What is Horizon 2020?
• Framework funding programme for all EU research & innovation-related activities (2014-2020)
• The total budget in constant prices €70,2 billion
• A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union & European Research Area:
− Responding to the economic crisis to invest in future jobs and growth
− Addressing people’s concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment
− Strengthening EU’s position in research, innovation and technology
Three priorities
Excellent Excellent sciencescience
Industrial Industrial leadershipleadership
Societal Societal challengeschallenges
European Research Council (ERC)Frontier research by the best individual teams 13 095
Future and Emerging TechnologiesCollaborative research to open new fields of innovation
2 696
Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA)Opportunities for training and career development 6 162
Research infrastructures (including e-infrastructure)
Ensuring access to world-class facilities 2 488
Priority 1. Excellent science

Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies (LEITs)(ICT, nanotechnologies, materials, biotechnology, manufacturing, space)
13 557
Access to risk financeLeveraging private finance and venture capital for research and innovation
2 842
Innovation in SMEsFostering all forms of innovation in all types of SMEs

Spreading excellence and widening participation 816
Simplification: summary
Single set of simpler and more coherent participation rules
New balance between trust and control
Moving from several funding rates for different beneficiaries and activities to just two
Replacing the four methods to calculate overhead or «indirect costs» with a single flat rate
Major simplification under the forthcoming financial regulation
Successful applicants to get working more quickly: reduction of average time to grant by 100 days (current average of around 350 days under FP7)
International Cooperation in Horizon 2020
•International cooperation is crucial to address many Horizon 2020 objectives
•Principle of general openness: the programme will remain to be the most open funding programme in the world
•Need to join forces globally to tackle global challenges
New strategy for international cooperation in research and innovation
Need to engage more actively and strategically in international cooperation:
Three main objectives:- Strengthen the Union's excellence and attractiveness in research and innovation - Tackle global societal challenges- Support the Union's external policies
Combining openness with better targeted actions
Strengthened partnership with Member States
Stronger contribution of research and innovation to external policies of the Union
Dual approach
Openness: Horizon 2020 open to participation from across the worldRevision to the list of countries which receive automatic funding
Targeted actions:1.Thematic: identifying areas for international cooperation on the basis of the Union's policy agenda2.Differentiation by countries/regions to target partners for cooperation
multi-annual roadmaps for cooperation with key partners
Multi-annual roadmaps for cooperation with countries/regions
Enlargement and neighbourhood countries, and EFTAFocus on alignment with the ERASupport enlargement and neighbourhood policies (support to developing a common 'Knowledge and Innovation Space')Industrialised countries and emerging economiesFocus on competitivenessTackle global challengesBusiness opportunities and access to new marketsDeveloping countriesSupport development policy by building partnerships contributing to sustainable developmentAddress relevant challenges (e.g. poverty-related diseases, energy and food security, biodiversity)
Cooperation status in terms of policy in the Mediterranean region
A new response to a changing Neighbourhood
Development of Common Knowledge and Innovation Space (CKIS) New approach to cooperation: mutual benefit, mutual accountability and differentiation
New impetus given by the Euro-Mediterranean Conference for Research and Innovation held in Barcelona (2-3/04/2012)
Thematic areas addressed: water, energy, health, transport and marine sciences. Key cross-cutting issues addressed: Innovation, changing society, coordination of programmes, infrastructure, mobility
New strategy on International Cooperation on Research and Innovation
Need to access knowledge produced outside Europe Need to promote Europe as an attractive location and partner for research and innovation Need to join forces globally to tackle global challenges
EU – South Mediterranean R&I cooperation
Specific activities to promote the EU – South Mediterranean cooperation
Support to bilateral activities (Bilats)
Support to regional platforms INCO-Nets (MIRA/MedSPRING)
Building competence in research labs (ERA-WIDEs)
ERANET MED
Bridging the gap between research and innovation (R2I)
EU – South Mediterranean R&I cooperation
Bilateral policy dialogues
5 S&T agreements: Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia
2 association agreements in FP7: Israel, Turkey
Bi-regional policy dialogue
The Monitoring Committee for Euro-Mediterranean Cooperation in RTD (MoCo) -17 meetings since 1995
EU – South Mediterranean R&I cooperation in FP7 (2007-2013)
296 FP7 funded projects
● Success rate – 13%
● 704 million EUR EU contribution to the projects
● 62 million EUR EU contribution to the South Mediterranean partners
● 586 participations of public and private South Mediterranean institutions
● Main thematic areas of cooperation –KBBE, Environment, ICT.
Synergy with the European Neighbourhood Partnership Instrument (ENPI)
The ENPI supports research capacity building through the implementation of Research Development and Innovation Programme (RDI):
Algeria (21 M€), Egypt (11 M€ + 20 M€),
Jordan (5+5 M€), Morocco (1.35 M€), Tunisia (12 M€)
Participation in Horizon 2020 as Third Country• As a general rule, the legal entities and individuals established in
the ENP countries may participate in all parts of the programme (exception: access to risk finance)
• The minimum rules of participation should be observed
- For standard collaborative actions: At least three legal entities each established in a different Member State or an Associated Country
- For ERC, SME instrument, programme co-fund, coordination and support, training and mobility actions: One legal entity established in a Member State or in an Associated Country
Additional conditions can be set out in the work programme or work plan, e.g. number of participants, type of participants etc.
Participation in Horizon 2020 as Associated Country
• ENP countries already associated to FP7 are eligible for association without pre-conditions (Art. 7.1.c)
• ENP countries, not previously associated, have to fulfill four criteria (Art. 7.1.b)
- Close economic and geographical links with the Union
- Good capacity in science, technology and innovation
- Good track record of previous FP participation
- Fair and equitable treatment of IPR
