I. EXCELLENCE SCIENCEFunding Opportunities for Libraries

Challenge 4 - Research infrastructures • 4.1.3. Development, deployment and operation of ICT-based e-infrastructures

The aim is to achieve by 2020 a single and open European space for online research where researchers enjoy leading-edge, ubiquitous and reliable services for networking and computing, and seamless and open access to e-Science environments and global data resources.

• To achieve this goal, support will be given to: global research and education networks providing advanced, standardised and scalable inter-domain services on-demand; grid and cloud infrastructures providing virtually unlimited computational and data processing capacity; an ecosystem of supercomputing facilities, advancing towards exa-scale; a software and service infrastructure, e.g. for simulation and visualisation; real-time collaborative tools; and an interoperable, open and trusted scientific data infrastructure.

II. INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIPFunding Opportunities for Libraries

Challenge 1 - Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies (LEIT)

• 1.1.4 Content technologies and information management: ICT for digital content and creativity

• The objective is to strengthen Europe’s position as provider of products and services based on individual and business creativity. It will do so by providing professionals and citizens with new tools to create, access, exploit, preserve and re-use all forms of digital content in any language and to model, analyse, and visualise vast amounts of data, including linked data. This includes new technologies for language, learning, interaction, digital preservation, web design, content access, analytics and media; intelligent and adaptive information management systems based on advanced data mining, machine learning, statistical analysis and visual computing technologies.

III. SOCIETAL CHALLENGESFunding Opportunities for Libraries

Challenge 6 - Inclusive, innovative and reflective societies• 6.3 Reflective societies - Cultural heritage and European identity • Aims at contributing to an understanding of Europe's intellectual basis: its history,

traditions, and regional and national identities. In this context, the important role of collections in libraries, museums and archives is highlighted, as well as the need to make this material accessible to researchers and citizens, also through new technologies, to enable a look to the future through the archive of the past. Accessibility and preservation of cultural heritage in these forms is needed for the vitality of the living engagements within and across European cultures now and contributes to sustainable economic growth.

• Research should provide easy-to use tools and services that are demonstrated and validated in large-scale testbeds and can become transparently integrated into social media services. The knowledge and tools resulting from EU-funded research could be used to improve the long-term preservation of commercial online content which is an area with a high potential for economic growth.

H2020 - WP preparations 2014 - 2015

• October to December 2012: Strategic Programming and Orientations• January 2013: start of WP drafting• June/July: MFF Decision• July/August: H2020 Decision• September: Appointment of Programme Committees• September: Selection of NCPs• October: WP Decision• November 6-8: ICT 2013 in Vilnius – Publication of first calls• Spring 2014: closing of first call

Open access to publications and data in Horizon 2020

• Broader and more rapid access to scientific papers and data will make it easier for researchers and businesses to build on the findings of public-funded research.

• This will boost Europe's innovation capacity and give citizens quicker access to the benefits of scientific discoveries.

• As of 2014, all articles produced with funding from Horizon 2020 will have to be accessible: articles will either immediately be made accessible online by the publisher ('Gold' open

access) - up-front publication costs can be eligible for reimbursement by the European Commission; or

researchers will make their articles available through an open access repository no later than six months (12 months for articles in the fields of social sciences and humanities) after publication ('Green' open access).

• The Commission has also recommended that Member States take a similar approach to the results of research funded under their own domestic programmes. The goal is for 60% of European publicly-funded research articles to be available under open access by 2016.

Access to digital resources of European heritageCEF: Connecting Europe Facility

• In October 2011 the Commission adopted a plan which will fund €50 billion worth of investment to improve Europe's transport, energy and digital networks.

• The Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) is one of the key initiatives proposed by the Commission in the context of its package for delivering sustainable growth and jobs. The CEF shall concentrate on high EU added-value projects and shall finance projects which fill the missing links in Europe's energy, transport and digital backbone and remove bottlenecks.

Access to digital resources of European heritageCEF: Connecting Europe Facility

• Digital services - the money would be used for grants to build infrastructure needed to roll out e-ID, eProcurement, electronic health care records, Europeana, eJustice and customs-related services. The money would serve to ensure interoperability and meet the costs of running the infrastructure at European level, linking up Member States' infrastructures.

• For the generic services, CEF will fund: aggregation of content held by cultural institutions and private content holders in the

Member States and contribution of the aggregated content to Europeana crowd-sourcing facilities encouraging interactivity and enabling users to make an

active contribution to the site user-friendly services for the portal as well as cross-language access exchange of rights information and licensing mechanism; competence centres on digitisation and preservation of digital cultural heritage; content repositories for cultural institutions and user-generated

Access to digital resources of European heritageCEF: Connecting Europe Facility

• The objective related to Europeana is building on the current 'Europeana' portal and has a two-fold approach: improve access to culture for all, including for education, work and leisure serve as a hub for the creative industries and for the innovative re-use of cultural material, thus

turning Europe's cultural heritage into a lasting asset for the economy.

• For the core service platform, the CEF will fund the continuous coordination, operation, maintenance, enhancement and promotion of the central services of the Europeana portal (www.europeana.eu) and infrastructure and related networks including:

single access point providing search/access to cultural heritage content at item level a set of application programming interfaces to interact with the infrastructure (search for data,

download data) support for metadata adaptation and ingestion of new content information on conditions for reuse of the content accessible through the infrastructure the means for establishing a lively online dialogue with content providers, users (citizens accessing

the portal) and re-users (creative industries) of the infrastructure.

CREATIVE EUROPE - DG EAC

• "CREATIVE EUROPE " - support programme for Europe's cultural and creative sectors

Help the cultural and creative sectors to seize the opportunities of the ‘digital age’ and globalisation.

Enable the sectors to reach their potential so that they can contribute to the Europe 2020 goals for sustainable growth, jobs and social cohesion.

Open up new international opportunities, markets and audiences Builds on the success of the MEDIA and Culture programmes.

More funding for transnational cultural activities within and outside of the EU

Support schemes tailored to the specific needs of the audiovisual and the cultural sectors in the EU.

CREATIVE EUROPE - DG EAC• Opportunities:

300 000 artists and cultural professionals and their work receive funding to reach new audiences beyond their home countries.

More than 1 000 European films would receive distribution support, enabling them to be seen by audiences throughout Europe and beyond, on traditional and digital platforms.

Thousands of cultural organisations and professionals from Europe would benefit from training to gain new skills and to strengthen their capacity to operate internationally.

2 500 European cinemas would receive support enabling them to ensure that at least 50% of the films they show are European.

More than 5 500 books and other literary works will receive support for translation, which will allow readers to enjoy them in their mother tongue.
