FP7 Project Partners by Type Main partnerships are with UK or European based Higher Education Institutes. In health area significant involvement of local hospital trusts particularly Central and South Manchester. European Based Research Institutes Max Plank in Germany, Centre for National Scientific Research in France. Charities/Stakeholders Cancer Research, Food Standards, Asthma UK. Local Council involvement limited to Manchester, Oldham and Nottingham.
Horizon 2020 Overview Global Level In the first nine months (up to September 2014) more than 30,000 proposals were submitted. 2.1 million visits were registered on the web-based Participants Portal in December 2013 alone with a steady increase since. Nearly 5,300 expert evaluators contracted. Expected success rate lower than FP7 of around 14%. The oversubscription rate was eight times the available budget (compared to on average 5.5 times under FP7). For the European Research Council (ERC) calls there has been a flattening off in proposal numbers, suggesting that the extended demand management measures (restriction of resubmission) have been effective. The impact on oversubscription will be further analysed to show whether certain aspects of the challenge-based approach should be adapted, for example by further clarifying impact statements of call topics.
Horizon 2020 Overview Global Level Feedback - Evaluation Summary Reports (ESR) have varied in terms of the detail and level of feedback provided to applicants. Recommendations for 2016-17 involve the development of a set of minimum standards on ESR feedback. Strong participation from industry, including SMEs. SME participation in the Industrial Leadership pillar and the Societal Challenges is estimated to be 24% in terms of applicants and 21% in terms of requested EU funding. In FP7 grant agreements 22% of participants were SMEs receiving overall 19% of EU funding. The new SME Instrument has attracted many small companies new to FP funding (around 70%). The majority of proposals to the SME instrument did not meet the expected standard (88% of proposals were below the threshold of 13 points overall).
