HORIZON 2020 The EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation 2014-2020 Presentation to CARDI International Training Programme on Ageing 19 September 2013 Kay Duggan-Walls, Health Research Board National Contact Point for Horizon 2020 Health
Proposal for H2020 Legislative proposal from Commission was announced 30 November 2011 Part of a drive to create new jobs and growth in Europe
What is Horizon 2020? • Commission proposal for a € 80 billion research and innovation funding programme (2014-2020) • A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union & European Research Area: - Responding to the economic crisis to invest in future jobs and growth - Addressing people’s concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment - Strengthening the EU’s global position in research, innovation and technology
Horizon 2020 – What’s New • A single programme bringing together three separate programmes/initiatives* • Coupling research to innovation – from research to retail, all forms of innovation • Focus on societal challenges facing EU society, e.g. health, clean energy and transport • Simplified access , for all companies, universities, institutes in all EU countries and 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)
Three Priorities 1. Excellent Science 2. Industrial leadership 3. Societal challenges
Priority 1. Excellent science € 25bn Why: • World class science is the foundation of tomorrow’s European Research Council € 13,263 Frontier research by the best individual teams technologies, jobs and well- Future and Emerging Technologies € 3,100 being Collaborative research to open new fields of innovation • Marie Curie actions € 5,752 Europe needs to develop, Opportunities for training and career development attract and retain research € 2,478 Research infrastructures including e-infrastructures talent Ensuring access to world class facilities • Researchers need access to the best infrastructures
Priority 2. Industrial leadership € 18bn Why: • Strategic investments in key technologies (e.g. advanced Leadership in enabling and industrial € 13,781 technologies (ICT, nanotechnologies, materials, manufacturing, micro- biotechnology, manufacturing space) electronics) innovation across Access to risk finance € 3,538 existing and emerging sectors. Leverage private finance and venture capital for • Europe needs to attract more research and innovation private investment in research Innovation in SMEs € 619 and innovation Fostering all forms of innovation in all types of SMEs • Europe needs more innovative SMEs to create growth and jobs
Priority 3. Societal challenges € 32bn Why: • Concerns of citizens and society/EU policy objectives Health, demographic change and wellbeing € 8,033 (climate, environment, energy, transport etc.) cannot be achieved Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine € 4,152 without innovation and maritime research & the bio economy • Breakthrough solutions come from Secure, clean and efficient energy € 5,782 multi-disciplinary collaborations, Smart, green and integrated transport € 6,802 including social sciences & € 3,160 Climate action, resource efficiency and raw humanities materials • Promising solutions need to be € 3,819 Inclusive, innovative and secure societies tested, demonstrated and scaled up
Horizon 2020
FP7 Cooperation themes → HORIZON2020 challenges • The Health, Demographic Health ( € 6.1b) 1. Change and Well-being 2. Food, agriculture, fisheries and Challenge ( € 7bn over 7 yrs) biotechnology • The Food Security and Bio- 3. Information and communication based Economy Challenge technologies • The Secure, Clean and 4. Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, Efficient Energy Challenge materials • The Smart, Green and and new production Integrated Transport technologies challenge 5. Energy • The Resource Efficiency and 6. Environment (including climate Climate Challenge change) • The Inclusive, Innovative and 7. Transport (including Secure Societies Challenge aeronautics) 8. Socio-economic sciences and the humanities 9. Security 10. Space
The Health, Demographic Change and Well-being Challenge • Basic research through translation of knowledge, to large trials and demonstration actions • Broader scope than FP7 • More ICT aspects • Public procurement for new products, services, scalable solutions (interoperable and supported by defined standards and/or common guidelines) – haven’t had this before in Health

Proposed Work Programme Cycle 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Strategic Programme Work Programme 1 Strategic Programme (plus tentative information for 2016) Work Programme 2 Strategic Programme (plus tentative information for 2018) Work Programme 3 (plus tentative information for 2020) Work Programme 4
Strategic Programme for the 2014-2016 Work Programme
Horizon 2020 Work Programme Horizon 2020 is different • Multidisciplinary approach • Strong challenge based approach – allowing applicants freedom to come up with innovative solutions • Substantially fewer topics - providing clarity to applicants, but in a non-prescriptive way • Simplified list of possible type of action (research and innovation 100% Direct Costs; innovation actions – 70% Direct Costs) Overheads – flat rate 25% • Less prescription, strong emphasis on expected impact • Broader topics • Cross-cutting issues mainstreamed (e.g. social science, gender)
Personalised Health and Care • Choice to focus on personalised health and care – informed by ageing of the European population • Increasing communicable and non-communicable disease burden • Fall out from economic crisis • Aims to create opportunities for real breakthrough research and radical innovation Supporting translational of findings into clinic and other healthcare settings to improve health outcomes, reduce inequalities and promote active and healthy ageing
Rational for 1 st Work Programme • Demographic changes • Chronic diseases • Sustainability of health and care systems – cost of inaction • Drug development pipeline • Infectious disease – in terms of global development, resurgence, pandemic threat • Big data
Work programme Topics Structure reflects the challenge based approach 1. Specific Challenge – sets the context, the problem to be addressed, why intervention is necessary 2. Scope – delineates the problem, specifies the focus and the boundaries of the potential action BUT without overtly describing specific approaches 3. Expected Impact – describe the key elements of what is expected to be achieved in relation to the specific challenge
Work Programme Summary • Understanding health, ageing and disease – 2 topics • Effective health promotion, disease prevention, preparedness and screening – 6 topics • Improving diagnostics – 3 topics • Innovative treatments and technologies – 6 topics • Advancing active and healthy ageing – 3 topics • Integrated, sustainable, citizen-centred care – 7 topics • Improving health information, data exploitation and providing an evidence-base for health policies and regulation – 5 topics
Work Programme • Societal challenge ‘Health demographic change and wellbeing’ • 2014 & 2015, 32 topics the ‘personalised health and care’ focus area call • 10 topics in the ‘co - ordination activities’ call
