H2020 The main differences from FP7 • bringing together of research and innovation in a single programme • focusing on multidisciplinary societal challenges which the European citizens face • simplifying the participation of all companies, universities, and other institutes in all EU countries and beyond
The 3 basic goals • Excellent Science • Industrial Leadership • Societal Challenges
KEY MESSAGES • Very much stronger emphasis on bringing IN SMEs • Research for innovation needs to be able to demonstrate impact and close to market activities • H2020 to be policy rather than science driven • Trying to avoid divide between research and innovation with greater integration between the two • Different ways of funding projects which will address the fundamental challenges • Need to translate knowledge into impact (Anne Glover -Barosso'sspecial scientific adviser)
Four ways to get into H2020 • Topics • SME instrument • Marie Sklodowska Curie • ERC
areas of interest for you Societal Challenges • Secure, clean and efficient energy • Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials Leadership in enabling industrial technologies - energy efficient Buildings Work programmes now agreed for 2014 and 2015
Types of actions • Research & Innovation actions • Innovation • Co-ordination • ERANET SME Instrument
Funding • 100% funding for universities • + 25% overhead
Deadlines For 2014 almost too late -deadlines: 20th March, 1st April7th May 5th June For 2015 start now for deadlines: March and June 2015,
Getting ready What makes a good project?

Keep it clear and simple • The proposal must be easy to understand • Be clear about the objectives of your proposal • Ensure the Work Programme delivers your objectives in a well managed, detailedcost-effective programme of actions • Ensure measurable impact within and after project duration. What are your indicators? • LOOK AT THE AWARD CRITERIA – again and again!
