This document provides an overview of the Horizon 2020 framework program for research and innovation from 2014-2020. Key points include: - Horizon 2020 has a budget of €70.2 billion, focusing on excellent science, industrial leadership, and societal challenges. - ICT is addressed under the industrial leadership priority, with an estimated budget of €8-9 billion. This focuses on areas like future internet, cloud computing, robotics, microelectronics, and photonics. - Public-private partnerships (PPPs) will play an important role in implementing ICT and other industry-related activities. Both existing and new PPPs are outlined. - The goals are to strengthen European leadership in key technologies,

1. Work-in-Progress
ICT in Horizon 2020
The European Framework Program
for Research and Innovation
(2014 - 2020)

2. For the EC, R&D&I is only a tool
Investment in R&D is part of the solution
to exit from the economic crises

3. • Originally: A Commission proposal of €80 billion for 2014-2020
bringing together 3 separate programs (RFP, CIP, EIT)
Key challenge: stabilise the financial and
economic system while taking measures
to create economic opportunities
• Now: A guarantee of a budget ≈ €70.2 billion
Official publication first WPs: 11 December 2013 (not sure yet)
• Core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union & European Research Area to:
 Tackle the economic crises investing in growth and future jobs;
 Address people’s concerns about their standard of living, safety
and environment;
 Strengthen the Europe’s global position in research, innovation
and technology.
What is Horizon 2020?

4. A single program
Bringing together 3 separate programs:
• 7th Framework Program (FP7)
• Competitiveness & Innovation
Framework Program (CIP)
• EU contribution to the EIT
Coupling research to innovation
• Much more emphasis on innovation
 Horizon 2020 goes beyond research and facilitates the step
from research to innovation;
 Whole chain: from (fundamental) research to market;
 All forms of innovation: new products & services, non-commercial
social innovation (e.g. better public services or adressing societal
needs), pilots, public procurement, standard setting)
• More involvement of industry via industrial deployment of key enabling
technologies (KETs) and through PPPs (institutional and contractual);
What’s new?

5. Focus on societal challenges
No prescription of the specific research topics to be addressed, but a description of
societal challenges to be solved in areas such as health, food safety, energy, transport.
Simplified access / No negotiation phase
Less time for administrative procedures
 effect on processes at UT
Funding:
Direct cost (100% or 70%) + 25%
No full-cost!
Open access to research data
Data management plan:
access to data (also others), data storage during and after project, …
Proposal for reduction of EC costs in 2014
 effect on Horizon 2020:
10.2 b€ in 2013 but only 8.8 b€ in 2014 (-13.6%)
What’s new? (cont.)

37. Discussion
• Agenda setting
- Role in PPPs: EIT, ETPs, EIPs, FET Flagship programs;
ICT Labs, Artemis, Enica, Robotics, Net!Work
- ‘Rapporteurs’: Lambert van Nistelrooij and Judith Merkies;
- Meetings in Brussels.
• Positioning
- Excellent Science (pillar 1): FET, ERC, Marie Curie
- Industrial Leadership (pillar 2): ETP’s, EIT ICT Labs
- Societal Challenges (pillar 3): EIP’s, EIT ICT Labs
Other type of partnerships needed (working in innovation chains).
- It’s is difficult for ICT players to integrate themselves into themes initiated by
sector actors, as the sectors do not understand what the ICT players can bring
to endeavours.
Evaluators often do not recognize the contributions ICT players can make.
 opportunity of ‘High-tech Human-touch’ approach of UT.
• National - Europe
- Linkage Topsectoren and Horizon 2020;
- Smart regions: Horizon 2020 + Structural Funds.
