Horizon 2020 Priorities: Excellent Science, Industrial Leadership, Societal Challenges

Horizon 2020 focuses on three main priorities: Excellent Science, Industrial Leadership, and Societal Challenges. The Excellent Science pillar supports world-class research and innovation, offering significant funding through grants such as ERC Starting, Consolidator, and Advanced Grants. The Industrial Leadership priority emphasizes strategic investments in key technologies to drive growth and attract private investments. Lastly, the Societal Challenges priority addresses critical societal issues, emphasizing collaborative solutions across disciplines. Funding for these initiatives is vital for Europe’s research and innovation landscape.

  1. Three Horizon2020 priorities: Excellent science Industrial leadership Societal challenges

  2. 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

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

  4. ERC Starting Grant for young, early-career top researchers (2-7 years after PhD) -up to 2 million euro for a period of 5 years. • ERC Consolidator Grant for already independent excellent researchers 7-12 years after PhD) -up to 2.75 million euro for a period of 5 years. • ERC Advanced Grant for senior research leaders with significant research achievements in the last 10 years -up to 3.5 million euro for a period of 5 years. • ERC Proof of Concept Grants for ERC grant holders who want to check the market and/or innovation potential of research results from ERC-projects -up to 150,000 euro for a period of 12 months. • ERC Synergy Grants for small groups of individual researchers -up to 15 million euro for a period up to 6 years.

  5. FET Open supports early-stage joint science and technology research around new ideas for radically new future technologies. • FET Proactive fosters transformative ICT research through a set of focused thematic initiatives(quantum simulation,HPC,robotics etc) • FET Flagships support ambitious, large-scale, long-term, science-driven, goal-oriented, roadmap-based research initiatives tackling grand challenges in S&T. 'Graphene' and 'Human Brain Project' (HBP).

  6. 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

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

  8. 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

  9. 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.
