4/11/2017 What is Horizon 2020 The new European Union programme for research and innovation for 2014-2020 A budget of just over €79 billion; 30 per cent higher in real terms than the 2007-2013 period A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union & European Research Area: Responding to the economic crisis to invest in jobs and growth Addressing people’s concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment Strengthening the EU’s global position in research, innovation and technology

Overall UK Performance in FP7 EU provides up to 20% of HEIs‘ external research income UK received 15.2% of FP7 spend (second only to Germany – 16.1%) Benefiting from a total of 6.142 billion euro EU contribution (5.05 billion GBP) 2 670 UK organisations participate in 9 155 FP7 projects UK is 2nd in number of participants and budget share amongst EU-28 (and 1st in both participations and budget share in 2012 and 2013) Success rate for applications is 23.1 % (higher than EU average: 20.9%) 3

Major Simplification 4/11/2017 A single set of rules for all funding under Horizon 2020 Fewer, more flexible, funding instrument /More coherent with other new EU Programmes Simpler reimbursement: 1 project = 1 funding rate 100% of the total eligible costs (70% for innovation actions) Single flat rate for indirect costs (25% of eligible costs) Faster time to grant - Within 8 months of call deadline in most cases Simplification in grant agreements e.g. no time-sheets for personnel working full time on a project

New approach to WPs and calls 4/11/2017 New approach to WPs and calls More strategic work programmes Focusing on areas where EU level action has greatest impact With a coherent set of actions from research to innovation Greater integrated across different parts of Horizon 2020 Less prescriptive calls More open to innovative proposals Stronger emphasis on impact Stimulating inter-disciplinary projects Two year work programmes Greater participation in setting work programmes, including by citizens More advanced notice for applicants
