General Principles
in Horizon 2020

Strengthen the European Union’s economy and faces
societal challenges
A boost for new jobs, growth and investment
Horizon 2020 – 8th EU Research
and Innovation Programme

Duration: 2014 – 2020
Budget ca. 80 billion Euro (7 years)
Ca. 20% of the budget is foreseen for SMEs
Switzerland is fully associated

2018-2020
ca. 30 bn still available

Two call principles:
Top-down programmes: EC has identified the
challenges - Collaborative projects
Bottom-up programmes: Free choice of topics -
Individual funding, SME-Instrument etc.

Participant Portal and
Work Programmes

The Participant Portal
 Participant Portal of
Horizon 2020
 https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-
tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/ho
w-to-participate/how-to-participate
 One Work Programme for
each of the societal
challenge (Health, ICT,
Energy etc.), MSCA, ERC
etc.

The Work Programme (WP)
 Formal document of the European Commission that sets out
research objectives and topics of a specific theme.
Topic description with “Specific challenge, Scope, Expected
Impact”, to which applications can be submitted.
 Topic conditions and documents:
time frame for submission of proposals (deadlines)
Funding scheme (type of action)
indicative budget and funding limits
evaluation procedure
special requirements for consortia

Find Work Programmes in Participant
Portal or ask Euresearch

Call: Digital Transformation in Health and Care
Topic example: Big data and Artificial Intelligence for monitoring health
status and quality of life after the cancer treatment
Call: Information and communication technologies
Topic example: Supporting the emergence of data markets and the data
economy
…….and many others
Examples for calls and open topics

Topic description
Specific Challenge – this sets the context, the problem to be addressed, and why
intervention is necessary.
Scope – this delineates the problem, specifies the focus and the boundaries of the
potential action but without overly describing specific approaches.
Expected Impact – this describes the key elements of what is expected to be
achieved in relation to the specific challenge.
Type of action - sets out the funding schemes (e.g. Research and Innovation action,
Innovation actions etc.).
Indicative Budget for the topic

Research & Innovation Action (100% funding)
collaborative research projects with defined scientific and technological objectives
mainly in basic research
Innovation Action (70% funding for SMEs, 100% for academia)
collaborative research projects for activities closer to the market (prototyping,
testing, demonstrating, piloting)
Coordination and Support action (100% funding)
For dissemination, communication, networking, coordinating activities, online
community (no research)
SME-Instrument, FTI, Prizes
Common funding schemes (types of
action)

Application procedure
Start a project

 Find a relevant work programme and open call and a topic
 For a Collaborative Project:
 Find partners: Minimum of three partners from three different
countries - one is the coordinator
 Build a consortium: you provide an international consortium of
experts the best solution to the identified problem
Application procedure

Application procedure cont.
 Be aware of the application deadline
 Discuss IP rights, patents, access rights etc.
 Agree on work packages and tasks
 Define budget / partner

 Every proposal will be evaluated by at least three evaluators
 Evaluation report will be sent to consortium after 5 months

Project start after a
positive evaluation
 Ca. 3 more months to signatures of contracts:
 Grant Agreement: legal binding document between the participants
(beneficiaries) and the European Commission
 Consortium agreement: private agreement between the beneficiaries
to set out the rights and obligations amongst themselves. EC is not a
