What is Horizon 2020 Commission proposal for a 80 billion euro 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
Europe 2020 priorities Shared objectives and principles European Research Area Societal Challenges - Health, demographic change and wellbeing - Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research, and the bioeconomy - Secure, clean and efficient energy - Smart, green and integrated transport - Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials - Inclusive, innovative and secure societies EIT will contribute to addressing these challenges Excellence in Science - Frontier research (ERC) - Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) - Skills and career development (Marie Curie) - Research infrastructures Industrial Leadership - Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies - ICT - Nanotechnologies - Advanced materials - Biotechnologies - Advanced manufacturing and processing - Space - Access to risk finance - Innovation in SMEs Simplified access Common rules, toolkit of funding schemes Coherent with other EU and MS actions
Horizon 2020: What s new? Ø Ø Ø Ø A single programme bringing together FP, CIP, EIT Coupling research to innovation Simplified access for all companies, universities, Focus on three pillars: q q q Excellent science Industrial leadership Societal challenges
Primi commenti Programma basato su un approccio top down (eccezioni) Necessità di costituire consorzi internazionali Work Programmes, bandi, peer review Procedure amministrative Difficoltà a formare partnerships per quanti non dispongono di esperienza, vaste reti di cooperazione e solido supporto strategico
Primi commenti Ricerca partners: Partecipazione ad eventi, Pubblicazioni scientifiche int.li, Scambi Apertura di progetti in corso Cordis: Annunci, Progetti http://cordis.europa.eu/
Nuove prospettive Smart Specialisation Strategy (Fondi Strutturali) e nuove regole di gestione Progetti paralleli o congiunti con Paesi Terzi (SICAs,Targeted openings, Coordinated calls, Twinning ) Azioni bottom-up (ERC)
Caso Italia FP7: Utilizzo del 7/8% contro il 13% di contributo al bilancio: perdita annua di 400 M sul totale nominale di 6 MI. trend futuro 550 M. EU budget 2013 +/- 140 MI
