LEIT in a nutshell:
Industrial mastering and deployment of Key Enabling Technologies (KETs)
What are KETs?
• Six strategic technologies• Driving competitiveness and
growth opportunities• Contributions to solving societal
challenges • Knowledge- and Capital-
intensive• Cut across many sectors
• Nanotechnologies
• Advanced Materials
• Micro- and nano- electronics
• Photonics
• Biotechnology
• Advanced Manufacturing
European KET Strategy:
• EC Communications
(2009)512 & (2012)341
• KET High-level Group
II. Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologies (LEIT)

Work Programme topics•Structure reflects the challenge based approach •3 key features :
• Specific Challengeo sets context, problem to be addressed, why intervention is necessary
• Scope o delineates the problem, specifies the focus and the boundaries of the potential
action BUT without overly describing specific approaches
• Expected Impact o describe the key elements of what is expected to be achieved in relation to the
specific challenge

AGENDA
• Work Programme and Calls• New Participant Portal• Proposal Submission & Evaluation• Model Grant Agreement• Minimum Conditions & Eligibility for Funding• Simplification• Types of Action
Work Programme and Calls
Work Programme and Calls-1
• A strong challenge-based approach with more freedom to innovative solutions• Simplified list of possible types of action
– Research and innovation - %100– Innovation - %70*
• Less prescription, strong emphasis on expected impact• Broader topics• Cross-cutting issues mainstreamed
– Social sciences,– Gender,– International– …
Work Programme and Calls-2
• Work programme preparation obtained from strategic programming exercise
• A more integrated approach – 2 yearly based WPs• Topics:
– Specific challenge• Problems to be addressed
– Scope• Delineates the problem & specifies the focus
– Expected Impact• The key elements expected to be achieved in relation to specific
challenge
New Participant Portal
Proposal Submission and
Evaluation
Proposal Submission
• Full use of pre-registered data (PIC, etc)• Self check for SME status (viability)• Closely matched criteria for Part B• Simpler but tougher page limits• More 2-state procedure
Proposal Evaluation-1• Award criteria for R&I Actions, Innovation Actions and SME
Instrument:– Excellence
• Ground-breaking nature&trans-disciplinarity– Impact
• Expected impacts in the Work Programmes• Enhancing innovation capacity and integration of new
knowledge– Quality and efficiency of implementation
• Coherence and effectiveness of the work plan• Experience and complementarity of the individual participants
Proposal Evaluation-2• As in FP7:
– Each criterion scored out of 5;– Individual threshold of 3;– Overall threshold of 10
• Unlike FP7, for Innovation Actions and SME Instrument– Impact criterion weighted by factor of 1.5– Impact considered first when scores equal
Proposal Evaluation-3
• For each group of tied proposals1) Consider those that “fill gaps” in the WP
1) For R&I Actions: first “excellence”, second “impact”
2) SME budget3) Gender balance in key personnel4) Other factors (wider H2020, EU objectives, etc)
Proposal Evaluation-4
• New experts• More experts per proposal• Clear procedures to solve the disagreement
among experts• Proposals evaluated on their own merit• Multi-step• Fast and simplified procedure for SME instrument
Model Grant Agreement
Model Grant Agreement-1
• A single document with all provisions• “Annotated GA”• Simplified wording• Electronic signature of the GA, the amendments
and financial statements&technical reports• Communication btw the EC and the beneficiaries
Model Grant Agreement-2
• Annexes to the grant– Annex I: Description of the action– Annex II: Estimated budget– Annex III: Accession forms– Annex IV: Financial statements– Annex V: CfS– Annex VI: CoM
Model Grant Agreement-3
• What will remain from FP7:– GAs as the main funding stream– Reimb. of actual costs as the main funding method
• What will be new in H2020:– Specific provisions for new forms of funding targeting
innovation (PCP-PPI)– Output-based grants (lump-sums)– Enhanced use of flat rates and unit costs
Minimum Conditions and
Eligibility for Funding
Minimum Conditions
• R&I and Innovation Actions At least 3 legal entities in MSs or ACs
• ERC, SME Instrument, Co-Funding Actions, CSAs, Training and mobility actions One legal entity in MSs and ACs, or One legal entity

Simplification
Simplification At a Glance…• One of the main goals of Horizon2020• 3 main aims::
– Reduce the management costs,– Fasten and shorten project proposal and support
processes (min 12 months to max 8 months)
– Reduce financial error rate• In FP7, though complicated and detailed audits and
rules; error rate is too high. (around %4)
Financial Error Rate•Direct costs
•VAT•Unrelated expend.•Invoices•Depreciation•Sub-contracting expenses
•Personnel Costs•Timesheet•Ineligible and estim. declar. of costs
•Indirect Costs•Wrong/over declaration
Context of Simplification-1• A single set of rules for all the parts of the
programme• A new and user-friendly IT system (electronic
signature)• Financial Viability Check
– Only for the coordinators with equal of/more than €500.000 budgets)
• Certificate of Financial Statement (CFS)– €375.000 €325.000 (only once at the end of
the project)• Possible auditing time after the project (5 to 2
years)• Financial error rate %2 utmost (as in FP6)
• One reimbursement with one indirect cost rates• Wider acceptance of average personnel costs• Supplemantary payments for non-profit organizations up to
€8.000 per year/person• Average personnel costs – esp. for SMEs without salary (Marie
Sklodowska-Curie Programme scale)• Timesheets (researchers working exclusively on the project
excluded)• VAT as an eligible cost
