Horizon 2020Continuity vs. Change

Continuity Change

Core elements will remain, collaborative research, ERC, MCA

Competition based on Excellence

European Added Value EU Policy Needs Shared cost

Integrates FP, EIT, CIP New approaches Focus on innovation Covering the entire cycle from basic

idea to market Integration of SSH and ICT Key Enabling Technologies Strong industry focus Societal

Challenges Less prescriptive topics?

Expanded from ICT and Energy to be used as cross-cutting funding scheme

Supports frontier research: alternative ideas, concepts or paradigms of risky or non-conventional nature

FET Activities

New rule will be: 1 step application, 2 stage evaluation

Open, light and agile Roadmap based research

Public-Private Patnerships

Contractual - the main calls: e.g. photonics Joint Technology Initiatives

Run separately from H2020: Strategic research agenda Industry designed Work Programme Own calls Same reimbursement rates: IP rules - ?

How to start preparing?

Check the Horizon 2020 proposals - do they cover your research area? Think about networking and building links with potential partners now Who are the key players? Who has been involved in previous projects / stakeholder groups? How can you meet them?

• Attending events• Joining the EU evaluators database

(http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/page/experts)• Joining European Technology Platforms or other relevant stakeholder groups• Call for Expert Advisory Groups:

(http://ec.europa.eu/research/horizon2020/index_en.cfm?pg=h2020-experts) Some areas, such as Marie Curie and the ERC, are bottom-up so you could start

early thinking about potential proposal ideas for H2020 Sign up for UKRO Portal, and choose ‘policy’ category

1. New programming cycle•Three year long strategic programmes•Two-year work programme for 2014-2015•Topics structure: “Specific challenge”, “Scope”, “Expected Impact”

2.Simpler rules for grants – OK for SOUTHAMPTON•Single funding rate per project (max. 100%/70%)•Flat rate for indirect costs 25%•Inclusion VAT•100% reimbursement for non-profit organisations•No timesheets for staff working full-time on Horizon 2020 projects•Shorter time to grant (5+3 months)
