PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

• Key novelties in Horizon 2020

• A single program bringing together three separate programs / initiatives :• The Research Framework Program• Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Program• EU contribution to the European Institute of Innovation and

Technology (EIT)• 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.

PARTICIPATION

ELIGIBILE COUNTRIES• Horizon 2020 will be to the EU countries, to acceding countries, candidate countries

and potential candidates, in accordance with the general principles and general terms and conditions for the participation of those countries in Union programmes established in the respective framework agreements and decisions of association councils or similar agreements;

TARGET GROUPS• Excellent Science -Independent researchers of any age, including starting

researchers making the transition to being independent research leaders in their own right, from any country in the world will be supported.

• Industrial Leadership -horizontally SMEs are the main target group Under "Industrial Leadership" component

• Access to Risk Finance is targeting SMEs and the component "Innovation in SMEs" is dedicated to SMEs. COSME and Horizon 2020 will be complementing each other . R&D performing SMEs will be supported under a specific scheme in "Innovation in SMEs"

PARTICIPATION1. A SINGLE SET OF RULES• Adapted for the whole research and innovation cycle• Covering all research programmes and funding bodies • Aligned to the Financial Regulation, coherent with other new EU Programmes2. ONE PROJECT - ONE FUNDING RATE. • Maximum of 100% of direct costs (except for actions close to market, where a

70% maximum will apply)• Indirect eligible costs: a flat rate of 20% of direct eligible costs3. SIMPLE EVALUATION CRITERIA • Excellence – Impact - Implementation (Excellence only, for the European

Research Council - ERC)4. NEW FORMS OF FUNDING • Aimed at innovation: pre-commercial procurement, inducement prizes, dedicated

loan and equity instruments.

PARTICIPATION5. INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPATION• Facilitated for international partners – broad access to Horizon 2020

(“mainstreaming”), strategic initiatives where there is mutual benefit6. SIMPLER RULES FOR GRANTS• Broader acceptance of participants accounting practices for direct costs, flat

rate for indirect costs, no time-sheets for personnel working full time on a project, possibility of output-based grants.

7. FEWER, BETTER TARGETED CONTROLS AND AUDITS• Lowest possible level of requirements for submission of audit certificates

without undermining sound financial management;• Audit strategy focused on risk and fraud prevention.8. IMPROVED RULES ON INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY• Tailor-made Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) provisions for new forms of

funding;• A new emphasis on open access to research publications

PARTICIPATION

APPLICATION PROCEDURE• Through call for proposals• The whole set of practical arrangements for proposal and project implementation

is streamlined. This includes the detailed provisions on the content and shape of proposals, the processes for turning proposals into projects, the requirements for reporting and monitoring, as well as the related guidance documents and support services. A major contribution to reduced administrative costs for participation will come from a single user-friendly IT platform for all interactions with participants, based on the FP7 Participant Portal.

• Centrally structures- DGs, European Research Council (ERC), Research Executive Agency (REA), European Investment Bank (EIB), European Investment Fund (EIF)

• Evaluation criteria: Excellence, Implementation , Impact
