Horizon 2020:What Funding Opportunities for Criminology Research? Adriana Brincat Scicluna EU Team, Research Support Office
Horizon 2020: the European Commission’s main Programme for the Funding of Research • Succeeds Framework Programme 7 (FP7) • 70.2 billion EUR • 2014-2020
Excellent Science - Pillar I • Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA)
Horizon 2020 – MSCA ITN ITN Early-Stage Researchers Innovative Training Networks supporting early-stage training (Including Industrial doctorates & Joint doctorates) • IEF • IOF IF Experienced Researchers Individual fellowship supporting experienced researchers undertaking mobility • IIF • CIG RISE Exchange of Staff International and inter-sector cooperation through research and innovation staff exchange IAPP IRSES Co-funding of regional, national and international programmes funding doctoral and postdoctoral researchers COFUND Co-funding COFUND
Innovative Training Networks (ITN) The ITN consists of three strands: • European Training Networks (minimum of three participants) • Joint Doctorates (minimum of three academic participants who can deliver a doctoral degree) • European Industrial Doctorates (minimum of one academic participant and one non-academic participant)
European Training Networks(ETNs) • Aimed at Training of Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) << ESR Definition: Early stage researchers shall at the time of recruitment by the host organisation, be in the first four years (full-time equivalent research experience) of their research careers and have not been awarded a doctoral degree. >> • Minimum of 3 organisations from 3 separate Member States/Associated Countries • Non-Academic Institutions should be included in the network
…ETNs continued • ‘Academic Sector’ consists of public or private higher education establishments awarding academic degrees, public or private non-profit research organisations whose primary mission is to pursue research, and international European interest organisations as they are defined in Article 2 of the Horizon 2020 Rules for Participation. • Non-Academic Sector includes any socio-economic actor not included in the academic sector and fulfilling the requirements of the Horizon 2020 Rules for Participation.
…ETNs continued • Maximum of 540 ESR months (15 PhD students for 36 months each) per network • Mobility rule applies: ESRs must not have resided in the recruiting host country for more than 12 months in the previous 3 years • Apart from the Beneficiary organisations that would need to recruit ESRs, a consortium may also include Partner organisations who would host secondments
…ETNs continued • ETN Funding covers: • Living + mobility allowance of ESRs (UK figure: 52,095 EUR/year) • 1,800 EUR/ESR/month for Training and Networking to hosting organisation (21,600 EUR/ESR/year) • 1,200 EUR/ESR/month towards Management and Overheads to hosting organisation (43,200 EUR/ESR/year)
European Joint Doctorates(EJDs) • European Joint Doctorates (EJDs): same set-up and similar conditions to ETNs with the additional requirement of a minimum of three participants that can award degrees and the delivery of joint, double or multiple doctoral degree to ESRs.
European Industrial Doctorates(EIDs) • European Industrial Doctorates (EIDs): • 1 non-academic organisation (primarily enterprise) + 1 academic organisation in different Member States/AC at minimum • Up to 5 PhD students spending a minimum of 50% of their time based at the non-academic organisation (focus on skills meeting public or private sector needs) • Same funding as for ETN above
Individual Fellowships (IFs) • Opportunities for Experienced Researchers (ERs): << Experienced Researcher definition: ERs shall, at the time of the relevant deadline for submission of proposals by the host organisation, be in possession of a doctoral degree or have at least four years of full-time equivalent research experience. >> • Grow your team through European Fellowships (any country to MS/AC) • 2 year duration • Outgoing Fellowship (MS/AC to third country, with mandatory return phase) • 3 year duration
Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) • Aimed at Staff Exchanges (staff must have been employed for at least 6 months before the start of the exchange) • Minimum of three independent participant organisations based in three separate countries • The grouping must either include: • one third-country-based organisation; or • a non-academic sector organisation; or • Or both of the above.
…RISE continued • Secondments may be between 1 and 12 months duration and must all be either international or intersectoral • Funding covers: • Contribution towards travel and subsistence costs (2,000 EUR/secondee/month), training costs (1,800 EUR/secondee/month) and management and overheads (700 EUR/secondee/month)
Marie Curie Upcoming deadlines: • ITNs: 9th April 2014, 13th January 2015 • IFs: 11th September 2014, 10th September 2015 • RISE: 24th April 2014, 28th April 2015 • Work Programme
Excellent Science - Pillar I • Research Infrastructures
Research Infrastructures • Aim is to “develop new world-class research infrastructures. The aim is to facilitate and support the implementation, long-term sustainability and efficient operation of the research infrastructures identified by the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) as well as other world-class research infrastructures, which will help Europe respond to grand challenges in science, industry and society.” • Minimum of three organisations based in three separate Member States or Associated Countries
Research Infrastructures • Calls: • Developing new world-class research infrastructures • Integrating and opening research infrastructures of European interest • e-Infrastructures • Support to innovation, human resources, policy and international cooperation • Minimum of three organisations based in three separate Member States or Associated Countries • Funding varies between 1-15m EUR • 100% direct costs, 25% towards indirects
Societal Challenges - Pillar III • Europe in a changing world - inclusive, innovative and reflective Societies • Secure societies – protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens
Societal Challenges (Pillar III) • Top down (pre-set) research calls • Minimum of 3 organisations from 3 different Member States or Associated Countries • Bi-annual work programmes • Typical project value €1M to €6M
Societal Challenges (Pillar III) • Different Action Types (ex. Research and Innovation, Coordination and Support Actions) • Application split into: Scientific Excellence, Implementation and Impact (max. 70 pages) • Funding of 100% direct costs plus 25% towards indirect costs
Societal Challenges- Pillar III • Health, demographic change and wellbeing (Work Programme) • Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research, bio-economy (Work Programme) • Secure, clean and efficient energy (Work Programme) • Smart, green and integrated transport (Work Programme) • Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials (Work Programme) • Europe in a changing world - inclusive, innovative and reflective Societies (Work Programme) • Secure societies – protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens (Work Programme)
