1 Mariano Menna DG Research & DERri Final Meeting, Milano, Italy, 10 th -11 th October 2013 Research Infrastructures and Horizon 2020 The EU Framework Programme for Research and Research and

2 Europe 2020 Strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth (5 targets) 3% of the EU's GDP to be invested in R&D 7 flagship initiatives Union, flagship initiative 34 detailed commitments European Research Area EU Multiannual Financial Framework for (Commission proposal) Horizon 2020, EU Framework Programme for Research and Priorities >> actions Research and

3 What is Horizon 2020 Commission proposal for a 80 billion euro research and innovation funding programme ( ) Part of proposals for next EU budget, complementing Structural Funds, education, etc. A core part of Europe 2020, Union & European Research Area: Responding to the economic crisis to invest in future jobs and growth Addressing peoples concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment. Strengthening the EU s global position in research, innovation and technology

4 HORIZON 2020 Rules for participation and dissemination Stakeholders consultation Some key messages from the stakeholders REDUCE INCREASE MAINTAIN & IMPROVE Different sets of rules Administrative burden Complexity Excessive controls Time-to-grant Time-to-pay Trust Reliance on the usual accounting practices Consistency in the application of the rules New forms of funding (eg. prizes, output based, etc) Reimbursement of real costs as the main funding mode Simplification measures Funding levels Basic IPR orientations Other successful elements of FP7

5 600 Access over Framework Programmes total = Mathematics and Computer Sciences Computer Sciences Social Sciences Number of RIs FP2 ( ) Social Sciences and Humanities Life Sciences Environment and Earth Sciences Engineering and Energy Physics and Astronomy FP3 ( ) FP4 ( ) FP5 ( ) FP6 ( ) Life Sciences Environment Engineering Physics FP7 ( )

6 What s new? A single programme bringing together three separate programmes/initiatives* Coupling research to innovation - from research to retail, all forms of innovation Focus on societal challenges facing EU society, e.g. health, clean energy and transport Simplified access, for all companies, universities, institutes in all EU countries and beyond. *The 7th research Framework Programme (FP7), innovation aspects of Competitiveness and Framework Programme (CIP), EU contribution to the European Institute of and Technology (EIT)

7 Horizon 2020, three priorities: 1. Excellent science 2. Industrial leadership 3. Societal challenges Research and

8 Priority 1. 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

9 Proposed funding (million euro, ) European Research Council Frontier research by the best individual teams Future and Emerging Technologies Collaborative research to open new fields of innovation Marie Curie actions Opportunities for training and career development Research infrastructures (including e-infrastructures) Ensuring access to world-class facilities

10 Why a EU approach? To open access to the research infrastructures existing in the individual Member State to all European researchers To avoid duplication of effort and to coordinate and rationalise the use of these research infrastructures To trigger the exchange of best practice, develop interoperability of facilities and resources, develop the training of the next generation of researchers To connect national research communities and increase the overall quality of the research and innovation To help pooling resources so that the Union can also acquire and operate research infrastructures at world level

11 From FP7 to Horizon 2020 An increased budget, from around 1.7 billion (FP7) to 2.5 billion (Horizon constant prices) New activities to support the implementation and operation of world-class infrastructures such as ESFRI infrastructures Continuation of the successful FP7 Integrating Activities Reinforcement of the support to e-infrastructures New objective of better exploiting the innovation potential and human capital of infrastructures
