• 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

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

Why Horizon 2020?

• Horizon 2020 – Framework for Research & InnovaPon 2014 –

2020 (8th 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

How to parPcipate in Horizon 2020

ü In standard (collaboraPve) research projects

• most of H2020 funding is allocated to collaboraPve research

projects carried out by consorPa of organisaPons working together

• n specific research areas

ü As an individual researcher:

• European Research Council (ERC) and Marie Skłodowska-Curie

acPons (MSCA) ü As an individual Small or Medium-sized Enterprise (or as a group of SMEs)

• SME Instrument

arPcip cipate? e? (General minimum requirements for standard / collaboraPve research projects) ü at least three legal enPPes shall parPcipate in an acPon; ü three legal enPPes shall each be established in a different Member State or associated country; ü the three legal enPPes shall be independent of each other

@APRE2018

Who’s eligible for funding?

• Any legal enPty established in a Member State or associated country, or

created under Union law;

• Any internaPonal European interest organisaPon;
• Any legal enPty established in a third country idenPfied in the work

programme (Annex A)

InternaPonal CooperaPon! If a legal enPty established in a third country not eligible for funding (advanced countries and emerging economies), funding from the Union may be granted provided that at least one of the following condiPons is fulfilled: a) there’s a bilateral scienPfic and technological agreement between the EU and the country; b) the country is explicitly idenPfied in the relevant work programme and call for proposal; c) the parPcipaPon is deemed essenPal for carrying out the acPon

How to apply for funding

The project has to be presented in response to a call for proposal

How calls for proposal work

• InformaPon on calls and on parPcipaPon procedures can be found in the

biannual Work Programmes and on the ParPcipant Portal (now, SEDIA): h~ps://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportuniPes/portal/screen/ programmes/h2020

• Each call includes a certain number of topics, to be addressed when

submi1ng a project proposal

• Calls are either annual or biannual, depending on the topic
• The proposal can either be presented on a single stage or on a two-stage

process

Horizon 2020: good-to-know rules

ü Three main types of acPons (projects): Research and InnovaPon acPons (RIA), InnovaPon acPons (IA), CoordinaPon and Support acPons (CSA) ü Simplified financial rules to prior Framework Programmes:

• Basic co-funding rates: 100%

% (RIA, CSA), 70% % (IA)

• Indirect costs: Flat rate of 25% of total direct costs

ü Three evaluaPon criteria: Excellence, Impact, ImplementaPon ü Time to Grant: Max. 8 months

@APRE2018

From the idea to the project

Find the relevant call / topic Build the consorPum / Find partners Prepare and submit the proposal Be evaluated and selected!

Start the project

@APRE2018

Keep in mind: «European money for European targets!»

• Know the important EU-Topics, “think between the lines“
• Clarify the European added value
• Make reference to European targets
• Emphasise issues/aspects, which are relevant for the EU and that could
• ccur in the proposal
• Show that you have understood the context of the call you are applying
