Horizon 2020 is different A strong challenge-based approach, allowing applicants to have
considerable freedom to come up with innovative solutions
Emphasis on innovation, with continuing support for R&D (research and innovation actions with 100% funding; innovation actions with 70% funding)
Less prescriptive topics, strong emphasis on expected impact
A strategic approach, with two-year work programmes
Focus areas bring together different technologies, along entire innovation chain
Cross-cutting issues mainstreamed (e.g. social sciences, gender, international cooperation)

European KET Strategy:
• EC Communications
(2009)512 & (2012)341
• KET High-level Group
PolicyPolicy Research and Innovation
Research and Innovation
The issues regarding KETs
• Europe has strong position in science and in patenting activity
• EU actors are at top of patent ranking in each KET
• But there is a gap between the technology base and the manufacturing base
• We need to add demonstrators, competitive manufacturing and product development to the technologies
From Lab to Industry to Market
PolicyPolicy Research and Innovation
Research and Innovation
Main priorities for KETs
