1 Shift2Rail in a wider context The Horizon2020 Transport Program Dr. Nili Mandelblit, Director - Transport, Aero-Space, Materials & Manufacturing ISERD

2 ISERD Israel-Europe R&D Directorate ISERD - an inter-ministerial organization established to promote Israel s R&I cooperation with Europe Steering Committee: Ministry of Economy and Industry The Council for Higher Education Planning and Budgeting Committee Ministry of Science and Technology Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ministry of Finance Chairman of the Steering Committee: The Chief Scientist, Ministry of Economy & Industry The main venue for Israel s R&I cooperation with Europe is the EU Framework Program (FP)

3 The European Framework Program EU's main funding instrument for R&I (since 1984) Goals: Strengthen the scientific & technological base of European Industry Support EU policies and address major Societal Challenges Create a European Research Area (ERA) Covering all major scientific and technological disciplines Funding implemented via Calls for Proposals (mostly collaborative actions: consortia with at least 3 partners from 3 different countries) Any legal entity can participate: Industry, Academia, Public authorities, NGOs

4 Funding Members of H2020

5 Since 1996 (mid FP4) Israel is an Associated Country (AC) = Full participation in the Framework R&I Programs

6 Progression of FP budgets over time

7 Israeli results in H2020 so far (Feb 2017) Success by sector: Value of Israeli grants: 405,1 M Submitted Participations 4695 Successful Participations 682 Industry 268 Universities 332 Others 82 Submitted Proposals 3466 Successful Proposals 481 Success rate 14,5% Industry M Universities 248 M Others 16.3 M Overall value of projects with at least one Israeli partner M Overall value of projects with at least one Israeli Industrial partner 882,5 M [Israel s contribution to H2020 till that date : 396M ]

9 The H2020 Transport program Structured around 4 broad lines of activities to support: 1. Resource efficient transport system Minimise impact on climate and the environment (incl. noise and air pollution) 2. Better mobility, less congestion, more safety and security Innovative solutions (ICT capabilities) for seamless, inclusive, affordable, safe, secure and robust transport systems 3. Global leadership for the European transport industry including logistics; Retain areas of European leadership (e.g. aeronautics). 4. Socio-economic and behavioural research Equal access to transportation, adoption of new technologies, support policy making

10 H2020 Transport WP Structure The program contains 3 calls for proposals: (To be published in ~Oct 2017; Submission deadlines in January and April 2018) 1. Mobility for Growth (MG) All transport modalities (Road, Waterborne, Aviation); Rail included only in some cross-modal topics Covering all 4 objectives: sustainability, safety & resilience, industry leadership, behavioral & societal research 2. Road Transport Automation (ART) 3. Green Vehicles (GV)

11 Structure of Transport WP Cont. In addition, the transport program budget supports 4 Joint Undertakings (JUs) (for high TRL, long term R&D agenda): 1. Shift2Rail 2. CleanSky 2 (Aviation platforms) 3. SESAR 2020 (Aviation ATM) 4. Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 The JUs publish separate calls for proposals

12 Transport WP General Notes Compared to WPs : 1. Increased importance for market take-up and deployment of innovations 2. Reduced number of topics (compared to WPs ) 3. Strengthened International Cooperation (INCO)

13 International Cooperation in H2020 Transport INCO in H2020 = cooperation with 3 rd party countries (Non MS/AC) Why? The EU Motivation for INCO in H2020 Transport 1. Necessity for global solutions in several identified areas: CO 2 and polluting Emissions (including noise pollution) Oil Dependency Transport Safety Standardisation of services, products and procedures 2. Other areas (more local in nature) benefit from exchange of best practices: Traffic congestion, Land use planning,.behavioural issues 3. Trade of novel technologies to enhance industry competitiveness 4. Access to new markets (today transport growth is mostly outside Europe)

14 INCO in Transport WP Within specific topics, in areas such as: Reduction of transport impact on air quality Transport Safety Road vehicle automation (~ ART topics) Green vehicles / electrification (~GV topics) 2. With specific partner countries: With major international partner countries (USA, Canada, Japan, Australia ) mainly exchange of best practices With countries such as China, India, CELAC mainly on reduction of emissions Twinning with US DOT projects.

15 Other transport relevant programs in H H2020 Space Program European GNSS (Galileo and EGNOS) call New applications making use of GNSS data 2. H2020 NMBP Program - 'Nanotechnologies, advanced materials, biotechnology and advanced manufacturing and processing' 3. H2020 ICT Program - 'Information and Communication Technologies' 4. H2020 Security (HLS) Program 5. H2020 Environment Program - Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials 6. H2020 Energy Program - 'Secure, clean and efficient energy'
