3. The future
FP7 comes to an end this year. The Commission want to carry on funding Research and Innovation
The replacement scheme <click> is called Horizon 2020 – it is still under development
and not all the details are yet public.
What follows is what we know today, and are reasonably sure that it represents the future.
is now!

4. What is new? A single programme (FP7 + CIP + EIT)
Strong focus on societal challenges (game changing for ICT…)
More innovation
Reaching out to non-traditional actors
More risk taking
Strengthened support for high-tech SMEs
More open, light & fast schemes
Budget 79 B € (at current prices)
Horizon 2020 must address current challenges and opportunities.
It will be a break from the past. The main requirements stand out:
A less complicated swifter scheme
and better coupling between research and the marketplace.
The first step is to amalgamate the three predecessors programmes into a single entity
With a single set of rules, less paperwork, and faster response.
attracting the best researchers and innovators regardless of where they are located
All forms of innovation will be included, including innovation in services and social innovation.
Support will also be given to develop the market and legal frameworks for innovations to be deployed,
such as on public procurement, standard setting and regulations.
seamless funding then of research through innovation and beyond to
the threshold of commercial exploitation.
Previously separate activities will be brought together to focus on the societal challenges
such as health, clean energy and transport.
But the overall aims remain: <click> Growth Jobs Competitiveness and Horizon 2020 sets
out to make that easier

5. H2020: What’s Important? Societal Challenges Excellent Science
Industrial
leadership
Excellent Science is a fundamental
But its application is important <click>
This gives rise to the Three Pillars upon which H2020 is based
Excellent Science
Industrial Leadership
Societal challenges
So how is this being arranged?

6. Main elements of H2020 A simple funding model:
100% Direct Costs + 25%
Faster time to grant, Less audits
Time-to-grant of 8 months ("5 + 3 months”)
Dedication of budgets to key topics
SME Research & Innovation, Energy and FET
Fast Track to Innovation Pilot:
A Fast Track to Innovation pilot is to be launched in 2015 :
The main elements of the compromise are that
the funding will be simpler than it has been in the past,
The money is simpler: For research, The Commission will pay for all of the
eligible direct costs that are incurred a the project, plus 25% as a contribution
to the indirect costs of the participants.
If the project is about innovation, which means that it is closer to market than
research then the 100% becomes 70%.
The time to Grant is to be 8 months from the call deadline. <Breath><change gear>
The 25% may make difficulties in large Infrastructure projects so there is a ‘get out of jail free card for them
A number of adjustments have been made to the Specific Programme
And there has been some earmarking of budgets in favour of SMEs,
open calls in the Future and Emerging Technologies area and in the Energy domain
INNOVATION and Simplification

7. Research and innovation actions
To establish new knowledge and/or to explore the feasibility of a new or improved technology, product, process, service or solution.
May include
basic and applied research,
technology development and integration,
testing and validation on a small-scale prototype in a laboratory or simulated environment.

8. Innovation actions
Producing plans and arrangements or designs for new, altered or improved products, processes or services.
May include
prototyping,
testing,
demonstrating,
piloting,
large-scale product validation and market replication.

9. Coordination and support actions
Actions consisting primarily of accompanying measures such as:
standardisation,
dissemination,
awareness-raising and communication,
networking,
coordination or support services,
policy dialogues
mutual learning exercises and studies, including design studies for new infrastructure
may also include complementary activities of networking and coordination between programmes in different countries.

11. SME instrument in Horizon 2020
So how will Horizon 2020 work for SMEs? 11

12. SME support: integrated approach
Eurostars II Enhancing Innovation Capacity Market-driven Innovation
Access to Risk Finance
SME instrument
Collaborative projects
'Innovation in SMEs'
20 % budgetary
target in Industrial & Social
In a number of ways
Firstly the highly successful SME specific Eurostars programme will continue.
This si a bottom up process involving National agencies as the pay masters
SMEs will be welcome in all of the Collaborative projects where they are suited and in some cases their presence may be mandatory.
The novel access to Risk Finance and similar activities in the Industrial Leadership
pillar which we will hear about later will be there to support them.
BUT most importantly There is to be this new bottom up Instrument specifically targeted at SMEs
The first thing to note is this it is NOT The SAME as the old “Research for the benefit
of SME’s” instrument
This has, under various names been a feature of EU Research for at least three Frameworks

13. SME instrument ? IDEA business coaching throughout the project MARKET

Commercialisation

Delivers Business plan etc = First Commercialisation Plan
Based upon First
Commercialisation Plan
1 – 5 M€ Grant
50% success rate
No Direct Financial support
Mentoring etc
by Support Projects
It will work like this from Idea to Market
An SME starts out with new idea. and can then get small grant to pursue the idea.
If that comes good there’s a second grant available to do the next step
And Thirdlly there are supporting schemes to help with the commercialisation.
Gotchas:
Money to SMEs Only

This is a picture of the whole workprogramme. and the way in which it will be subdivided
Let’s look for the ICT
Top right we can see the Industrial Leadership pillar an Item ICT,
It has a subdivision called LEIT: Leadership in Enabling Industrial Technologies
This is where the main ICT element lives.
This workprogramme element <click> will define the core ICT activity
I guess the budget here will be about €6 or €7 Billion Euros.
But the ICT also appears in other places, <click> its all over the Societal challenges,
so there will be ICT elements in the Work Programme sections for
secure, clean and efficient energy, as there will be in climate action etc.
There will also be ICT in the Excellence in the Science Base pillar,
principally in the research infrastructure space where there is interest in very high power computing
and in the Future and Emerging Technologies area.
So there will be many Work Programme sections which an ICT organisation
might want to read and pay attention to.
