11 What's new 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 transport Simplified access, for all companies, universities, institutes in all EU countries beyond The 7 th Research Framework Programme (FP7), innovation aspects of Competitiveness Innovation Framework Programme (CIP), EU contribution to the European Institute of Innovation Technology (EIT)

12 Policy Research Innovation 12

13 Priority 3. Societal challenges 1. Health, demographic change wellbeing 2. Food security, sustainable agriculture forestry, marine maritime inl water research, the bioeconomy 3. Secure, clean efficient energy 4. Smart, green integrated transport 5. Climate action, resource efficiency raw materials 6. Inclusive, innovative reflective societies 7. Secure societies Policy Research Innovation 13

14 Objectives of Societal Challenge 2: Sufficient supplies of safe high quality food bio-based products, productive resource-efficient primary production systems, competitive low carbon supply chains.

29 Recital 24 of REGULATION (EU) No 1291/2013 establishing Horizon 2020 The implementation of Horizon 2020 should respond to the evolving opportunities needs of science technology, industry, policies society. As such, the agendas should be set in close liaison with stakeholders from all sectors concerned, sufficient flexibility should be allowed for new developments. External advice should be sought on a continuous basis for the duration of Horizon 2020, also making use of relevant structures such as European Technology Platforms, Joint Programming Initiatives, the European Innovation Partnerships as well as advice from scientific panels, such as the Scientific Panel for Health.
