Projects typesResearch and Innovation Actions

Activities aimed to obtain new knowledge and/or improved technology, product, process or decision. May include basic and applied research, development and technology integration, testing and validation.

Duration: 3-5 years

Main participation criteria: at least three independent legal entities from countries of EU or associated with HORIZON 2020. Participants from any other countries (including Russia) can join actions as an additional consortium partner.

The most common type of projects.

Projects typesInnovation Actions

Activities aimed at creating schemes, planning or designing a new, modified or improved product, process or service. It may include the creation of a prototype or demonstration model, tests, pilot implementation, a large-scale validation of the product and production for commercial purposes.

Duration: 2-3 years

Main participation criteria: at least three independent legal entities from countries of EU or associated with HORIZON 2020. Participants from any other countries (including Russia) can join actions as an additional consortium partner.

This type of project is most common in HORIZON 2020 “Industrial Leadership” section.

Projects typesCoordination and Support Actions

Standardization, dissemination, awareness-raising and communication, networking, service coordination and support, as well as other activities on strategic planning, creation of communities and coordination of programmes in different countries.

Duration: 1-2 years

Main participation criteria: at least one independent legal entity from countries of EU or associated with HORIZON 2020. Participants from any other countries (including Russia) can join actions as an additional consortium partner.

These types of projects are most common in “Industrial Leadership” and “Societal Challenges” sections.

Projects typesSME Instrument

An instrument for support of small and medium-sized enterprises. Staged financing for full innovation cycle, as well as additional services such as training and support.

Duration: 1st phase 6 months, 2nd phase 1-2 years

Main participation criteria: at least One commercial small or medium-sized company, registered in the EU or in a country, associated with HORIZON 2020.

Presently the number of such projects is limited.

Projects typesERA-NET Instrument (ERA-NET Co-fund)

A co-financing programme inside HORIZON 2020 aimed to support partnerships of government organizations, including joint initiatives between the EU countries. Additional funding from the EU may be held for international calls. Initiative is being implemented with the help of “programmes co-financing measure.“ It can be used at any stage of the programme of cooperation.

Basic and mandatory component of ERA-NET instruments is a joint tender, which is co-financed by all participating organizations for international research and / or innovation projects.

Research and innovation funding organizations from any country (including Russia) can participate in consortium under this co-financing ERA-NET programmes.
