Horizon 2020 proposal

Fostering new skills by means of excellent initial training of researchers

• The goal is to train a new generation of creative and innovative researchers, able to convert knowledge and ideas into products and services for economic and social benefit in the Union.

• Key activities shall be to provide excellent and innovative training to early-stage researchers at post-graduate level via interdisciplinary projects or doctoral programmes involving universities, research institutions, businesses, SMEs and other socio-economic actors from different countries. This will improve career prospects for young post-graduate researchers in both the public and private sectors.

Innovative Training Networks



1) In FP7 a small number of ER could be recruited under ITN. In Horizon 2020, ITN should be the main tool of the EU to support the training of ESRs and in particular doctoral researchers.

2) In FP7, the success rate of ITN is very low (around 10%). This shows demand to be very high and that many of the proposals going through a costly evaluation process are not funded. Consequently, a reduction of the maximum project size could be considered.

3) In FP7, participants were categorised as part of the private sector or as part of the public sector. However, the aim of ITN is to support collaborations between typical academic institutions and non-academic institutions, independently of their public or private status. In that sense, the terminology used in FP7 could be adapted for the Horizon 2020 ITN.

Horizon 2020 ITN Issues 1-3



4) The Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorates (EMJD) is another EU programme currently funding doctoral training, i.e., ESRs. In order to simplify and harmonise the different EU programmes, joint doctorates will be transferred to ITN in Horizon 2020. However, as joint doctorates focus more on structuring doctoral training at the European level than on academic/non-academic partnerships, a participation of organisations from the non-academic sector at the participant level might not have to be compulsory.

5) In the current form of the FP7 ITN, the IDP modality finances mono-beneficiary projects. The success of single-participant projects in ITN has been very limited all over FP7 and a better solution to implement single-participant projects may be explored for Horizon 2020.

6) In FP7, the EID modality only allows 2 participants (one from each sector) per project. In Horizon 2020 the industrial doctorates could make provisions for more than 2 participants. The minimum number of participants from the non-academic sector could then be defined accordingly.
