What is Horizon 2020? Commission proposal for an 80 billion euro research and innovation funding programme (2014-2020) Beware: Proposal under political discussion! 13
What is Horizon 2020? Commission proposal for an 80 billion euro research and innovation funding programme (2014-2020) Objectives As a core part of Europe 2020, Union & European Research Area: - Responding to the economic crisis to invest in future jobs and growth 14
Investment in R&D is part of the solution to exit from the economic crises 15
What is Horizon 2020? Commission proposal for an 80 billion euro research and innovation funding programme (2014-2020) Objectives As a core part of Europe 2020, Union & European Research Area: - Responding to the economic crisis to invest in future jobs and growth - Addressing people s concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment - Strengthening the EU s global position in research, innovation and technology 16
Horizon 2020: What is 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 Focus on participation by SMEs (e.g. SME instrument, single participant possible) 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 17 and Technology (EIT)

Three priorities: 1. Excellent science 2. Industrial leadership 3. Societal challenges Slide 19 of 23
3. Societal challenges: proposed funding (million euro, 2014-2020) Health, demographic change and wellbeing 8 033 Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research & the bioeconomy 4 152 Secure, clean and efficient energy* 5 782 Smart, green and integrated transport 6 802 Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials 3 160 Inclusive, innovative and secure societies 3 819 * Additional 1 788m for nuclear safety and security from the Euratom Treaty activities (2014-2018). Does not include ITER. 20
Societal Challenge 2: Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research and the bioeconomy (a) Sustainable agriculture and forestry (b) Sustainable and competitive agri-food sector for a safe and healthy diet (c) Unlocking the potential of aquatic living resources (d) Sustainable and competitive bio-based industries 21
Sub-challenge 2b: Sustainable and competitive agri-food sector for a safe and healthy diet Informed consumer choices Healthy and safe foods and diets for all A sustainable and competitive agri-food industry 22

Horizon 2020: Implementation (1) Collaborative Projects and Coordination & Support Actions (calls for proposals) European Institute of & Technology (EIT), theme planned in 2014: Food4future Sustainable food supply chain from resources to consumers European Partnerships: Not funding instruments, but for coordination with broader policies and programmes, for example "Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability" 24 Slide 24 of 23
Horizon 2020: implementation (2) Public private partnerships: Through Joint Technology Initiatives (JTIs) or other formal structures (Art. 187) Trough contractual agreements, which provide inputs for work programmes Only when criteria met, e.g. clear commitments from private partners Public public partnerships: "Concerted and joint planning, implementation and evaluation of national research programmes" Through «ERA-Nets» for topping up individual calls/actions (replacing current ERA-Net, ERA-Net Plus, Inco-Net, Inno-net) Through participation in joint programmes between Member States (Art. 185) Supporting agendas of Joint Programming Initiatives (JPIs) when in line with Horizon 2020 25

Horizon 2020: Simplification (1) Structural simplification: integration of 3 programmes, fewer legal acts, coherent set of rules applicable to all actions, common toolkit of funding schemes, Revised control and risk strategy: extension of he guarantee fund, reduction of ex-ante checks (e.g. financial capacity check only for coordinators), targeted ex-post audit strategy (focus on risk-based audits andfraud detection) Revision of implementation processes: single IT platform, review of (guidance documents for) proposal submission, negotiation, reporting, etc. 36
Horizon 2020: Simplification (2) Simpler funding rules Direct costs: real costs with broader acceptance of usual accounting practice, e.g. average personnel costs Indirect costs: single flat rate (20%) Single maximum reimbursement rate in a project (100% or 70%) Simpler time recording; no time recording for staff working 100% on the project Consequences: major simplification of legal entity validation; simpler budgeting, more flexibility in ongoing projects, shorter time-to-grant, lower risk of errors, 37
