Horizon 2020 (TRL 1 – 8)
European Regional Development Fund (TRL 2 – 9)
European Investment Bank (TRL 2 – 9)
Horizon 2020Basics
• A single programme bringing together three separate programmes/initiatives (FP/CIP/EIT)
• Coupling research to innovation – from research to retail, all forms of innovation (integration of the innovation dimension)
• Focus on societal challenges facing EU society, e.g. health, clean energy and transport
• Additional emphasis on Public-Private-Partnerships and Public-Public-Partnerships
• New approaches to SME support

Europe 2020 priorities
Horizon 2020 is different
• a strong challenge-based approach• simplified list of possible types of action (e.g. research
and innovation – 100%; innovation actions – 70%)• less prescription, strong emphasis on expected impact• broader topics• cross-cutting issues mainstreamed (e.g. ICT, social
sciences, gender)
8
Horizon 2020 and partnering (I)
Public-Public Partnerships (P2Ps):• Through “ERA-Nets” for topping up individual calls/ actions (replacing
current ERA-Net, ERA-Net Plus, Inco-Net, Inno-net)• Through participation in joint programs between Member States (art
185, e.g. EUROSTARS, AAL)• Supporting agendas of Joint Programming Initiatives when in line
with Horizon 2020, e.g. JP Neurodegeneratieve Aandoeningen, JP Urban Europe• Only when criteria met, e.g. financial commitments of participating
countries • “Smart specialisation”
9
Horizon 2020 and partnering (II)
Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs):• Through Joint Technology Initiatives (JTI) or other formal structures
(art 187.), e.g. Artemis/Eniac,
• Via contractual arrangements, which provide inputs for work programmes
• Only when criteria met, e.g. clear commitments from private partners
European Innovation Partnerships• Not funding instruments, but for coordination with broader policies
and programmes
Rules of participation: simplification
A single set of rules:• adapted for the whole research and innovation cycle• aligned to the Financial Regulation, coherent with other new EU
ProgrammesSimpler rules for grants: • broader acceptance of participants accounting practices for direct
costs, • flat rate for indirect costs, Fewer, better targeted controls and audits:• audit strategy focused on risk and fraud prevention• new balance between trust and control
11
Conditions for participation
Minimum conditions Standard collaborative actions:
At least 3 legal entities established in different MS or AC
ERC, SME instrument, programme Co-Fund, coordination & support, training & mobility actions:One legal entity established in MS or AC
Additional conditions In the work programme or work plan
12
Evaluation of proposals
Standard criteria Excellence Impact Quality & efficiency of the action
ERC frontier research actions: only “Excellence” Innovation actions: higher weighting for “Impact”
13
Time to grant: speeding up the process
A maximum of TTG of 8 months 5 months for informing all applicants on scientific
evaluation 3 months for signature of GA (Grant Agreement)
How to speed up the process No more negotiations: each proposal evaluated
‘as it is’ and not as ‘what could be’ Legal entity validated in parallel No more paper
