The Multiannual Financial Framework 2014-2020:

challenge: stabilise the financial and economic

Youth, Sport Connecting Europe Cohesion Competitive

Sustainable growth, natural resources ( 373

2 The Multiannual Financial Framework : European Council conclusions, 8 February 2013 Key challenge: stabilise the financial and economic system while taking measures to create economic opportunities 1. Smart & inclusive growth ( 451 billion) Education, Youth, Sport Connecting Europe Cohesion Competitive Business SMEs HORIZON Sustainable growth, natural resources ( 373 billion) 3. Security and citizenship ( 16 billion) 4. Global Europe ( 58 billion) 5. Administration ( 61.6 billion) TOTAL 960 billion

3 What is Horizon 2020? 79 billion (current prices) research and innovation funding programme ( ) A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union & European Research Area: Responding to the economic crisis by investing in future jobs and growth Addressing people s concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment Strengthening the EU s global position in research, innovation and technology

4 What's new? A single programme bringing together three separate programmes/initiatives* Coupling research to innovation from research to retail, all forms of innovation Focus on societal challenges facing EU society, e.g. health, clean energy and transport Simplified access, for all companies, universities, institutes in all EU countries and beyond The 7 th Research Framework Programme (FP7), innovation aspects of Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP), EU contribution to the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT)

5 Three priorities Excellent science Industrial leadership Societal challenges

6 Priority 1. 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

7 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 development Research infrastructures (including e-infrastructure) Ensuring access to world-class facilities 2 488

8 Priority 2. 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 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to create growth and jobs

9 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

10 Priority 3. 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

11 Funding ( million, ) Health, demographic change and wellbeing Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research & the Bioeconomy Secure, clean and efficient energy * Smart, green and integrated transport Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials Inclusive and reflective societies Secure societies Science with and for society 462 Spreading excellence and widening participation 816 Additional funding for nuclear safety and security from the Euratom Treaty activities ( )

12 International cooperation International cooperation = key cross-cutting priority of Horizon 2020, in particular to: Strengthen the Union's excellence, as well as its economic competitiveness Tackle global societal challenges Support the Union's external policies Basic approach provided by Horizon 2020 Regulation and Rules for Participation Strategy for international cooperation (COM(2012) 497): enhancing and focusing international cooperation activities (in terms of areas and partners)

13 International cooperation in Horizon 2020 Key message: How? Horizon 2020 is open to participation from across the world! Clear ambition to substantially increase participation of international partners! General opening Targeted international cooperation actions across Horizon 2020 Supported by horizontal international cooperation activities (in Horizon 2020 Challenge 6: follow-up to Capacities INCO programme)

14 General opening Horizon 2020 is open to participation from across the world Automatic funding: Member States (including overseas departments and overseas territories) Associated Countries exhaustive list of countries in annex to work programme (but: no longer BRIC + Mexico in this list!) For other countries, funding only in exceptional cases: when provision is made in the call text bilateral agreement (e.g. Health challenge NIH) when the Commission deems it essential (case by case assessment)

15 Targeted actions Targeted international cooperation activities across Horizon 2020: area for cooperation and partner specified upfront Areas identified based on analysis of a set of criteria to ensure common interest and mutual benefit: Research and innovation excellence Framework conditions/access to markets Contribution to international commitments Frameworks to engage in cooperation and lessons learned Differentiation by countries/regions: enlargement/neighbourhood/efta, industrialised and emerging countries, developing countries International cooperation as part of strategic planning for each part of Horizon 2020 Result: roadmaps for international cooperation with international partners (to be published early 2014)

16 Implementation in WP All research calls are open for Canadian project partners. Horizon 2020 second calls will be published from 11 October Please read the work programmes of the calls.
