9. Horizon 2020 Commission proposal

10. Commission proposal of 29 June 2011 and 30 November 2011
EU budget & Horizon 2020
Commission proposal of 29 June 2011 and 30 November 2011
Key challenge: to stabilise the financial and economic system while taking measures to create economic opportunities (cf. R&I)
EU budget
€ 1,025bn
Horizon 2020
€ 80bn

11. Horizon 2020: What’s new?
A single programme bringing together three separate programmes/initiatives (FP7, CIP, EIT)
Coupling research to innovation - from research to retail, all forms of innovation
Simplified access for all companies, universities, institutes in all EU countries and beyond
Focus on three pillars:
Excellent science
Industrial leadership
Societal challenges

12. Excellent science Why:
World class science is the foundation of tomorrow’s technologies, jobs and wellbeing
Europe needs to develop, attract and retain research talent
Researchers need access to the best infrastructures

13. Excellent science (M€, 2014-20)
European Research Council
Frontier research by the best individual teams
13 268
Future and Emerging Technologies
Collaborative research to open new fields of innovation
3 100
Marie Curie actions
Opportunities for training and career development
5 572
Research infrastructures (including e-infrastructure) - Ensuring access to world-class facilities
2 478

14. Industrial leadership
Why:
Strategic investments in key technologies (e.g. advanced manufacturing, micro-electronics) underpin innovation across existing and emerging sectors
Europe needs to attract more private investment in research and innovation
Europe needs more innovative SMEs to create growth and jobs

15. Industrial leadership (M€, 2014-20)
Leadership in enabling & industrial technologies (ICT, nanotechnologies, materials, biotechnology, manufacturing, space)
13 781

16. Societal challenges Why:
Concerns of citizens and society/EU policy objectives (climate, environment, energy, transport etc) cannot be achieved without innovation
Breakthrough solutions come from multi-disciplinary collaborations, including social sciences & humanities
Promising solutions need to be tested, demonstrated and scaled up

Integrated in all Societal Challenges
Supported through the 'Excellent Science' part of H2020 (ERC, Marie Curie and Infrastructures)
The Societal Challenges will bring together different technologies, sectors, scientific disciplines, social sciences and humanities, and innovation actors to find new solutions to these challenges 
Humanistic, cultural, artistic and fine arts perspective are included within the 'Social innovation" framework of the Societal Challenge ' Inclusive, innovative and secure societies'

20. Open access in FP7 Further information:
What it means in practice:
Best effort: strongly encourages researchers & publishers to comply, while guaranteeing scientific freedom
Seek information
If publishers' policies do not allow compliance, authors request authorisation to self-archive or negotiate amendment with publishers
If negotiations unsuccessful, consider submitting to another journal
If cannot comply with SC39, inform EC with e.g. publisher’s proof of refusal
