  1. Horizon 2020 and transport funding Cliff Funnell UK H2020 Transport NCP

  2. What is Horizon 2020 • The new European Union programme for research and innovation for 2014-2020 • A budget of just over €79 billion; 30 per cent higher in real terms than the 2007-2013 period • A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union & European Research Area: • Responding to the economic crisis to invest in jobs and growth • Addressing people’s concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment • Strengthening the EU’s global position in research, innovation and technology

  3. Overall UK Performance in FP7 EU provides up to 20% of HEIs‘external research income UK received 15.2% of FP7 spend (second only to Germany – 16.1%) Benefiting from a total of 6.142 billion euro EU contribution (5.05 billion GBP) 2 670 UK organisations participate in 9 155 FP7 projects UK is 2nd in number of participants and budget share amongst EU-28 (and 1st in both participations and budget share in 2012 and 2013) Success rate for applications is 23.1 % (higher than EU average: 20.9%)

  4. Major Simplification • A single set of rules for all funding under Horizon 2020 • Fewer, more flexible, funding instrument /More coherent with other new EU Programmes • Simpler reimbursement: 1 project = 1 funding rate • 100% of the total eligible costs (70% for innovation actions) • Single flat rate for indirect costs (25% of eligible costs) • Faster time to grant - Within 8 months of call deadline in most cases • Simplification in grant agreements • e.g. no time-sheets for personnel working full time on a project

  5. New approach to WPs and calls • More strategic work programmes • Focusing on areas where EU level action has greatest impact • With a coherent set of actions from research to innovation • Greater integrated across different parts of Horizon 2020 • Less prescriptive calls • More open to innovative proposals • Stronger emphasis on impact • Stimulating inter-disciplinary projects • Two year work programmes • Greater participation in setting work programmes, including by citizens • More advanced notice for applicants

  6. Three priorities • Excellent science • Industrial leadership • Societal challenges

  7. Coverage of the full innovation chain

  8. Excellent Science Industrial Leadership Societal Challenges Health, demographic change and wellbeing Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologies Food security, sustainable agriculture, forestry, marine, maritime, inland water and bio-economy European Research Council Secure, clean and efficient energy Future & Emerging Technologies (FET) Smart, green and integrated transport Access to Risk Finance Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials Marie Skłodowska- Curie actions Inclusive, innovative and reflective societies Innovationin SMEs Research Infrastructures Secure societies – protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens 3 Pillar Structure JRC Spreading Excellence and Widening Participation EIT Science with and for Society

  9. Horizon 2020 III. Societal Challenges I. Excellent Science II. Industrial Leadership 1. Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies 2. Access to risk finance 3. Innovation in SMEs 2.

Transport opportunities

  10. Transport challenge budget • 6,339 M € for 7 years 2014-2020 • 50/50 JTIs/collaborative calls • Clean Sky • SESAR • Fuel Cells & Hydrogen (contribution) • [Shift2Rail] • 867 M € for WP 2014-15

  11. Work Programme: new features • challenge-basedapproach: broad latitude for applicants to devise innovative solutions • broadertopics, less prescription, focus on impact • biennial WP, annual calls (in most cases) • 1 topic = variousprojects (in most cases) • no 'ringfencing' of topic budget/ranking (in most cases) • simplified types of actions/funding rates(research and innovation actions: 100%; innovation actions: 70%/100%;…) • 2-stage evaluation for mosttopics • keywords and tags for easyaccess to information

  12. Work programme cycle in H2020 1st 2nd 3rd Calls: annual, biennial or open Single stage or 2-stage evaluation * possible revision * 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020

  13. WP 2014-15 Transport calls

  14. Calls: deadlines 2014 Time to grant: max 8 months
