2. What is Horizon 2020 • A single programme bringing together three separate programmes/initiatives • Framework Programme 7 (FP7) • Competitiveness and Innovation Programme (CIP) • European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) • Coupling research to innovation – from research to retail, all forms of innovation • Focus on societal challenges facing EU society, e.g., health, clean energy and transport • Simplified access, for all companies, universities, institutes in all EU countries and beyond Horizon 2020 Overview

3. Excellent Science Base • European Research Council (ERC) • Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) • Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions • Research Infrastructures • Industrial Leadership and Competitive Frameworks • Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies: • ICT; Nanotechnologies; Advanced Materials; Biotechnology; Advanced Manufacturing and Processing; and Space • Access to risk finance • Innovation in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) Horizon 2020 Overview • Tackling Societal Challenges • Health, demographics changes and well being • Food security, sustainable agriculture marine and maritime research • and the bio-economy • Secure, clean and efficient energy • Smart, green and integrated transport • Climate action and resource efficiency including raw materials • Inclusive and innovative and secure societies • Protecting freedom and security in Europe • European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) • Joint Research Centre (JRC) • Euratom (2014-2018)

4. Cross-cutting aspects • Aim to widen participation across whole programme to ensure excellence prevails wherever it exists • Simplification as a crucial element • More bottom-up elements to allow for novel ideas • Package of measures to close innovation divide • Links to Cohesion policy = building regional research & innovation capacity • Boosting support to European Research Area (ERA) priorities – mobility, researcher careers, infrastructures, partnering, knowledge transfer, policy learning • Taking account of gender, ethical issues and open access to results Horizon 2020 – Cross-cutting aspects

5. Horizon 2020 - Rules for Participation • Single set of rules: for everyone (academia & industry) • One Project – One Funding Rate • Maximum of 100% of direct costs for all types of partners (except for actions close to market, where a 70% max) • Indirect eligible costs: a flat rate of 20% of direct eligible costs • No real indirect cost option • Simple Evaluation Criteria: excellence, implementation, impact • New Forms of funding for innovation: including dedicated SME funding instrument • Improved rules on Intellectual Property: including new emphasis on Open Access • Simplification: including no time-sheets for personnel working full time on a grant • Fewer, more targeted controls and audits: audit strategy focused on risk and fraud prevention Horizon 2020 – Rules of Participation

6. International co-operation • Instruments: • Targeted actions on basis of common interest and mutual benefit • Horizontal activities to promote strategy development of international co-operation (‘Inclusive, innovative & secure societies’) • Who is likely to receive funding? • Industrialised and emerging economies: x • Enlargement and neighbourhood countries: • Developing countries: Horizon 2020 – Cross-cutting aspects  
