Ageing Well- The Challenge

The Challenge: The number of people over 65 years old in Europe will grow by 45% between 2008 and 2030 and it will rise to over 30% of the population by 2060. H i g h e r d e m a n d f o r h e a l t h c a r e ; a d a p t h e a l t h s y s t e m s t o t h e n e e d s o f a n a g e i n g p o p u l a t i o n w h i l e k e e p i n g t h e m s u s t a i n a b l e i n s o c i e t i e s w i t h s m a l l e r w o r k f o r c e The Solution: ICTs can make life easier and better for seniors and support social and healthcare public systems The Opportunity: this brings new business opportunities and huge savings in the cost of social and health care. For example, telecare solutions can cut the costs of care services by up to 30%.

taking into account that many elderly people have impairments in vision, hearing, mobility, etc.

Telecare and telemedicine with new opportunities for providing medical care at home

Personal health systems include wearable and portable systems for monitoring and diagnosis, fall prevention, therapy, among others;

Support for people with cognitive problems and their carers to stay at home for longer and remain active for as long as possible.

Barriers to deployment (eHealth incl. Ageing Well)

• lack of awareness of, and confidence in eHealth solutions among patients,

citizens and healthcare professionals;

• lack of interoperability between eHealth solutions;

• limited large-scale evidence of the cost-effectiveness of eHealth tools and

services;

• lack of legal clarity for health and wellbeing mobile applications and the lack

of transparency regarding the utilisation of data collected by such applications;

• inadequate or fragmented legal frameworks including the lack of

reimbursement schemes for eHealth services;

• high start-up costs involved in setting up eHealth systems;

• regional differences in accessing ICT services, limited access in deprived areas

Horizon 2020

AgeingWell 2013

Horizon 2020 •The new 80 billion euro research and innovation funding programme (2014-2020)

•A single programme bringing together three separate programmes/ initiatives *

•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

* The 7th Research Framework Programme (FP7), innovation aspects of Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP), EU contribution to the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT)

Three priorities:

1. Excellent science

2. Industrial leadership

3. Societal challenges

Simplification: Rules for Participation

1. 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 Programmes

2. One project – one funding rate Maximum of 100% of the total eligible costs (except for actions close to market, where a 70% maximum will apply)

Indirect eligible costs: a flat rate of 20% of direct eligible costs

3. Simple evaluation criteria Excellence – Impact – Implementation (Excellence only, for the ERC)

4. New forms of funding aimed at innovation: pre-commercial

procurement, inducement prizes, dedicated loan and equity instruments

5. International participation: facilitated but better protecting EU interests

AgeingWell 2013

Simplification: Rules for Participation

6. 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

Balance between legal security and flexibility

Tailor-made IPR provisions for new forms of funding

A new emphasis on open access to research publications

AgeingWell 2013

ICT in Horizon 2020

•The overall aim of EU research and innovation in information and

communication (ICTs) under Horizon 2020 is to bring the benefits

of progress in these technologies to European citizens and

businesses.

•ICT is essential to address Europe's societal challenges. It brings

unique responses e.g. to the growing needs for sustainable

healthcare and ageing well, for better security and privacy, for a

lower carbon economy and for intelligent transport.

ICT in Horizon 2020- Budgetary issues Unofficial proposal, 16 billion euros for ICT budget •4 billion euros for Scientific Excellence (mostly FET actions). •8 billion euros for Industrial Leadership; some to Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) •4 billion euros for Societal Challenges nominally for ICT activities …in the Societal Challenges it may be difficult to isolate this nominal 4 billion euros for ICT, as the themes for Societal Challenges are sector based … •Health, demographic change and well-being; •Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research, and the bio-economy; •Secure, clean and efficient energy; •Smart, green and integrated transport; •Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials; •Inclusive, innovative and secure societies.

Roadmap Horizon 2020

•Ongoing: Parliament and Council negotiations on Commission

proposals and budget for Horizon 2020

•2012- 2013: Final calls under 7th Framework Programme for

Research to bridge gap towards Horizon 2020

•By end 2013: Adoption of legislative acts by Parliament and

Council on Horizon 2020
