International Participation welcomed

• Possibilities for “start-up” funding for scientists moving to Europe ( 500,000 € Starting and 1mill € for Advanced Grantees

• Grantees may maintain affiliation with home institute outside Europe ( “significant part” of worktime, however, must be in Europe)

• Individual team members can be based outside Europe• Mobility – The grant goes with the Grantee (within Europe)

• In current projects, 17% of team members are from non-EU, non-associated countries (42 countries involved – including Taiwan)

Moving towards the future…

HORIZON 2020– structure: Excellence Science (proposed 15 Billion €)

– Industrial leadership

– Societal challenges

– EIT

– JRC

People Programme

Marie-Curie Actions (Mobility) are also bottom-up and offer opportunity for non-EU/non affiliated country researchers

Funding assigned (in EUR) to ICPCs and high income countries participating to the programmes:Cooperation (10 Themes), Ideas, People and Capacities

H2020 - 3 Priorities: Intelligent, Sustainable and Inclusive Growth

Targets:• 75% of the population aged 20-64 should be employed • 3% of the EU GDP for Research and Development• 20-20-20 climate/energy targets • Better Education• Reducing Poverty

No thematic research programmes – rather interdisciplinary Societal Challenges

In the Beginning….

• (2010/2011) – SSH lost in translation

• There was no SSH-driven Challenge foreseen for the 8th Framework Programme.

• The objective was to exclusively MAINSTREAM SSH into all Societal Challenges and other Programme areas

The State of the Art – as of October 2012

Split of the 6th Challenge (Council Proposal 31. May) into

- EUROPE IN A CHANGING WORLD – INCLUSIVE, INNOVATIVE AND REFLECTIVE SOCIETIES

and introduction of the

- 7th Challenge: Secure Societies – Protecting Freedom and Security of Europe and its citizens

SSH is a horizontal component of Horizon 2020

The 3 Pillars of „Understanding Europe in a changing World“

Inclusive Societies - activities include: promotion of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth; building inclusive societies and environments; Europe as a global player; closing the innovation gap in Europe

Innovative Societies – activities include: strengthening and supporting the evidence base of the Innovation Union and ERA; new forms of innovation – including social innovation and creativity; promote societal participation in research and innovation; promote international cooperation;

The New Pillar – Reflective Societies

Reflective Societies – cultural heritage and European identity - activities include:

Study of European heritage, memory culture, identity (including archives/museums, cultural & scientific collections);

Research into European countries’ and regions’ history, literature, art philosophy and religion and how these have informed contemporary European diversity;

Research on Europe’s role in the world, on mutual influence and ties between the world regions and a view from outside on European cultures.

What‘ s inside

• The 6th Challenge still includes: INCO, SiS, Gender, Regions,

• No security

• Strong linkage to the Joint Programme Intiatives (JPIs)

How can you prepare for Horizon 2020 … (1)

The Specific Programme will establish the foundation for the future Work Programmes of the 6th. Challenge.

Close monitoring of the developments of the Specific Programme (http://ec.europa.eu/research/horizon2020/index_en.cfm?pg=h2020-documents

)

2. Stay in touch…

As the making of HORIZON 2020 progresses, stay in touch with the NCPs in regard to the thematic developments of HORIZON 2020!!!

Everything is still in flux

But…

the seperation and the strengthening of

the 6th Challenge seems to have reached a certain

degree of stability.

What remains uncertain

The BUDGET!!!

NET4SOCIETY Green Paper proposes a budget of at least 5% or 5 billion Euro!!!

(Based on the experiences in FP 7, new areas of research and and the size of the European SSH research community)

International Researcher: Get involved!!!

• Stay informed – monitor the developments on the website - www.net4society@eu

• Register yourself in the Research Directory

• Use the Partner Search tools

• Become an evaluator – Gain valuable insights into the process (SSH, other significant thematic areas and ERC) http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/page/experts

Get moving

• Meet potential partners at the Brokerage events offered by N4S and national NCPs

• Participate in European Reseach focused Conferences, including Projects Conferences (see Website) Challenge Social Innovation Conference, Vienna Active Ageing – the Potential for Research• Follow thematic ERA-NET actives, e.g. HERA (last call – “Cultural

Encounters) and their conferences

NET4SOCIETY: Important Results

• Research Directory to find and to be found

• Partner Search Tool to find partners

• SSH international – cooperation with ICPC

• SSH is visible => increasing the visibility

• Key SSH documents for your information

• Success Stories to learn from the Best

• Networking/Brokerage Events to find partners

NET4SOCIETY - Our VISION

• Growing transnational network

• Quality improvement of SSH NCP services across Europe and beyond

• Strong and vibrant SSH Programme

• Increased awareness of SSH research across borders

• Working to build bridges across disciplines and continents
