Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking BBI JU Public-private partnership between the European Union and the Biobased Industries Consortium (BIC). Operating under Horizon 2020. The European Union is represented by the European Commission (EC). BIC is a non-profit organisation that was created to represent the group of industries that supports the BBI JU. Complementarities with other parts of Horizon 2020 such as Societal Challenge 2, the biotechnology area of the Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologies (LEIT) are to be encouraged.

Funding Schemes in this Call for Proposals For this call there exist different funding schemes. The work programme gives an indication of the expected size of the proposal. Name of funding scheme/type of action Research and innovation action (RIA) 100% reimbursement Innovation action (IA) (70% reimbursement, 100% reimbursement for non-profit organizations) SME instrument (70% reimbursement) Definition Action primarily consisting of activities aiming to establish new knowledge and/or to explore the feasibility of a new or improved technology, product, process, service or solution. For this purpose they may include basic and applied research, technology development and integration, testing and validation on a small-scale prototype in a laboratory or simulated environment. Projects may contain closely connected but limited demonstration or pilot activities aiming to show technical feasibility in a near to operational environment. Innovation actions are collaborative research projects primarily consisting of activities directly aiming at producing plans and arrangements or designs for new, altered or improved products, processes or services. For this purpose they may include prototyping, testing, demonstrating, piloting, large-scale product validation and market replication. The SME instrument is targeted at all types of innovative SMEs showing a strong ambition to develop, grow and internatio-nalise. It provides staged support covering the whole innovation cycle in three phases complemented by a mentoring and coaching service. Transition from one phase to the next will be seamless provided the SME project proves to be worth further support in a further evaluation. Each phase is open to new entrants. No obligation for applicants to sequentially cover all three phases; each phase open to all SMEs Explanation Condition for participation: the three shall be established in a different Condition for participation: the three shall be established in a different One for-profit SME. Only applications from SMEs established in EU Member States or countries associated to Horizon 2020. No concurrent submission or implementation with another phase 1 or phase 2 project Funding rule: 3 phases: Phase 1: lump sum of 50 k per project Phase 2: 0,5 to 2,5 M per project; Phase 3 : no funding Exclusive property of Euresearch.

Pre-commercial procurement (PCP) (70% reimbursement) Public procurement of innovative solutions (PPI) (35% reimbursement) PCP cofund actions aim to encourage public procurement of research, development and validation of new solutions that can bring significant quality and efficiency improvements in areas of public interest, whilst opening market opportunities for industry and researchers active in Europe. A PCP cofund action provides Union cofunding for a group of procurers ( buyers group ) to undertake together one joint PCP procurement, so that there is one joint call for tender, one joint evaluation of offers, and a lead procurer awarding the R&D service contracts in the name and on behalf of the buyers group. The objective of PPI cofund actions is to enable groups of procurers to share the risks of acting as early adopters of innovative solutions, whilst opening market opportunities for industry. A PPI Cofund action provides Union cofunding for a group of procurers ( buyers group ) to undertake together one joint PPI procurement, so that there is one joint PPI call for tender launched by the lead procurer and one joint evaluation of offers. the three shall be established in a different Furthermore, there must be a minimum of two independent legal entities which are public procurers from two different Member States or associated countries. the three shall be established in a different Furthermore, there must be a minimum of two independent legal entities which are public procurers from two different Member States or associated countries. Coordination and support action (CSA) Actions consisting primarily of accompanying measures such as standardisation, dissemination, awareness-raising and communication, networking, coordination or support of services, policy dialogues, programmes and mutual learning exercises and studies, including design studies for new infrastructure and may also include complementary activities of strategic planning, networking and coordination between programmes in different countries.

ERA-NET Co-fund ERA-NET Cofund under Horizon 2020 is designed to support public-public partnerships, including joint programming initiatives between Member States, in their preparation, establishment of networking structures, design, implementa-tion and coordination of joint activities as well as Union topping-up of a transnational call for proposals. It allows for programme collaboration in any part of the entire research-innovation cycle. The main and compulsory activity of the ERA-NET Cofund under Horizon 2020 is the implementation of the cofunded joint call for proposals that leads to the funding of trans-national research and/or innovation projects. The call is normally based on a call for proposals. Resulting in grants to third parties. In addition to the cofunded call the consortia may implement other joint activities including other joint calls without Union co-funding. Prizes Horizon Prizes are 'challenge' prizes (also known as inducement prizes) offering a cash reward to whoever can most effectively meet a defined challenge. The aim is to stimulate innovation and come up with solutions to problems that matter to European citizens. This is how the Horizon Prizes work: first a technological or societal challenge, for which no solution has been found, is defined; the three shall be established in a different Participants in ERA-NET Cofund actions must be research funders: Legal entities owning or managing public research and innovation programmes, e.g. SNSF. The contest is open to all legal entities (including natural persons) or groups of legal entities regardless of their place of establishment. Contestants that have already received an EU or Euratom prize cannot receive a second prize for the same activities. an award is promised for the delivered breakthrough solution; the award criteria give information about what the solution must be capable of proving; the means to reach the solution are not prescribed, leaving contestants total freedom to come up with the most promising and effective solution.
