A single programme: 80 billion research and innovation funding programme (2014-2020) 30 years history WHAT IS HORIZON 2020? 28 Member States 24% of world expenditure on research 32% of high-impact publications 32% of patent applications 16 Associated Countries Coupling research with innovation: 'from lab to market' Collaborative research and individual grants Focus on societal challenges: health, clean energy, transport, etc. Open to participation: companies, universities, institutes in the EU and beyond; cross sectoral, cross disciplinary, cross institutional, cross boundary, Open to the world 3
Benefits of collaboration under Horizon 2020 - Open to the world join top level research teams - Networks - all TRL (from basic research to market) - high level joint publications in EN - communication in EN - learning and training programmes (for young researchers, support staff) - one entry point, one sets of rules (leading role of the coordinator) - success rate ca. 20% - internationalization (average project 10 organisations 5-7 countries) - exchange / receive researchers (IF, RISE) Open to the world - standardization / trends - competition / collaboration 4
