This project has received funding from the European Union‘s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 641003
Introduction to Horizon 2020
Zagreb 26-27.01.2016
The New EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation
2014-2020
Horizon 2020 – delivering excellent science for Europe
Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU research and innovation programme ever.
Taking great ideas from the lab to the market.
Almost €80 billion of funding is available over 7 years (2014 to 2020).
What's new?
• A single programme bringing together three separate programmes/initiatives*
• 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
* The 7th Research Framework Programme (FP7), innovation aspects of Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP), EU contribution to the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT)
Priority 1. Excellent science
Why?
• World class science is the foundation of tomorrow’s technologies, jobs and wellbeing
• Europe needs to develop, attract and retain research talent
• Researchers need access to the best infrastructures
Excellent Science The European Research Council (ERC) funding for
individual researchers and their teams to investigate fields “at the frontier of science”
Future and emerging technologies (FET), consisting of collaborative research across disciplines in “radically new, high-risk ideas”
Marie Sklodowska Curie actions, providing training and career and knowledge-exchange opportunities through mobility programmes for researchers and research staff.
Research infrastructures will provide Europe with high-level research infrastructures accessible to all researchers in Europe and elsewhere.
All activities are: forward-looking, long-term oriented, and follow the so-called bottom-up logic.
Priority 2. Industrial leadership
Why? • Strategic investments in key technologies (e.g. advanced manufacturing, micro-electronics) underpin innovation across existing and emerging sectors • Europe needs to attract more private investment in research and innovation • Europe needs more innovative small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to create growth and jobs
Industrial Leadership
Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies.
Access to risk finance Innovation in SMEs Access to risk finance and Innovation in SMEs are demand-driven, bottom-up programmes. Focus on Key Enabling Technologies (KET) - micro- and nanoelectronics, photonics, nanotechnology, biotechnology, advanced materials and advanced manufacturing systems
Priority 3. Societal challenges
Why? • Concerns of citizens and society/EU policy objectives (climate, environment, energy, transport, etc) cannot be achieved without innovation • Breakthrough solutions come from multi-disciplinary collaborations, including social sciences & humanities • Promising solutions need to be tested, demonstrated and scaled up
Societal Challenges
The EU has identified seven priority challenges where targeted investment in research and innovation can have a real impact benefitting the citizen: Health, demographic change and wellbeing Food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry, marine and
maritime and inland water research and the bioeconomy Secure, clean and efficient energy Smart, green and integrated transport Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials Europe in a changing world - inclusive, innovative and reflective
societies Secure societies - protecting freedom and security of Europe and its
citizens.
Who may apply?
For standard research projects – a consortium of at least three legal entities. Each entity must
be established in an EU Member State or an Associated
Country.
For example for European Research Council (ERC), SME Instrument, the co-funding of national or public sector calls or programmes, coordination and support, training and mobility – the minimum condition for participation is one legal entity established in a Member State or in an Associated Country.
Additional conditions may apply. Check the Work Programme for details.

European Research Council grants
Funding for projects evaluated on the sole criterion of scientific excellence in any field of research, carried out by a single national or multinational research team led by a ‘principal investigator’. Who? The ERC funds excellent young, early-career researchers, already independent researchers and senior research leaders. Researchers can be of any nationality and their projects can be in any field of research.

SME Instrument
This instrument is aimed at highly innovative SMEs with the ambition to develop their growth potential. It offers lump sums for feasibility studies, grants for an innovation project’s main phase (demonstration, prototyping, testing, application development...); lastly, the commercialisation phase is supported indirectly through facilitated access to debt and equity financial instruments. Who? Only SMEs can participate. Either a single SME or a consortium of SMEs established in an EU or Associated Country.

The pilot action will undergo an in-depth assessment half-way through Horizon 2020. Who? Industry, including SMEs, with a minimum of three and maximum of five partners and a maximum EU contribution of €3 million per project.
Funding rates
One single funding rate for all beneficiaries and all activities in the research grants.
EU funding covers up to 100 % of all eligible costs for all research and innovation actions, coordination and support actions, ERC grants.
For innovation actions, funding generally covers 70 % of eligible costs, but may increase to 100 % for non-profit organisations.
70 % for SMEs and Fast track to innovation Indirect eligible costs (e.g. administration, communication
