Investment in R&D is part of the solution
to exit from the economic crises
What is Horizon 2020
• Commission proposal for a 80 billion euro research and innovation funding program (2014-20)
• Part of proposals for next EU budget, complementing Structural Funds, education, etc.
• A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union & European Research Area:
− Responding to the economic crisis to invest in future jobs and growth
− Addressing peoples’ concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment.
− Strengthening the EU’s global position in research, innovation and technology

What’s new in Horizon 2020
• A single program bringing together three separate programs/initiatives
− 7
thFramework Program for R&D (FP7)
− Innovation aspects of Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Program (CIP)
− EU contribution to the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT)
• 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
• Effort to reduce average time to grant by 100 days (350 days
under FP7)
