Horizon 2020Commission proposal

EU budget 2014-2020 & Horizon 2020

EU budget€ 1,025bn

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)

Horizon 2020€ 80bn

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

Horizon 2020: What’s new?

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

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

Excellent science (M€, 2014-20)

Industrial leadership

Why:

Strategic investments in key technologies (e.g. advanced manufacturing, micro-electronics) underpin innovation across existing and emerging sectorsEurope needs to attract more private investment in research and innovationEurope needs more innovative SMEs to create growth and jobs

Leadership in enabling & industrial technologies (ICT, nanotechnologies, materials, biotechnology, manufacturing, space)

13 781

Access to risk finance

Leveraging private finance and venture capital for research and innovation

Industrial leadership (M€, 2014-20)

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 & humanitiesPromising solutions need to be tested, demonstrated and scaled up

Health, demographic change and wellbeing 8 033

Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research & the bio-economy

4 152

Secure, clean and efficient energy* 5 782

Smart, green and integrated transport 6 802

secure societies' 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'

Ongoing: Parliament and Council negotiations on EU budget 2014-20 (including R&I) and Horizon 2020

• What it means in practice: • Best effort: strongly encourages researchers & publishers to comply, while guaranteeing

scientific freedom

1. Seek information

2. If publishers' policies do not allow compliance, authors request authorisation to self-archive or negotiate amendment with publishers

3. If negotiations unsuccessful, consider submitting to another journal

4. If cannot comply with SC39, inform EC with e.g. publisher’s proof of refusal
