EUs new Research Program

BackgroundPolitical priorities in the EU

European Research Area (ERA) Free movement of knowledge/ “fifth freedom” – internal market for research

Europe 2020 Ensure Europe's competitiveness, new jobs and economic growth

Innovation Union 1. Become a World class Science Performer 2. Remove barriers to innovation 3. Revolutionize public–private partnership

Horizon 2020 Instrument to reach the objectives set out above

How will your research project contribute to solving European problems?

Horizon 2020• One program bringing together three previous

programmes (FP7, CIP, EIT)• Linking research and innovation closely together• Focus on societal challenges; e.g. health, clean

energy and transport• Simplified rules for universities, enterprises and

institutes in all EU member states and beyond

Horizon 2020

• Two-year work programme – calls for proposals are more general

• 100% coverage of direct costs + 25% overhead for all institutions

• Reduction of average time from application to contract - approx. 250 days

How to write successful proposals ? 1. Sell your idea/project proposal!

- why bother? (what problem are you solving?)- is it an European priority? or will this establish Europe as a

international leader?- is the solution/knowledge already available?- why now? - why you?

2. Risk evaluation

3. Be aware of your strengths and weakness’

4. Make a project plan: - what will be done?- how long time will it take? and when will it be done?- who will do the work?

Project plan = Work plan – Time schedule – Resources
