Horizon 2020: Key elements A single programme with three pillars: societal challenges, industrial competitiveness and excellence in science More emphasis on innovation More involvement of industry via the industrial deployment of key enabling technologies, and through PPPs - institutional and contractual Simplified access for all stakeholders
Horizon 2020 is different A strong challenge-based approach, allowing applicants to have considerable freedom to come up with innovative solutions Emphasis on innovation, with continuing support for R&D (research and innovation actions with 100% funding; innovation actions with 70% funding) Less prescriptive topics, strong emphasis on expected impact A strategic approach, with two-year work programmes Focus areas bring together different technologies, along entire innovation chain Cross-cutting issues mainstreamed (e.g. social sciences, gender, international cooperation) 3
Why Public-Private Partnerships in Horizon 2020? To solve problems together with industry To strengthen European industrial leadership To facilitate prioritisation of R&I in line with the Europe 2020 objectives and industry needs To leverage research and innovation elements To strongly commit industry to joint objectives
Experience until now: PPPs in FP7 Joint Technology Initiatives Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) Clean Sky Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) Fuel Cells and Hydrogen (FCH) Embedded Computing Systems (ARTEMIS) Nanoelectronics (ENIAC) "Contractual" PPPs Factory of the Future (FoF) Energy-efficient Buildings (EeB) Green Cars (GC) Future internet (FI-PPP)
Outcome of "contractual" PPPs in FP7 Quick response in defining the strategy via Roadmaps Efficient calls with better success rates and time-to-grant 366 projects supported, with 4409 participations Increased participation of industry (57%) and SMEs (25%) More innovation related activities, including demonstration The full EC contribution of 1.6 billion has been provided, resulting in a combined investment of 2.4 billion
Two types of PPPs in Horizon 2020 Contractual PPPs: budget is only committed on an annual basis through H2020 calls in WPs, prepared on the basis of an industry-developed multi-annual roadmap and a contractual arrangement which specifies an indicative 7 years EU funding, and the commitments of industry to match this and to additional investments outside the PPP calls with high leverage factors, but not legally binding. Joint Technology Initiatives: like the contractual PPPs, but with ring fenced 7 year budget, the JU launching the calls (where derogations to H2020 are possible) and with the additional commitments of industry outside the calls inserted in the legislation. 7
Criteria in Article 19 Public-private partnerships shall be identified in an open and transparent way based on all of the following criteria: a) the added value of action at Union level; b) the scale of impact on industrial competitiveness, job creation, sustainable growth and socio-economic issues, including societal challenges; c) the long-term commitment from all partners based on a shared vision and clearly defined objectives; d) the scale of the resources involved and the ability to leverage additional investments in research and innovation; e) a clear definition of roles for each of the partners and agreed key performance indicators over the period chosen.
Establishment of the contractual PPPs Based on ETPs and taking into account policy documents the Commission identified possible areas for a contractual PPP Stakeholders were invited to prepare a PPP proposal The private sector organised stakeholder consultations, in an open and transparent way, covering the whole value chain The private sector delivered the proposal to the Commission The Commission checked compliance with H2020 criteria for the PPPs (art. 19) with the help of high-level external experts Commission decision to launch the contractual PPP Signing of the Contractual arrangement

Horizon 2020 Rules Types of action RIA: Research and innovation actions IA: actions CSA: Coordination and support actions Minimum participation conditions At least three legal entities each established in a different Member State or an Associated Country for collaborative actions (and minimum one entity for CSAs) Evaluation criteria Excellence Impact Quality and efficiency of the action (similar with FP7) Thresholds are depending on the call conditions Time to Grant shortened Maximum 8 months (5 to evaluation results and 3 to Grant Agreement) Grant preparation rather than negotiation (proposals are evaluated "as is" and not "what could be")
Simplified funding rates FP7 Horizon 2020 Maximum reimbursemen t rates Research and technological development activities (*) Demonstration activities Other activities One project = One rate For all beneficiaries and all activities in the grant. Network of excellence 50% 75% (**) 100% Defined in the Work Programme: Up to 100 % of the eligible costs; Collaborative project(****) 50% 75% (**) 50% 100% but limited to a maximum of 70 % for innovation actions (non-profit organisations to a maximum of 100%). Coordination and support action 100% (***) Single indirect cost model 25% flat rate for all
The WP approach of Horizon 2020 A strong challenge-based approach, allowing applicants to have considerable freedom to come up with innovative solutions Simplified list of possible types of action (e.g. research and innovation at 100%; innovation actions at 70%, ) Strong emphasis on expected impact, less prescription Cross-cutting issues mainstreamed (e.g. social sciences, gender, international co-operation ) Work programmes with 2-year duration 14
The LEIT part of the WP uses Technology Readiness Levels (or TRL) from 3-4 up to 7-8 Synergies with other EU, national or regional programmes are encouraged: Some topics are particularly suitable for additional funding e.g. to explore paths to commercial exploitation or to deploy H2020-funded technologies 15
Work Programme topics Structure reflects the challenge-based approach: 3 key features Specific Challenge - sets context, problem to be addressed, why intervention is needed Scope - delineates the problem, specifies the focus and the boundaries of the potential action BUT without overly describing specific approaches Expected Impact - describes the key elements of what is expected to be achieved in relation to the specific challenge 16
