1 Horizon 2020 Opportunities Nanotechnology Ian Devine, UK Research Office 30/03/2016

2 Horizon 2020 overview The EU's funding programme for research and innovation Runs for seven years from Almost 80 billion of funding Structured around three pillars including a wide range of different funding schemes

3 Horizon 2020 structure Excellent Science Industrial Leadership Societal Challenges European Research Council (ERC) Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) Marie Skłodowska- Curie Actions (MSCA) Research Infrastructures Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologies (LEIT) - ICT, NMBP, Space Access to Risk Finance Innovation in SMEs Health and Wellbeing Energy Transport Food security Climate action Societies Security Spreading excellence and widening participation, Science with and for society, Fast Track to Innovation Pilot European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) EURATOM Joint Research Centre (JRC)

Industrial Leadership - Rationale Aim: to speed up development of technologies and innovations that will underpin tomorrow's businesses and help innovative European SMEs to grow into world-leading

4 Industrial Leadership - Rationale Aim: to speed up development of technologies and innovations that will underpin tomorrow's businesses and help innovative European SMEs to grow into world-leading companies Promotes activities in which industry sets the agenda Provides major investment in key industrial technologies Maximises growth potential of European companies by providing adequate financing levels Places Europe at the forefront of the new industrial revolution Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologies (LEIT) - ICT, KETs, Space Access to Risk Finance Innovation in SMEs

LEIT Key Enabling Technologies Strong focus on industrial involvement and applied research Developing industrial capacity in focus areas: Key

5 LEIT Key Enabling Technologies Strong focus on industrial involvement and applied research Developing industrial capacity in focus areas: Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) Micro- and nano-electronics, Photonics Nanotechnologies Advanced Materials Biotechnology Advanced Manufacturing and Processing

6 Nanotechnology, Advanced Materials, Biotechnology & Advanced Manufacturing & Processing (NMBP)

10 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Work Programme.. Ensure excellent and innovative research training as well as attractive career and knowledge-exchange opportunities through cross-border and cross-sector mobility of researchers to best prepare them to face current and future societal challenges. Total budget: 6.2bn

11 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Innovative Training Networks (ITN) For Early Stage Researchers Individual Fellowships (IF) For Experienced Researchers Research and Support Staff Exchange (RISE) Exchange visits (secondments) of staff Co-funding of programmes (COFUND) For regional, national, international doctoral or fellowship programmes

12 European Research Council (ERC) The fundamental activity of the ERC is to provide attractive, long-term funding to support excellent investigators and their research teams to pursue groundbreaking, high-gain/high-risk research. Scientific excellence is the sole criterion on the basis of which ERC frontier research grants are awarded. The ERC s frontier research grants operate on a bottomup basis without predetermined priorities. ERC Work Programme 2016 text

13 ERC Grant Schemes Starting Grants For PIs 2-7 years from PhD, up to 2 million for 5 years Consolidator Grants For PIs 7-12 years from PhD, up to 2.75 million for 5 years Advanced Grants For leading researchers, up to 3.5 million for 5 years. Synergy Grants for 2 to 4 PIs, up to 15 million for 6 years. No call in 2016 or Proof of Concept For ERC grant holders only, up to 150,000 for 18 months Horizon 2020 Funding Rates Apply 100% Actual Direct Costs & 25% Indirect Flat-rate

14 Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) FET shall support collaborative research in order to extend Europe's capacity for advanced and paradigm-changing innovation. It shall foster scientific collaboration across disciplines on radically new, high-risk ideas and accelerate development of the most promising emerging areas of science and technology as well as the Union-wide structuring of the corresponding scientific communities. (Regulation establishing Horizon 2020)

15 What is FET? FET Open Exploring novel ideas Early ideas Collaborative research projects Bottom-up: nonprescriptive with regard to the nature or purpose of the envisaged technologies FET Proactive Developing topics & communities Exploration and incubation Topical clusters of research projects Specific areas defined in the Work Programme Also: separate call to implement part of the European HPC strategy FET Flagships Addressing grand challenges Large-scale partnering initiatives Common research agendas Two Flagships launched: Graphene and the Human Brain Project Open, light and agile Roadmap based research

16 Horizon 2020 The basics on participation

19 International Cooperation in Horizon 2020

20 What is international cooperation? In the context of Horizon 2020, international co-operation refers to collaboration with any legal entity based in the socalled third countries that are neither EU Member States nor Associated Countries.

21 Go Global! International cooperation (with third countries) is a crosscutting issue in Horizon 2020 and for many topics, INCO is a necessity dictated by the Work Programmes i.e. food security, climate action, transport Not all topics require involving third countries, but... having one third country organisation on board increases chances of being on the main list by 17% having two or more third country organisations increases chances of being on the main list by 25% There is no guidance provided on this by the Commission to expert evaluators. INCO is simply seen as added value!

22 National funding programmes for TC that no longer qualify for EU funding CONACYT sponsors Mexican organisations participating in any Horizon 2020 action. Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) funding Australian participations in actions under Societal Challenge 1 (Health, demographic change and wellbeing) Russian Federal Programme sponsors Russian scientists participating in any part of Horizon 2020 MSIP/MOTIE funding in South Korea Regular calls for proposals launched by relevant ministries in Korea ASTIP Programme sponsors Chinese participations in all actions under Societal Challenge 2
