Horizon 2020
•
•
•
•
•
•
Added value – EU needs R&I
Puts EU on the map globally
Competition for excellence (nurture talent!)
Structuring effects & new policies
Investigator-driven & collaboration (“Triple I”)
Discovery research and societal challenges
•
Very low success rates
•
Focused on close-to-market research (high TRLs)
•
Complex rules and red tape
13

EU needs research,
research needs EU
Ø
FP has clear
EU added value,
EU needs
research and innovation
Ø
Increase investment in R&I to at least
3% of
GDP
- both EU and Member states
Ø
FP9: at least €
120 billion
(cf. EP (“double”)
and Lamy report )
Ø
FP focus on parts with strongest EU added
value:
ERC, MSCA and collaborative R&I
Ø
Close the
knowledge triangle

FP9: Beyond the horizon
Ø
Excellence:
e.g. ERC (autonomy!) and MSCA (IFs, ITNs)
Ø
Collaborative
progamme:
§
Broad topics with bottom-up consultation
within set challenges (SDGs)
§
Top-down calls for emerging issues or to complement bottom-up topics
Ø
Impact:
more sophisticated approach, pathways to impact
Ø
Trust
in beneficiaries (accounting procedures)
Ø
Simplification:
continue!
Ø
Grants-focused
(not loans)
Ø
Input-based
(not output-based/close-to-market)
15

Other important features of
collaborative R&I
Ø
Clustering
of related (collaborative) projects >> create knowledge
exchange and impact, and >> avoid overlap
Ø
Follow-up funding:
to test market potential, cross the “valley of
death”, cf. PoC in ERC
Ø
SSH engagement:
e.g. in expert groups for bottom-up topics
Ø
International:
associated and third countries, reciprocal agreements
(NIH)
Ø
Evaluation:
standing evaluation panels & remote reviewers, face-to-
face meetings, transparent feedback to applicants,
