Why Apply for EU Funding?
Prestigious and world renowned – boosts reputation/visiblility Large budget available/up to 5 years of funding World-wide collaborations, create strong research networks Strongly encourage working with industry and SME’s Huge variety in the possibility of research (i.e. bottom up/top down) Improved bureaucracy – main aim is successful research Dedicated EU Grants and Contracts Team at York York Compliant to EU It should be fun and exciting! Vibrant, diverse consortiums developing the
future of research with one of the most prestigious funders supporting you.
Horizon 2020 Intro
Biggest EU Research and Innovation programme yet, with 79 billion euros of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020)
Main Aims of H2020- o Strengthen the EU’s position in science o Improve European economy. o Address major societal concerns shared by all Europeans such as
sustainable food security, health and well-being, the challenge of an ageing population, developing sustainable transport and mobility, affordable renewable energy and climate change.
Work Programme Part 1 (2014/15)

Tips for Success in Societal Challenges
1. Scientific Excellence, especially something innovative and different
2. Societal and economic benefit and growth is a big theme – Engaging industry and SMEs
3. Strong partnership with Member States and international cooperation
5. Demonstration of product/research and promotion of your research (include costs for a website and outreach activity to promote results/H2020), open access (€5k per partner)
6. Evidence of sound financial management (include some costs for administration)
7. Clear Leadership and organisation of the project
8. Gender equality in research and attention to Ethical issues
Horizon 2020 - European Research Council
Support to the individual researcher No predetermined subjects (bottom-up approach);
all disciplines and cross boundaries between research fields - pioneering Frontier research projects – ground-breaking nature , novel
hypotheses, new and emerging fields of research, etc. Excellence is the sole criterion (of the idea & the individual) Open to all researchers from anywhere in the world willing to do
research in Europe Highly competitive; restrictions on re-applying (C:2 ys, B:1y) –

Other H2020 Funding
Horizon 2020 - Rules for Participation Single set of rules for everyone (academia & industry)
One project – one funding rate• 100% of direct costs for all types of partners • 70% for actions close to market (100% for non-for profit entities)• Indirect costs: a flat rate of 25% of direct eligible costs
Non-deductible VAT is eligible cost Audit is not subcontract anymore; one at end of project if EC contr > €325K The audit threshold doesn’t count flat rate costs (i.e. overheads and most
Marie Curie Costs). Improved rules on intellectual property, new emphasis on open access Fewer, more targeted audits from EC Reduction of average time to grant No timesheets for staff who are 100% on grant
