What's behind Horizon 2020? The European Union and its Research and InnovaPon Policy • 500 million people & 28 countries (sAll!) • 6% of the World's populaAon • 20% of world expenditure on research • 27% of world scienAfic publicaAons • 32% of high-impact publicaAons • 32% of patent applicaAons • Some of the best universiAes in the world • Some of the most innovaAve companies in the world @APRE2018 4

The Three O‘s Strategy - R&I Commissioner Moedas (2016) Ensure free access • Open Access, Open Data • Open Science European Open Science Cloud • Scien;fic integrity • • Improve framework condi;ons Open Innova-on • Ac;vate private investments • Involve more actors • Common research areas (China, La;n America) • Strategy for the South Atlan;c (La;n America, Africa) Open to the World • Science diplomacy through partnerships / ini;a;ves (PRIMA; SESAME; EDCTP) @APRE2018

Context of EU R&I Funding Why a framework programme for R&I? • High-level research is expensive • Borders across disciplines are more and more blurred: a coordinaPon acPon is needed • A “criPcal mass” must be mobilised in order to support research • Investments by single Member State on R&I are insufficient and unbalanced • To coordinate policies, agendas and research prioriPes means to coordinate research funding programmes • SoluPons and resources must be integrated and opPmised in order to address common challenges • Knowledge diffusion must be promoted and research excellences must collaborate @APRE2018 9

Why Horizon 2020? • Horizon 2020 – Framework for Research & InnovaPon 2014 – 2020 (8 th Framework Programme) • To ensure Europe produces world-class science and technology that drives economic growth • To bring EU investment on R&I up to 3% of total GDP by 2020 (to the levels of US and Japan) • To promote the private investment on R&I • To promote the European Research Area, for free knowledge circulaPon, researchers and technologies @APRE2018 10
