Structure of H2020: Three Pillars

Pillar 1: Excellent Science Funding (€ million, ) European Research Council (ERC) Frontier research by the best individual teams Future and Emerging Technologies Collaborative research to open new fields of innovation Marie Sklodowska-Curie actions (MSCA) Opportunities for training and career development6 162 Research infrastructures (including e-infrastructure) Ensuring access to world-class facilities2 488

Pillar 2: Industrial Technologies Funding (€ million, ) Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies (LEITs) (ICT, nanotechnologies, materials, biotechnology, manufacturing, space) Access to risk finance Leveraging private finance and venture capital for research and innovation Innovation in SMEs Fostering all forms of innovation in all types of SMEs complemented by expected 20% of budget of societal challenges + LEITs and 'Access to risk finance' with strong SME focus

Pillar 3: Societal Challenges Funding (€ million, ) Health, demographic change and wellbeing7 472 Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research & the Bioeconomy Secure, clean and efficient energy *5 931 Smart, green and integrated transport6 339 Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials3 081 Inclusive and reflective societies1 309 Secure societies1 695 Science with and for society462 Spreading excellence and widening participation816  Additional funding for nuclear safety and security from the Euratom Treaty activities ( )
