15. Some insights about future opportunities

16. Discussion already started in Brussels to define focus areas for 2018 -2020 period COP21 Circular Economy Digitisation Security Migration

17. Some insights post 2020

18. Foresight about future strategic themes for the period 2020 - 2030 is currently being made by a group of experts selected by the European Commission. Some initial reflections: Healthcare – Gene therapies to treat inherited diseases – New antibiotics – Digitalisation for example: connecting health monitoring devices to patients (switching the paradigm from treatment to prevention,increasing life expectancy whilst controlling the costs) Mobility – Connected cars – Behavioural change Energy – Solar technologies – Energy Transport systems – Energy Storage Technologies Security and Defence – Cybersecurity

19. 19 Back to Horizon 2020: Latest data

20. Latest data (12 oct 2016) * High demand continues More than 117 000 (full) eligible proposals submitted More than 11 000 proposals retained for funding in evaluated sub- calls/cut-off dates, with a requested EU contribution of €20.38 billion Overall success rate below 12% (compared with around 20% for the whole of FP7) but one out of every four high quality proposals is funded Around 10 000 grant agreements signed Time to grant: Ca. 88% of grant agreements were signed within the target of eight months *Source: European Commission

21. Why should I try to get an H2020 project? To play in the «Champions league» of Research and innovation To contribute to keep European and Norvegian competitiveness against main competitors (US, Japan, India, China….) To extend market opportunities for yourself and the Norvegian system To nurture your excellence thanks to collaborations with different cultural environments and actors To become a reference driver for other EU stakeholder in your area of activity To influence EU strategies and approaches so to reflect also Norvegian priorities and capabilities

22. Is it easy? As everything new, needs investment in: – knowledge acquisition – networking activities and positioning But there is an efficient support system around you: – National contact points – Innovation Norway experts – Norvegian research stakeholders with EU projects experience

23. 23 Concluding remark

24. It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock ‘n roll

25. But it’s worth it! EUROPE YOUR PROJECT

26. Thank you for your attention massimo.busuoli@ntnu.no
