  1. The EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation 2014-2020 Brendan Hawdon Horizon 2020 DG Research & Innovation Research and Innovation

  2. The Multiannual Financial Framework 2014-2020: Commission’s proposals 29 June 2011 Key challenge: stabilise the financial and economic system while taking measures to create economic opportunities • 1. Smart & inclusive growth (€491bn) • 2. Sustainable growth, natural resources (€383bn) • 3. Security and citizenship (€18.5bn) • 4. Global Europe (€70bn) • 5. Administration (€62.6bn) Horizon 2020 Education, Youth, Sport Connecting Europe Cohesion Competitive Business SMEs Total: € 1,025bn

  3. What is Horizon 2020 • Commission proposal for a 80 billion euro research and innovation funding programme (2014-2020) • A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union & European Research Area: • - Responding to the economic crisis to invest in future jobs and growth • - Addressing people’s concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment • - Strengthening the EU’s global position in research, innovation and technology

  4. Impact of Horizon 2020 for R&I Key Features • Economic growth • €1 invested in Horizon 2020 produces €10 extra GDP per annum Horizon 2020 Projects financed on the basis of excellence • Research and innovation outputs of Horizon 2020 • Improved R&D capabilities • Scientific publications • New tools and techniques • Models and simulations • Prototypes, demonstrators, pilots • Patents • New products, processes, services • Spin-offs Projects selected through intense pan-European competition Societal Impact and Contribution to Europe 2020 • More high-tech Jobs • >800,000 in the medium term Ambitious collaborative projects with critical mass • Competitiveness • Exports increase by 1,4% and imports decrease by 0,2% in the medium term Projects not achievable without EU support (additionality) • Inclusive & sustainable growth • Better health & more well-being • A more secure society • Sustainable agriculture • Clean & efficient energy • Smart, green, integrated transport • Reduced greenhouse gas emissions • Efficient use of natural resources Projects leveraging additional private and public resources Seamless support from idea to market Easy access for all participants including SMEs

  5. 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)

  6. Three priorities: Excellent science Industrial leadership Societal challenges

  7. 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

  8. Proposed funding (million euro, 2014-2020)

  9. 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 SMEs to create growth and jobs

  10. Proposed funding (million euro, 2014-20)

  11. 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

  12. Proposed funding (million euro, 2014-2020) • *Additional €1 788m for nuclear safety and security from the Euratom Treaty activities (2014-2018). Does not include ITER.

  13. Simplification • Single set of simpler and more coherent participation rules • New balance between trust and control • Moving from several funding rates for different beneficiaries and activities to just two • Replacing the four methods to calculate overhead or «indirect costs» with a single flat rate • Major simplification under the forthcoming financial regulation • Successful applicants to get working more quickly: reduction of average time to grant by 100 days (current average of around 350 days under FP7)

  14. Responsible Research & Innovation - 1 • How to ensure that outcomes resulting from R&I will be adequate for society in the long run? • How to be sure that R&I solutions to the societal challenges will correspond to the needs of the various societal actors? • The response is inscribed in the concept of Responsible Research and Innovation • Horizon 2020 will support RRI by: • mainstreaming in Horizon 2020 • via the 'Inclusive, Innovative and Secure Societies' challenge' • RRI features also in-built in Horizon 2020 – e.g. open access (Rules for Participation), ethics reviews of projects, gender equality, external advice and societal engagement (Regulation)

  15. Responsible Research & Innovation - 2 • Specific arrangements – strategic programming and work programmes process • Continuous advisory process • Integration of cross-cutting RRI actions • RRI inter-service coordination • Six key areas in Horizon 2020 • Engagement of citizens • Gender equality • Science education • Open access • Ethics • Governance framework

  16. Inter-institutional negotiations - Council Partial General Approach on the H2020 Regulation - Compet Council on 31 May General support for the proposal …split of Challenge 6: one on innovative, inclusive and reflective societies, and a on security Conditions for researchers (EU 12 priority) New action line on Cultural Heritage…

  17. Inter-institutional negotiation - EP Discussions in the EP also going ahead. Rapporteurs' reports – discussed in the leading EP-committee (ITRE) on 18/19 June. More than 3000 amendments proposed. Amendments to be discussed in September and October in the relevant committee; first vote in plenary depends on the MFF negotiations.

  18. FP7 Work programme 2013 • Last round of FP7: calls accounting for around €8bn • Adopted on 9th of July • Strong Horizon 2020 flavour • Clear priorities/challenges • More innovation • Piloting new approaches

  19. Next steps - summary Ongoing: Parliament and Council negotiations on the basis of the Commission proposals Ongoing: Parliament and Council negotiations on EU budget 2014-2020 (including overall budget for Horizon 2020) July 2012: Final calls under 7th Framework Programme for research to bridge gap towards Horizon 2020 Mid 2013: Adoption of legislative acts by Parliament and Council on Horizon 2020 1/1/2014: Horizon 2020 starts, launch of first calls
