Horizon 2020Commission proposal
EU budget 2014-2020 & Horizon 2020
EU budget€ 1,025bn
Commission proposal of 29 June 2011 and 30 November 2011
Key challenge: to stabilise the financial and economic system while taking measures to create economic opportunities (cf. R&I)
Horizon 2020€ 80bn
A single programme bringing together three separate programmes/initiatives (FP7, CIP, EIT)
Coupling research to innovation - from research to retail, all forms of innovation
Simplified access for all companies, universities, institutes in all EU countries and beyond
Focus on three pillars: Excellent science Industrial leadership Societal challenges
Horizon 2020: What’s new?
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
European Research Council
Frontier research by the best individual teams
13 268
Future and Emerging Technologies
Collaborative research to open new fields of innovation
3 100
Marie Curie actions
Opportunities for training and career development
5 572
Research infrastructures (including e-infrastructure) - Ensuring access to world-class facilities
2 478
Excellent science (M€, 2014-20)
Industrial leadership
Why:
Strategic investments in key technologies (e.g. advanced manufacturing, micro-electronics) underpin innovation across existing and emerging sectorsEurope needs to attract more private investment in research and innovationEurope needs more innovative SMEs to create growth and jobs
Leadership in enabling & industrial technologies (ICT, nanotechnologies, materials, biotechnology, manufacturing, space)
13 781
Access to risk finance
Leveraging private finance and venture capital for research and innovation

Industrial leadership (M€, 2014-20)
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 & humanitiesPromising solutions need to be tested, demonstrated and scaled up
Health, demographic change and wellbeing 8 033
Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research & the bio-economy
4 152
Secure, clean and efficient energy* 5 782
Smart, green and integrated transport 6 802

secure societies' Integrated in all Societal Challenges Supported through the 'Excellent Science' part of H2020 (ERC,
Marie Curie and Infrastructures) The Societal Challenges will bring together different
technologies, sectors, scientific disciplines, social sciences and humanities, and innovation actors to find new solutions to these challenges
Humanistic, cultural, artistic and fine arts perspective are included within the 'Social innovation" framework of the Societal Challenge ' Inclusive, innovative and secure societies'

• What it means in practice: • Best effort: strongly encourages researchers & publishers to comply, while guaranteeing
scientific freedom
1. Seek information
2. If publishers' policies do not allow compliance, authors request authorisation to self-archive or negotiate amendment with publishers
3. If negotiations unsuccessful, consider submitting to another journal
4. If cannot comply with SC39, inform EC with e.g. publisher’s proof of refusal
