Addressing important challenges for Europe

Innovation is an engine for growth, R&D investments essential for generating growth and high quality jobs

EU industry needs to invest more in R&D&I

Re-industrialisation can only be achieved if the public authorities/ regional authorities work together with private sector

Horizon 2020 (2014-2020): Key elements

• A single programme with three pillars: societal challenges, industrial competitiveness and excellence in science

• More emphasis on innovation

• More involvement of industry via the industrial deployment of key enabling technologies, and through PPPs (Public-Private Partnerships) - institutional and contractual

• Simplified access for all stakeholders

Page 5: Key Enabling Technologies for Regional Growth: synergies ... · Committee of the Regions ESIF and Horizon 2020 for Smart Specialisation in KETs: H2020 Calls ... H2020-LEIT work programme(2014-2015)

ICT, Key Enabling Technologies (KETs), Space

• Emphasis on R&D and innovation with strong industrial dimension - partnership with industry, to recover from economic crisis

• Activities primarily developed through relevant industrial roadmaps (ETPs, PPPs)

• Involvement of industrial participants and SMEs to maximise expected impact => key aspect of proposal evaluation

• Pilots and demonstrators, cross-cutting KETs, enabling applications in Societal Challenges

• Outcome and impact oriented, developing key technology building blocks and bringing them closer to the market

What does H2020 fund?

Relevant for synergies with ESIF:

• Research and innovation actions

• Innovation actions

o Consortia with minimum 3 partners from minimum 3 different MS or associated countries

• Coordination and support actions

• ERA-NET co-fund actions

o Networks of funding agencies, funding research calls with minimum 2 partners from 2 different MS or associated countries

• Innovative/Pre-comercial procurement 8

How did we address the issue of synergies?

• ERA-NET co-fund actions: Networks of funding agencies, funding research calls with minimum 2 partners from 2 different MS or associated countries. => eg. INCOMERA (ERA-NET funding innovation), MANUNET (ERA-NET funding Manufacturing)

• In the work programme, by encouraging participants to look for synergies.

• Coordination and support actions on: Facilitating knowledge management, networking and coordination in

NMP –SYNAMERA Project, start date: 1 May 2015

Practical experience and facilitating combined funding for large-scale RDI initiatives- EU GREAT Project, start date: 1 January 2015

Synergies encouraged in the WPs (2014-2015)

• NMBP: "Wherever possible, proposers could actively seek

synergies, including possibilities for funding, with relevant national / regional research and innovation programmes and/or cumulative funding with European Structural and Investment Funds in connection with smart specialisation strategies. For this purpose the tools provided by the Smart Specialization Platform, Eye@RIS3 may be useful. The initial exploitation and business plans will address such synergies and/or additional funding. Exploitation plans, outline financial arrangements and any follow-up will be developed further during the project. The results of these activities as well as the envisaged further activities in this respect should be described in the final report of the project."

Page 11: Key Enabling Technologies for Regional Growth: synergies ... · Committee of the Regions ESIF and Horizon 2020 for Smart Specialisation in KETs: H2020 Calls ... H2020-LEIT work programme(2014-2015)

Synergies encouraged in the WPs (2014-2015)

• ICT: "Wherever appropriate, actions could seek synergies and co-financing from relevant national / regional research and innovation programmes, e.g. structural funds addressing smart specialisation. Actions combining different sources of financing should include a concrete financial plan detailing the use of these funding sources for the different parts of their activities."

Page 12: Key Enabling Technologies for Regional Growth: synergies ... · Committee of the Regions ESIF and Horizon 2020 for Smart Specialisation in KETs: H2020 Calls ... H2020-LEIT work programme(2014-2015)

Why are Synergies important for innovation ?

• Obtaining more impacts on competitiveness, jobs and

growth by combining ESIF and Horizon 2020

• Increased funding for research and innovation available

under regional funding => Smart Specialisation:

strategic framework to access funding for Research and

Innovation in Structural Funds 2014-2020

• Support from other EU, national or regional programmes

encouraged (supported or not by ESIF)

• Exploit complementarities while at the same time avoid

overlaps and exclude double-financing.

Opportunities for innovating along and across the value chain for KETs

• Structuring the regional stakeholders around an innovation cluster.

• Linking value chain activities through cross-cluster and cross-region cooperation.

• Supporting innovative SMEs.

• Supporting Manufacturing Platforms & Pilot Production Lines.

• Supporting Large Scale Deployment Actions.

Potential cases of combining Horizon 2020 & ESIF for the same industrial project

1. Simultaneous / additional / parallel use of funds for the same industrial

project: e.g. H2020 money and ESIF that are used together to fund different cost items within a single industrial project

2. Sequential funding for an industrial project: the sequential use (in time) of

different public funding sources in separate successive subprojects of the same industrial project e.g. first ESIF for R&I infrastructure, then H2020 for innovation activities; e.g. R&I activities using H2020, followed by industrial investments

In both cases: distinguished, self-standing arrangements based on programme

rules – one would e.g. be H2020 grant agreement Industrial projects need financial engineering

Plan your industrial project: • Define scope of industrial project (incl. beneficiaries), detailed activities,

budget (private/public).

• Look at eligibility of activities: localisation (eg. region), type of cost items (e.g equipment, direct personnel cost) in combination with beneficiaries and timeline.

• Prepare business plan for industrial project: group activities in projects (set of cost items for certain beneficiaries), identify costs and funding options for each (ESIF, Horizon 2020, national funds), contact Managing Authorities.

• Prepare Horizon 2020 proposal (project and consortium), look into the rules for obtaining support => H2020 competitive procedures-Calls for proposals- Evaluation criteria + procedures

• Prepare ESIF proposal (project and beneficiary) for each region/country involved talking into account Smart Specialisation Strategies, ESIF: EU countries administer the funds on a decentralised basis through shared management

• Submit Horizon 2020 and ESIF proposals including master plan for industrial project

Basic budgetary principles ("no cheating")

"non Substitution” principle

• The use of a Union funding instrument to substitute the non-Union contribution to another Union instrument is not allowed: ESIF cannot be used to substitute the national or private contribution to H2020 projects.

"no double funding” principle

• It will be possible to award a grant under Horizon 2020 for an industrial project which is also funded by an ESIF grant but the absence of double funding should be ensured.

How can regions help?

• Establish a map of the regional knowledge (RIS3 Platform).

• Focus on commercialisation, and enable regional manufacturing activities, even using results obtained in another region, bring back and anchor manufacturing activities in EU.

• Gather and pool all the regional expertise in order to be able to find the best partners.

• Use the same wording and phraseology as the one use in KETs in order to tackle differences in terms of innovation and business focus.

• Make the connections between the regions easier, according to their need and strengths.

• Consider funding and reporting rules.

• MANUNET is a network of 14 countries and 13 regions

funded by the European Commission.

• Since 2006 MANUNET has been working with the objective

to promote and fund transnational research and

development projects in the field of manufacturing,

through yearly calls for proposals.

• MANUNET gathers together national and regional agencies that use their own

funding programmes to fund manufacturing research and development

projects performed by companies, research centers and universities.

• MANUNET is a network focused on SME needs, with a demonstrated impact,

and with a clear presence in participating countries and regions. In addition:

It is based on the national/regional programmes.

It covers broad topics.

It has no centralised evaluation.

Each agency funds the organisations of its own country/region.

It is flexible in terms of call participation and budget allocation.

• INCOMERA is a network of 13 countries and 11 regions

funded by the European Commission.

• One of the main action planned is to develop all synergy

required for supporting SME's transnational/regional

cooperation, within the context of each region's smart

specialization strategy for enhancing the

commercialization/productivity plans of NMP consortia.

• Key Enabling Technologies and especially the NMP thematic area have been

identified as a clear priority for investments in the EU notably within the

context of smart specialization. INCOMERA will perform a thorough cross-

regional analysis of competencies as well as of "needs, wants and

expectations" of every regional ecosystem with the aim to support projects

of beneficiaries with complementary skills and expertise, by involving both

downstream and upstream partners across the value chain.

• INCOMERA gathers together national and regional agencies that use their

own funding programmes to fund NMP research and development projects

performed by companies, research centers and universities.

• INCOMERA is a network focused on SME, willing to fund projects above TRL4.

How EU-GREAT started?

• Innovation policy shifts globally towards valorisation of

research into commercial products, services &

production.

• Higher need for investments together with public/private

partnerships needed to increase the number of large-

scale RDI initiatives, to boost the commercialisation and

strengthen the competitive-edge of the European Industry.

• A definition of “Large scale RDI initiatives” including a

classification of different types is a pre-requisite.

• Decision making processes concerning funding and

investment need to be connected.

• To identify the key issues combining different

funding mechanisms to support scale up of

research into commercial manufacturing in large

scale RDI initiatives.

• To Support and guide the EC services in

designing and delivering further actions to

facilitate synergies among public (ESIF and

H2020 at European level, programmes and

initiatives at national and regional levels) and

private funds.

• To further initiate the development of these

RDI initiatives, using a combination of different

funding mechanisms.

• National, regional public authorities, private

stakeholders, industry, research organisations will

benefit from these recommendations.
