A single programme: 80 billion research and innovation funding programme (2014-2020) Coupling research with innovation: 'from lab to market' Focus on societal challenges: health, clean energy, transport, etc. Open to participation: companies, universities, institutes in the EU and beyond WHAT IS HORIZON 2020? 28 Member States 24% of world expenditure on research 32% of high-impact publications 32% of patent applications 16 Associated Countries Open to the world automatic funding for developing countries 2
Benefits of collaboration under Horizon 2020 - Open to the world join top level research teams - Networks - all TRL (from basic research to market) - high level joint publications in EN - communication in EN - learning and training programmes (for young researchers, support staff) - one entry point, one sets of rules (leading role of the coordinator) - success rate ca. 20% - internationalization (average project 10 organisations 5-7 countries) - exchange / receive researchers (IF, RISE) Open to the world - standardization / trends - competition / collaboration 3
