Framework Programme 7 2007-13, €52.521bn 4 “Pillars” Research and Innovation Service Framework Programme 7 2007-13, €52.521bn 4 “Pillars” Large or small/medium research projects Changes implemented after mid-term review and financial crisis ‘Bridging the gap’ activities, especially in final calls Research and Innovation Service

What is the structure of Horizon 2020? Research and Innovation Service What is the structure of Horizon 2020? European Commission released a proposal on 30th November 2011 Three broad areas: Tackling Societal Challenges Creating Industrial Leadership and Competitive Frameworks Raising Excellence in the Science Base Research and Innovation Service

Horizon 2020 vs FP7 Research and Innovation Service Horizon 2020 Objective Specific Areas FP7 Equivalent Tackling societal challenges   Multi-disciplinary, collaborative research projects - Grand Challenges Health, demographic changes and wellbeing Cooperation: Health Theme Food security and bio-based economy Cooperation: Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Biology Theme Secure, clean and efficient energy Cooperation: Energy Theme smart, green and integrated transport Cooperation: Transport Theme Resource efficiency and climate Cooperation: Environment Theme Inclusive, Innovative and Responsive Societies Cooperation: SSH Theme Secure societies Cooperation: Security Theme Creating industrial leadership & competitive frameworks Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies Cooperation: covering ICT, NMP and Space themes Innovation in SMEs Capacities: Research for the benefit of SMEs Access to risk finance Risk-sharing Finance Facility Raising excellence in the science base  ‘Bottom-up’ research European Research Council (ERC) Marie Curie Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) Cooperation: ICT theme FET component European research infrastructures Capacities: Research Infrastructures

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

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

Duration and Budget Research and Innovation Service Duration: 7 years, 2014-2020 Budget: €70.2 billion awarded Or is it €79bn??!! Research and Innovation Service

Research and Innovation Service The Role of Industry

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 Research and Innovation Service

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.

How do we manage industrial links? Research and Innovation Service How do we manage industrial links? Do we manage them? At what level? Transformation Funds? Hubs? Schools? Faculties? Personal? Do we need to manage them? Research and Innovation Service

Research and Innovation Service How do we encourage involvement of strategic links, personal links and new links? Research and Innovation Service

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

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

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

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

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? Research and Innovation Service
