......... Faster time to grant, Less audits • Time-to-grant of 8 months ("5 + 3 months”) Dedication of budgets to key topics • SME Research & Innovation, Energy and FET Fast Track to Innovation Pilot: • A Fast Track to Innovation pilot is to be launched in 2015 : INNOVATION and Simplification

  8. Forms of funding • Grants • Direct financial contribution by way of donation in order to finance an action • Prizes • Financial contribution given as reward following a contest • Procurement • Supply of assets, execution of works or provision of services against payment • Financial instruments • Equity or quasi-equity investments; loans; guarantees; other risk-sharing instruments

  9. H2020 actions supported by grants • Research and innovation actions • Innovation actions • PPPs • JTIs • Pre-commercial procurement & Public procurement of innovative solutions Co-fund • Coordination and support actions • SME instrument Photonics, HPC, 5G, FoF, Green veh, etc ENIAC + ARTEMIS + EPoSS = ECSEL Think SBRI

  10. ICT in Industrial Leadership • A new generation of components and systems • Advanced Computing • Future Internet • Content technologies and information management • Robotics • Micro- and nano-electronic technologies, Photonics • ICT Cross-Cutting Activities • IoT, Human Centricity, Cyber Security • Horizontal ICT Innovation actions • Support: Finance, Entrepreneurship, Open Disruptive Innovation scheme • International Cooperation actions • Factory of the Future Call • EU-Brazil and EU-Japan Research R and Development Cooperation SocietalChallenges Industrial Leadership ExcellentScience http://www.ictic.org/h/doc%20index.html

  11. The ICT Current opportunity

  12. Is that all ???

  13. Remember the three pillars Industrial leadership SocietalChallenges Excellence in the Science Base

  14. Europe 2020 priorities • Societal Challenges • Health, demographic change andwellbeing • Food security, sustainable agriculture and • the bio-based economy • Secure, clean and efficient energy • Smart, green and integrated transport • Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials • Inclusive, innovative and reflective societiesSecure Societies • Industrial Leadership • Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies • ICT • Nanotech., Materials, Manuf. and Processing • Biotechnology • Space • Access to risk finance • Innovation in SMEs ICT ICT ICT ICT ICT ICT ICT ICT Excellence in the Science Base Frontier research (ERC) Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) Skills and career development (Marie Curie) Research infrastructures ICT ICT

  15. Health Wellbeing Security Nanotech, Matl’s Processes, Biol SME Climate, Environment, Resources Legal & Financial https://www.h2020uk.org/national-contact-points

  16. Structure of The Whole Work Programme • General introduction (incl. Strategic Programme) • Excellent Science (not ERC) • Industrial Leadership • Societal Challenges • Science with and for Society • Widening Participation • Annexes NB: Distinct WPs for: ERC & Euratom SocietalChallenges Industrial Leadership ExcellentScience https://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/funding/reference_docs.html#h2020-work-programmes-2014-15-main-wp

  17. What about the projects ???

  18. H2020 actions supported by grants • Research and innovation actions • Innovation actions • PPPs • JTIs • Pre-commercial procurement & Public procurement of innovative solutions Co-fund • Coordination and support actions • SME instrument Photonics, HPC, 5G, FoF, Green veh, etc ENIAC + ARTEMIS + EPoSS = ECSEL Think SBRI

  19. Research and innovation actions • To establish new knowledge and/or to explore the feasibility of a new or improved technology, product, process, service or solution. • May include • basic and applied research, • technology development and integration, • testing and validation on a small-scale prototypein a laboratory or simulated environment.

  20. Innovation actions • Producing plans and arrangements or designs for new, altered or improved products, processes or services. • May include • prototyping, • testing, • demonstrating, • piloting, • large-scale product validation and market replication.

  21. Innovation…… Innovation Management Business Plan Business Model IMPACT !

  22. Coordination and support actions Consisting primarily of accompanying measures such as: standardisation, dissemination, awareness-raising and communication, networking, coordination or support services, policy dialogues mutual learning exercises and studies, including design studies for new infrastructure may also include complementary activities of networking and coordination between programmes in different countries. Single Participant Possible

  23. SME instrument in Horizon 2020

  24. SME support: integrated approach 'Innovation in SMEs' 20 % budgetary target in Industrial & Social
