Comuncazione CE 2012:
A Reinforced European
Research Area Partnership for
Excellence and Growth
Combining policies with complementary objectives
Common political framework
→ Strengthening knowledge & innovation as drivers of growth & competitiveness
→ Tackling major societal challenges in the EU 2020 framework
→ Bridging the gap between science and the market, through successive stages
Horizon 2020 (H-2020)
→ Objectives: focus on excellence in R&I, S&T-driven R&D; also industrial competitiveness (incl. SMEs)
and societal challenges (climate, energy, food…)
→ Project selection: at EU level by competitive calls for proposals and through independent / merit
based peer review
→ Territorial impact: no pre-defined geographical distribution of funding, but more beneficiaries in the
more developed regions
Cohesion policy funds (CP)
→ Objectives: focus on applied R&I in support of regional socio-economic development, on innovative
SMEs and how to build capacities for innovation & growth through an innovation friendly business
environment
→ Project selection: based on programmes designed / implemented in shared management between
EU, national & regional authorities; projects selected at national / regional level on the basis of
social and territorial impact criteria
→ Territorial impact: pre-defined geographical distribution of funding with larger allocations to less
developed regions.
Policy elements facilitating synergies H-2020/CP (1)
Same strategic goals: EU 2020 strategy
Same programming period: easier synchronisation and planning
Ex-ante-conditionality (new)
→ Existence, at national and/or regional level, of research and innovation strategies for
smart specialisation (RIS3) for approving Partnership Contracts and Operational
Programmes submitted by the Member States.
→ RIS3 in line with the National Reform Programme and with features of well-performing
national or regional research and innovation systems
→ Peer review to assess RIS3 prepared by the national / regional authorities: REGIO & RTD
work together, with the assistance of the RIS3-Platform
Same project supported by different funds [Art.55(8), CP Gen.Reg.]
→ possible for different expenditures items
Support outside of the programme area [Art.60(2), CP Gen.Reg.]
→ possible up to 10% (at priority levei): useful for enabling combined support from CP &
H-2020 to several partners in different countries.
Policy elements facilitating synergies H-2020/CP (2)
Simplified costs options under H-2020 & CP (new)
→ Similar eligibility rules proposed for simplifying the financial management: lump sums,
flat rates & unit costs possible under both policies for funding direct/indirect costs
without providing documents proving real expenses.
→ Reduction of the administrative burden for the beneficiary managing the same project
with a support coming from different funds or managing several projects supported
separately by different funds.
Enhanced territorial cooperation CP budget share
→ 3.1% of total ERDF of which almost 6% for inter-regional cooperation
→ that allows to build trans-national linkages between regional innovation actors, building
on FP7 RoK (Regions of Knowledge) and RegPot (Research Potential) measures or CIP
cluster cooperation or networking of procurers or innovation agencies, but allowing to
include less advanced regions in a targeted manner.
Putting synergies into practice
Within RIS3: upstream/downstream CP actions to/from H-2020
→ Upstream, capacity-building for R&I excellence and technological change: research infrastructures
and equipment, in particular, projects of European interest in the context of Joint Programming
Initiatives and ESFRI, with industrial partners,
→ Downstream, innovation in enterprises: exploitation of results from RTD, dissemination and
adoption of new technologies (e.g. KETs), through applied research, technology transfer,
technology development and demonstration facilities (cooperation: universities, research,
businesses),
Strategic and operational coordination
EU level: strategic coordination based on Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialisation
(RIS³), through reinforced cooperation between DG RTD and DG REGIO. Priority setting for Horizon
2020 based on RIS³?
National/regional level: strategic & operational coordination based on RIS³ and on establishing and
exchanging lists of projects for identifying and promoting synergies between complementary
projects, through joint meetings between authorities and/or agencies involved in H2020 and
Cohesion policy
Horizon 2020
Horizon 2020: Experts wanted for biggest EU research
programme yet
Brussels, 22 November 2013
Ahead of the start of Horizon 2020, the new EU research and innovation
programme, the European Commission has today launched a new call for
independent experts. Experts are needed to evaluate proposals for EU
funding and for other activities such as monitoring, programme evaluation
and policy development.

Trilogues on Horizon 2020
10 trilogue meetings took place between January and June 2013, with many technical sessions on the
Framework Programme, the Rules for Participation and the Specific Programme.
At the trilogue meeting of 25 June 2013, the co-legislators reached a political agreement covering the
Framework Programme, the Rules for participation and the Specific Programme of Horizon 2020 (although the
specific programme is not part of the ordinary legislative procedure - "co-decision") as well as the EIT. The
Euratom 2014-2018 programme was not part of this agreement.
The main elements of the compromise package include:
 simplification (retaining the Council’s funding model);
 architecture and new action lines;
 budget earmarking for the SME instrument, Energy and FET;
 a Fast Track to Innovation Pilot;
 derogations from the Rules of Participation for JTIs;
 revenues and repayments of the financial instruments.
 the budget distribution;
•
8
Main elements of the compromise on H2020
Simplification and the funding model:
 The simplified funding model from the Council PGA was retained.
 Additional remuneration ("bonus") is restricted to non-profit organisations.
 Time-to-grant of 8 months ("5 + 3 months"); exceptions for the ERC and in duly justified cases.
• Guidelines on the transfer of indirect to direct costs for large research infrastructures.
Architecture and new action lines
 "Spreading excellence and widening participation" and "Science with and for society" are addressed as
separate parts outside the three main pillars.
 New Societal Challenge 7 on "Secure Societies".
 New activities on cross-cutting marine and maritime research (Challenge 2) and Cultural heritage (Challenges
5 and 6).
Budget earmarking for the SME instrument, Energy and FET




9
The SME instrument will be a key instrument in achieving the target of at least 20% of the combined budget
of LEIT and Societal Challenges for SMEs.
Initially 5% of the combined budget of LEIT and Societal Challenges will be distributed through the SME
instrument, and this will rise to at least 7% averaged over the duration of the programme.
For Energy, an earmark of 85% of the budget is set for non-fossil fuel energy research; 15% of the budget will
be dedicated to fossil fuel related energy research (Commission declaration).
40% of the FET budget is earmarked for FET Open.
Main elements of the compromise on H2020
Fast Track to Innovation Pilot:
 A Fast Track to Innovation pilot is to be launched in 2015, with the following features:
 aimed at close-to-market actions with a maximum of 5 partners and a maximum of € 3M per project
 open calls with three cut-off deadlines per year
 fast time to grant
 project will not require Programme Committee approval.
 covering all fields across LEITs and Societal Challenges.
 The pilot will include a sufficient number of projects to allow for an in depth evaluation that will be part of
the mid-term evaluation of H2020. Future implementation of the Fast Track will be decided on the basis of
the evaluation results.
Derogations from the Rules of Participation for JTIs
 Derogations from the Rules for Participation for JTIs are restricted to specified areas and are to be
adopted by delegated acts.
Revenues and repayments of the financial instruments
 Derogation from the Financial Regulation will permit both revenues and repayments to be returned to the
financial instruments.
