7. How will Horizon 2020 differ from FP7?
Research and Innovation Service
How will Horizon 2020 differ from FP7?
Not a straight continuation from FP7
Inclusion of Innovation
Incorporates 3 funding programmes in the field of research and innovation:
The Framework Programme
The Competitiveness and Innovation Programme (CIP)
The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT)
Research and Innovation Service

8. How will Horizon 2020 differ from FP7?
Research and Innovation Service
How will Horizon 2020 differ from FP7?
Topics for funding are much broader
Topics are less prescriptive
Much more emphasis on use of results
Uptake of results into products/processes/society requires non-academic partners, and frequently industrial partners
Research and Innovation Service

9. Duration and Budget Research and Innovation Service
Duration: 7 years, Budget: €70.2 billion awarded Or is it €79bn??!!

10. Research and Innovation Service
The Role of Industry

11. Generally Collaborative projects ITNs Research and Innovation Service
Societal Challenges
Roles as RTD performers, end users, quality control, prototyping and proof of concept
ITNs
Mandatory non-academic partner
Intersectoral opportunities
Offer placements / training
Little commitment

13. Why should they participate?
Research and Innovation Service
Why should they participate?
Horizon 2020 will not work without them
Better reimbursement of costs
‘Catch up’ with other EU member states
BIS has been attempting to redress the imbalance of UK industrial participation since early FP7 compared to DE and FR.

19. What barriers do you feel could prevent industry from participating?
Research and Innovation Service
What barriers do you feel could prevent industry from participating?
How can we overcome them?
How would you sell H2020 to them?
Research and Innovation Service

20. Barriers Split into groups
Research and Innovation Service
Barriers
Split into groups
Write as many ideas as you can on separate post-its
‘Cluster’ common ideas into groups
Research and Innovation Service

21. Research and Innovation Service
Barriers
Impact – how much impact will the problem identified have on Industrial participation
“Solve-ability” – is there an obvious solution immediately? Or not?
Research and Innovation Service

22. + + - Barriers Research and Innovation Service Impact “Solve-ability”

23. Research and Innovation Service
Barriers – next step
For the problems that are of high impact and low solve-ability:
What could be done to make this lower impact on participation?
What could be done to start solving the issue? – e.g. what are the constituent parts of the problem that can be addressed?
