What is Horizon 2020?
70 billion Research & Innovation
ogramme (2014-2020)
pillars:
Excellent
science
• Key objectives:
• Respond to the crisis: invest
in future growth and jobs
• Address people’s concerns:
livelihoods, safety and
environment
• Strengthen the EU’s global

What's new?
single programme: brings together three separate
ogrammes/initiatives*
oupling research
innovation: from research to retail,
forms of innovation
ocus on societal challenges: faced by EU society (e.g. health,
ean energy and transport)
mplified access: for all companies, universities, institutes in
EU countries and beyond
Energy challenge (6 bn EUR)
Main challenges:
upport the transition to a reliable, sustainable and competitive
nergy system by:
• Reducing energy
consumption and
carbon footprint
• Growth & integration of
renewables & alternative
energy technologies
• Making the power grid
more flexible

a robust and transparent policy support
First Horizon 2020 Work Programme
sic principles:
2-year to allow for better preparation of applicants
Challenge-based approach (not prescribing technology
options)
Cross-cutting actions
Use of Technology Readiness Levels to specify scope of
activities
Technology Readiness Levels
Idea. Unproven concept, no testing has been performed.
Basic research. Principles postulated and observed but no experimental proof available.
Technology formulation. Concept and application have been formulated.
Applied research. First laboratory tests completed; proof of concept.
Small scale prototype built in a laboratory environment ("ugly" prototype).
Large scale prototype tested in intended environment.
Prototype system tested in intended environment close to expected performance.
Demonstration system operating in operational environment at pre-commercial scale.
First of a kind commercial system. Manufacturing issues solved.
Full commercial application, technology available for consumers.
esearch and Innovation actions
ctions primarily designed to establish new knowledge and/or to explore
he feasibility of a new or improved technology, product, process, service,
r solution, including testing and validating on a small scale laboratory
rototype.
rojects may contain closely connected but limited demonstration or pilot
ctivities to show technical feasibility in a near to operational environment.
ding rate: maximum 100%
nnovation actions
ctions primarily aimed at producing plans and arrangements or designs
or new, altered or improved products, processes or services. For this
urpose they may include prototyping, testing, demonstrating, piloting,
arge-scale product validation and market replication.
ding rate: maximum 70%
oordination and support actions
ctions consisting primarily of accompanying measures such as
tandardisation, dissemination, awareness-raising and communication,
etworking, coordination or support services, policy dialogues and mutual
earning exercises and studies, including design studies for new
nfrastructure and may also include complementary activities of networking
nd coordination between programmes in different countries.
ding rate: maximum 100%
