3. From FP7 to H2020

4. From FP7 to H2020
FP7
- The Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological
Development.
- Ran from 2007 to 2013.
- It had a funding budget of around 55 bn Euros.
HORIZON 2020
- The new Framework Programme for Research and Innovation
- Started on 1/1/2014 and runs for 7 years too
- The funding budget is now 80 bn Euro
With that budget H2020 is much bigger than FP7, however it combines the current
CIP (3.6 bn Euro) and the old FP7.
Will H2020 be very different to FP7?
IS there anything radically new in H2020?
Major changes
So the first conclusion is that everything is there again in H2020 !
Naturally, topic areas change as well as the overall focus.
The proposed (foreseen) budget for the 6 Societal Challenges, however, has nearly doubled ! (6 Enabling Technologies corresponds the amount in FP7 for
those Thematic Areas)
A similar budget increase is proposed for the European Research Council – the old “Ideas Programme”. (Also, for the Marie Curie actions a similar budget
is foreseen as in the old “People Programme”.)
So everything seems to be pretty similar to FP7, but …
FP7 was called the
Framework Programme for Research and
Development
H2020 is called the
Innovation

11. Types of actions supported by H2020 grants
Research and Innovation Actions
Innovation Actions
Coordination and Support Actions
SME Instrument
ERANET Co-fund
Pre-commercial Procurement Co- fund
Public Procurement of Innovative Solutions Co-fund

12. Rules of Participation
Minimum Conditions:
For standard (cooperative) research projects:
3 participants from member states or from associated countries (any international partner must come in addition to this minimum)
For single-partner actions, like European Research Council, Marie Skłodowska-Curie, SME or training and mobility actions:
1 entity in an MS or associated country
Additional conditions: may be listed in the Work Programme

13. Simplified Funding Model
One reimbursement rate by action The same rate for all beneficiaries and all activities: – Up to 100% for Research and Innovation actions – Up to 70% for innovation (non-profit entities up to 100%) – Up to 70% for PCP co-fund, 33% for ERANET co-fund, 20% for PPI co-fund
One method for calculation of indirect costs:
– Flat rate of 25% of total direct costs, excluding subcontracting, costs of third
parties and financial support to third parties

14. Eligibility for funding
Automatically eligible for funding:
EU-Member States
The Overseas Countries and Territories linked to Member States
Associated Countries
"Developing" countries (low or medium per-capita income or low GDP)
International European interest organisations
For applicants that are not automatically eligible, funding is possible if:
Provided for under a bilateral scientific and technological agreement
Stated in the Work Programme
Exceptionally, when the Commission deems participation of entity essential

15. INNOVATION

16. What is Innovation
Innovation involves the whole process from opportunity identification, research or invention to development, prototyping, production marketing and sales, while entrepreneurship only needs to involve commercialization –Schumpeter
Innovation = Invention (research) + exploitation Ettlie

17. Innovation and the Private Sector
To ensure that innovation is happening in H2020
SME participation is obligatory in most projects. Around 20% of the total budget for Societal Challenges and LEITs must go to SMEs.
• Europe is full of SMEs who are the main driving factor for innovations
• The situation here is different.
• If you can’t find the right SMEs but have good ideas, create start-ups !
• Find out how institutions like iPark can help you.
• Persuade your universities to teach more on innovation

18. How to see where you are on the way to a product
Technology readiness levels (TRLs)
are measures used to assess the
maturity of evolving technologies
(devices, materials, components,
software, work processes, etc.)
during their development…
Generally speaking, when a new
technology is invented …it is not
suitable for immediate application.
Instead, new technologies are usually
subjected to experimentation,
refinement, and increasingly realistic
testing. Once the technology is
sufficiently proven, it can be
incorporated into a system/subsystem.
-the work programmes include information what TRL should be achieved at the end of the project
-partly information on what TRL the project should start
why to participate
-Creation of new knowledge
-Cooperation across borders
-countries AND
-Science
-Application of knowledge
-Capacity building
