Issues
- Success rate (16%) below third countries average (22%)
-Low industry (and SMEs in particular) participation
- Lack of coherence between identified potential and actual thematic participation : need for more strategic and focused approach and promotion activities

Industry involvement : R2I projects
• Based on the ERA-WIDE twinning model, regional scope• Network different actors of the knowledge value chain :
research-industry partnerships• Focus on a single challenge• Identify concrete opportunities /bottlenecks related to
knowledge transfer and exploitation• Capacity-building, staff mobility schemes, innovation
vouchers• Provision of actual innovation support services

Strategic approach: BILAT/INCONET
- Bilateral level: BILAT UKR*AINA+ promotion of bilateral cooperation with Ukraine (S&T Agreement)+ supports Joint S&T Cooperation Committee+ 4 joint priorities : new materials, biotechnology, health, transport (aeronautics)
- Regional level: INCONET EaP+ reference coordination platform for mobilizing stakeholders on the ground (e.g. H2020 opportunities)+ synergies (Black Sea, Danube, Central Asia..)+ direct support to the Panel implementation
PolicyPolicy Research and Innovation

Strategic approach: new R&I Panel
- Research and Innovation Panel implemented through the EaP Platform 4
+ launch of a bi-regional policy dialogue gathering officials and experts from EU Member States and the 6 EaP countries
+ co-ownership, mutual interests+ definition of a regional cooperation roadmap+ first Panel meeting : Brussels, 13

PolicyPolicy Research and Innovation
Research and Innovation
What is Horizon 2020:
• A 70 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
PolicyPolicy Research and Innovation
Research and Innovation
What’s new
• A single programme bringing together three separate programmes/initiatives*
• 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.
*The 7th Research Framework Programme (FP7), innovation aspects of Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP), EU contribution to the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT)

Priority 1: Excellent Science
• Why:
• World class science is the foundation of tomorrow’s technologies, jobs and wellbeing
• Europe needs to develop, attract and retain research talent
• Researchers need access to the best infrastructures

Priority 2: Industrial leadership
• Why:
• Strategic investments in key technologies (e.g. advanced manufacturing, micro-electronics) underpin innovation across existing and emerging sectors
• Europe needs to attract more private investment in research and innovation
• Europe needs more innovative SMEs to create growth and jobs

Priority 3: Societal challenges• Why:
• Concerns of citizens and society/EU policy objectives (climate, environment, energy, transport etc.) cannot be achieved without innovation
• Breakthrough solutions come from multi-disciplinary collaborations, including social sciences & humanities
• Promising solutions need to be tested, demonstrated and scaled up

Simplification: summary
• Single set of simpler and more coherent participation rules
• New balance between trust and control
• Moving from several funding rates for different beneficiaries and activities to just two
• Replacing the four methods to calculate overhead or «indirect costs» with a single flat rate
• Major simplification under the forthcoming financial regulation
• Successful applicants to get working more quickly: time-to-grant of 8 months ("5 + 3 months"); exceptions for the ERC and in duly justified cases
PolicyPolicy Research and Innovation
Research and Innovation
Strong participation by SMEs
• Integrated approach - around 20% of the total budget for societal challenges and LEITs to go to SMEs.
• Simplification of particular benefit to SMEs (e.g. single entry point).
• A new SME instrument used across all societal challenges as well as for the LEITs.
• A dedicated activity for research-intensive SMEs in 'Innovation in SMEs'.
• 'Access to risk finance' will have a strong SME focus (debt and equity facility)

New strategy for international cooperation in research and innovation
Need to engage more actively and strategically in international cooperation:
• Three main objectives:• Strengthen the Union's excellence and attractiveness in research and
innovation as well as its industrial and economic competitiveness
• Tackle global societal challenges
• Support the Union's external policies
•Combining openness with better targeted actions
•Strengthened partnership with Member States
•Stronger contribution of research and innovation to external policies of the Union
PolicyPolicy Research and Innovation
Research and Innovation
International cooperation
• International cooperation is crucial to address many Horizon 2020 objectives.
• Principle of general openness: the programme will remain to be the most open funding programme in the world.
• Horizon 2020 shall be open to the Association of: all countries associated to FP7 and selected ENP countries that fulfil the relevant criteria (capacity, track record, close economic and geographical links to the Union, fair and sound IPRs systems).
• Targeted actions to be implemented taking a strategic approach to international cooperation (dedicated measures in the 'Inclusive and reflective societies' challenge).
PolicyPolicy Research and Innovation
Research and Innovation
Dual approach
• Openness: • Horizon 2020 open to participation from across the world• Revision to the list of countries which receive automatic funding
Targeted actions:1. Thematic: identifying areas for international cooperation on the
basis of the Union's policy agenda2. Differentiation by countries/regions to target partners for
cooperation
Scale and scope to maximise impact (regional approach)
multi-annual roadmaps for cooperation with key partners
PolicyPolicy Research and Innovation
Research and Innovation
Multi-annual roadmaps for cooperation with countries/regions
• Enlargement and neighbourhood countries, and EFTA• Focus on alignment with the ERA• Support enlargement and neighbourhood policies (support to
developing a Common Knowledge and Innovation Space)
• Industrialised countries and emerging economies• Focus on competitiveness• Tackle global challenges• Business opportunities and access to new markets
• Developing countries• Support development policy by building partnerships contributing to
sustainable development• Address relevant challenges (e.g. poverty-related diseases, energy and
food security, biodiversity)
PolicyPolicy Research and Innovation
Research and Innovation
Thematic targeting
• Starting point: Horizon 2020 societal challenges and enabling technologies
• Identify areas based on analysis of a set of criteria of the EU and potential partners:• Research and innovation capacity• Access to markets• Contribution to international commitments, e.g. MDG or Rio+20• Frameworks in place to engage in cooperation (EU, international
partners and MS) – including lessons learnt from previous cooperation
PolicyPolicy Research and Innovation
Research and Innovation
Partnership with Member States
• Union activities must add value and complement those of Member States
• Acknowledge progress made through SFIC• From national considerations to European shared
activities:• associate MS to development of EU roadmaps• prepare joint Union-MS roadmaps • common guidelines for international cooperation with
third countries (e.g. visa)

Next steps
• Formal political decisions on Horizon 2020
• Formal political decision on Multi-annual financial framework (2014-2020)
• Adoption of work programme and publication of first calls for proposals
• Horizon 2020 nationallaunch events
