Annalisa Bogliolo
Programme Coordination Unit
DG CONNECT
FInES Cluster meeting, Brussels 6 May 2013

What is Horizon 2020?
• Commission proposal for an ~88 billion* Euro R&I
funding programme (2014-20)
• Part of proposals for next EU budget, complementing
Structural Funds, education, etc.
• A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union &
European Research Area
-> Growth, Jobs & Competitiveness
*current prices

• A single programme (FP7 + CIP + EIT)
• Strong focus on societal challenges (game changing for ICT…)
• More innovation
• Reaching out to non-traditional actors
• More risk taking
• Strengthened support for high-tech SMEs
• More open, light & fast schemes
What is new?

• Overall budget (Multiannual Financial Framework)
still under discussion (~79B€ for H2020 TBC)
• Trialogue (EP/Council/Commission) on legislative
proposal ongoing
• First discussions with MS took place
• Advisory Groups are being setup
• Commission services are setting up governance
structure

Societal challenges
• 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
