The future

“As in a glass darkly”

• A single programme (FP7 + CIP + EIT)• Strong focus on societal challenges (game changing for ICT…)

• More innovation• Reaching out to non-traditional actors• More risk taking• Strengthened support for high-tech SMEs• More open, light & fast schemes–

What is new?

Growth, Jobs & Competitiveness

Better articulation of research and

innovation

Seamless funding from idea to market

Innovation

• Activities directly aiming at producing plans and arrangements for new, altered or improved products, processes or services

• May include:Protyping, Testing, Demonstrating, Piloting, Large-scale product validation and Market replication

The threedocuments

A simple funding model:. 100% Direct Costs + 25% [70% for Innovation only] Time-to-grant of 8 months ("5 + 3 months”) Guidelines on the transfer of indirect to direct costs for large research infrastructures.Some new activities "Spreading excellence and widening participation" and "Science with and for society" are

addressed as separate parts outside the three main pillars. New Societal Challenge 7 on "Secure Societies". New activities on cross-cutting marine and maritime research (Challenge 2) and Cultural

heritage (Challenges 5 and 6).Dedication of budgets to key topics: SME Research & Innovation, Energy and FET Target of at least 20% of the combined budget of LEIT and Societal Challenges for SMEs. 5% [> 7% ] of the combined budget of LEIT and Societal Challenges will be distributed through

the SME instrument Energy, 85% of the budget is set for non-fossil fuel energy research; rest dedicated to fossil

fuel related energy research 40% of the FET budget is earmarked for FET Open.

Main elements ofThe H2020 Compromise

Fast Track to Innovation Pilot: A Fast Track to Innovation pilot is to be launched in 2015 :

For close-to-market actionsmaxima: of 5 partners and 3M€ per project

open calls with three cut-off deadlines per year fast time to grant project will not require Programme Committee approval. covering all fields across Industrial Leadership and Societal Challenges Pillars

The pilot will include a sufficient number of projects to allow for an in depth evaluation that will be part of the mid-term evaluation of H2020. Future implementation of the Fast Track will be decided on the basis of the evaluation results.

Derogations from the Rules of Participation for JTIs Derogations from the Rules for Participation for JTIs are restricted to specified areas and are to be adopted by

delegated acts. Revenues and repayments of the financial instruments Derogation from the Financial Regulation will permit both revenues and repayments to be returned to the

financial instruments.

Main elements ofThe H2020 Compromise

What sort of projects?• Collaborative Projects:

– CP 100% / 70% pka STREP, IP– Public Private Partnerships, – Joint Technology Initiatives– MS Collaborative ERANET, FET Flagships– Pilots A?, B

• Cooperation & Support aka CSA,…..• Market stimulation

– Pre Commercial Procurement– Public Procurement of Innovation

• ETC: – Prizes, IP, International Cooperation, Financial Support, FET Proactive, …
