The Multiannual Financial Framework 2014-2020: European Council conclusions, 8 February 2013 Key challenge: stabilise the financial and economic system while taking measures to create economic opportunities 1. Smart & inclusive growth ( 451 billion) Education, Youth, Sport Connecting Europe Cohesion Competitive Business SMEs HORIZON 2020 2. Sustainable growth, natural resources ( 373 billion) 3. Security and citizenship ( 16 billion) 4. Global Europe ( 58 billion) 5. Administration ( 61.6 billion) TOTAL 960 billion
What is H2020 and how is it new? 70.2 billion R&I funding programme A single programme: brings together 3 separate programmes/initiatives* Coupling research innovation: from research to retail, all forms of innovation Focus on societal challenges: faced by EU society (e.g. health, clean energy) Simplified access: for all companies, universities, institutes in the EU & beyond The 7 th Research Framework Programme (FP7), innovation aspects of Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP), EU contribution to the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT)
Major Simplification for the benefit of applicants 1. A single set of rules for all funding under Horizon 2020 Fewer, more flexible, funding instruments 2. Simpler reimbursement: 1 project = 1 funding rate 100% of the total eligible costs (70% for innovation actions) Non-profit legal entities can also receive 100% in innovation actions Single flat rate for indirect costs (25% of eligible costs) 3. Faster time to grant Within 8 months of call deadline
Major Simplification for the benefit of applicants 4. Fewer, better targeted controls and audits 5. Coherent implementation Through dedicated agencies Single IT system 6. Simplification in grant agreements
Three priorities Excellent science Industrial leadership Societal challenges
