  1. H2020UK Horizon 2020 - Nanotechnology, Advanced Materials and Production opportunities Craig Sharp National Contact Point Nanotechnologies, advanced materials and advanced manufacturing and processing Craig.Sharp@innovateuk.gov.uk

  2. Horizon 2020 National Contact Points (www.h2020uk.org) • National Contact Points (NCPs) are publicly funded (many by the Technology Strategy Board) to provide advice and assistance to UK participants within specific areas of Horizon 2020 (H2020) • All member states have NCPs across Horizon 2020 calls • UK NCPs are on www.h2020uk.org/national-contact-points • (Full Member State list - search on “NCP Horizon 2020” – or through the Participant Portal)

  3. National Contact Points – what we do.. • Feedback to/from Commission on work programmes • • Clarification of documentation and rules • • Guidance on choosing thematic priorities and instruments • Scope queries with Project Officers • • Feedback on proposals • • Assistance in partner search • - through theme specific databases or across the network of other Member State NCPs • - through network support (Knowledge Transfer Network, Enterprise Europe Network) • Some feedback on results.. • www.h2020uk.org

  4. Successor to FP7 (2007-13) – EU Collaborative R&D programme ~ €79Bn programme, much of it collaborative More innovation: through introduction of ‘close-to-market actions’ (e.g. prototyping, testing, demonstrating). Greater SME involvement - “SME instrument” A single set of rules for participation and dissemination - for the whole innovation chain Simplified funding rates for research and innovation projects; flat rate for indirect costs Faster time-to-grant : to be reduced to 8 months (5 + 3) Fewer, better targeted controls and audits Horizon 2020 (2014-20) - what’s new?

  5. Why European R&D Funding? Through the EU, business can gain innovation support on a scale not available within the UK. This can bring UK companies new R&D funding, the chance to collaborate with other world-class companies and institutions, and reach into the world’s largest ‘home’ market

  6. H2020 participation • Hi-tech SMEs: • Spin outs from universities or firms with hi-tech and knowledge based products and in-house R&D capability. • Mid-tech SMEs: • With some R&D activity or that which could be stimulated and leveraged through Horizon 2020. • Academic & Research Organisations: • Experienced organisations in partnering and coordinating proposals within balanced consortia • Large companies: • With existing R&D activity or that which could be stimulated and leveraged through Horizon 2020.
