3 CompeCCveness & InnovaCon Programme 2007 to overall budget 3.6 B Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (EIP) Information and Communication Technologies Policy Support Programme (ICT-PSP) Intelligent Energy Europe Programme (IEE) Co-operation Doing something you want to do Access to missing skills Achieving new things Obtaining a different viewpoint Sharing development costs Building broader networks Learning about others To underpin a product that you can sell And getting some money to help you do it 3

4 Collaboration At least 3 Independent Partners from 3 different countries NB For some support measures a single participant is sufficient Not Limited to European States Collaboration 4

5 Collaboration Why do it? Extends field of Impact & Influence Expands context for R&D activity better overall knowledge Benefit from others efforts in same direction -> Leverage Raises profile Staff retention more interesting and varied work context Fosters links into other parts of supply chain at technical level Business development opportunities Helen Finch: Infineon Technologies UK. Ltd Results (FP7 ICT Call 1) Failure: Ineligible Low Quality Low Budget Success: Retained for negotiation Below Thresholds 1012 Retained 317 Eligible For Low Funding Budget 884 5

Some Numbers: Total Budget 52 B ICT Budget 9.2 B 1900 UK Participations Grant ~ 750 M Duration 7 Years

7 The future As in a glass darkly What is new? A single programme (FP7 + CIP + EIT) Strong focus on societal challenges (game changing for ICT ) More innova.on Reaching out to non- tradiconal actors More risk taking Strengthened support for high- tech SMEs More open, light & fast schemes Budget 79 B (at current prices) Growth, Jobs & Competitiveness Better articulation of research and innovation Seamless funding from idea to market 7

8 Innovation AcCviCes directly aiming at producing plans and arrangements for new, altered or improved products, processes or services May include: Protyping, TesCng, DemonstraCng, PiloCng, Large- scale product validacon and Market replicacon Research & Innovation AcCviCes aiming to establish new knowledge and/or to explore the feasibility of a new or improved technology, product, process, service or solucon. May include: basic and applied research, technology development and integracon, tescng and validacon on a small- scale prototype in a laboratory or simulated environment 8

Industrial Excellent Societal Challenges leadership Science Generation of H2020 Commission Council European Parliament Horizon 2020 Legislation Commission Communication The proposal The three documents Member State oversight On 25 June 2013, political Stakeholder agreement Groups was reached Programme Committees Establishing Regulation Rules for the participation and dissemination Specific programme Advisory Groups & Multi-annual Work Programmes (with indicative budget) Independent expert input

10 Main elements of H2020 compromise A simple funding model: 100% Direct Costs + 25%... Faster Cme to grant, Less audits Time- to- grant of 8 months ("5 + 3 months ) DedicaCon of budgets to key topics SME Research & InnovaCon, Energy and FET Fast Track to InnovaCon Pilot: A Fast Track to InnovaCon pilot is to be launched in 2015 : Deroga.ons from the Rules of Par.cipa.on for JTIs Revenues and repayments of the financial instruments 19 What sort of projects?

13 The Basics Describing the general case of European Commission ICT funding for collaboracve research A slideset intended for newcomers acknowledged by its originator: the UK ICT Na.onal Contact Point to be Probably the worst Powerpoint in the world UK ICT NCP: peter.walters@tsb.gov.uk THE NEXT 4 SLIDES WILL TELL YOU A FEW ESSENTIALS ABOUT RESEARCH & INNOVATION COLLABORATORS BENEFITS MAKING A PROPOSAL SUBMISSION SUCCESS NEGOTIATION CONSORTIUM AGREEMENT PROJECT START REPORTING PROGRESS RETENTION SUPPORT DOCUMENTATION IN EUROPEAN FUNDED COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH 13

14 RESEARCH & INNOVATION The European Commission supports collaboracve Research and InnovaCon projects by means of grants. COLLABORATORS The collaborators form a consorcum which mostly must include three independent partners from different EU member or associated states. BENEFITS Important benefits to project parccipants include the development of knowledge underpinning new products and services, shared expercse, widened capabilices, enlarged networks an expanded world view,. MAKING A PROPOSAL ParCcipaCon follows successful submission of a wrioen proposal in response to a call for proposals referring to a Workprogramme document which defines the technology areas to be addressed. SUBMISSION Proposals are submioed electronically using the parccipant portal before a fixed date and Cme by the coordinacng partner, to whom evaluacon results are communicated 5 months later.. SUCCESS Not all proposals are successful, compeccon is strong, Submission rules are published in the specific Guide for Proposers which details the submission process and sets rules which are rigorously applied. NEGOTIATION A negocacon process follows for successful proposing consorca, this necessitates validacon of the idencty and financial status of the proposers, and the formal descripcon of the work to be undertaken, this may take several months to complete. 14

15 CONSORTIUM AGREEMENT The consorcum partners undertake a ConsorCum Agreement which defines the way the consorcum will operate PROJECT START Commencement of the project follows. Within 30 days of which a substancal pre- financing payment is made by The Commission REPORTING The coordinacng partner interfaces with The Commission through a specific Project Officer. Progress reports and financial informacon and seolement of interrim cost claims are exchanged on a regular basis, with updates to the financing as necessary. PROGRESS Periodic project reviews involving independent experts are arranged by the Project officer. Reviews can, in a minority of cases terminate projects which fail to perform, with recovery of unspent/misspent finance. RETENTION Some 90% of the grant is payable before the project ends. The remainder or retencon awaits complecon of all documents. SUPPORT Newcomers are encouraged to discuss their interest with their NaConal Contact Point mailto:peter.walters@tsb.gov.uk who will be able to provide guidance and advice on further steps DOCUMENTATION DocumentaCon for parccular calls for proposals can be downloaded from The ParCcipant Portal: hop://ec.europa.eu/ research/parccipants/portal/page/cooperacon - ict. 15
