  2. Intro • Why Apply for EU Funding? • Intro to Horizon 2020 • Societal Challenges • ERC • Marie Sklodowska-Curie • LEIT • Other H2020 Schemes • Events • The European Team at York

  3. Why Apply for EU Funding? Prestigious and world renowned – boosts reputation/visiblility Large budget available/up to 5 years of funding World-wide collaborations, create strong research networks Strongly encourage working with industry and SME’s Huge variety in the possibility of research (i.e. bottom up/top down) Improved bureaucracy – main aim is successful research Dedicated EU Grants and Contracts Team at York York Compliant to EU It should be fun and exciting! Vibrant, diverse consortiums developing the future of research with one of the most prestigious funders supporting you.

  4. Horizon 2020 Intro • Biggest EU Research and Innovation programme yet, with 79 billion euros of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020) • Main Aims of H2020- • Strengthen the EU’s position in science • Improve European economy. • Address major societal concerns shared by all Europeans such as sustainable food security, health and well-being, the challenge of an ageing population, developing sustainable transport and mobility, affordable renewable energy and climate change.

  5. Work Programme Part 1 (2014/15) 12 focus areas • Competitive low-carbon energy • Water innovation: boosting its value for Europe • Smart cities and communities • Energy Efficiency • Overcoming the crisis: new ideas, strategies and governance structures for Europe • Disaster-resilience: safeguarding and securing society, including adapting to climate change • Digital security • Mobility for growth Personalising health and care Sustainable food security Blue growth: unlocking the potential of seas and oceans Waste: a resource to recycle, reuse and recover raw materials

  6. Horizon 2020: Structure

  7. Horizon 2020 - Societal Challenges • Challenge-based approach, allowing applicants to have considerable freedom to come up with innovative solutions • Interdisciplinary: ‘brings together resources and knowledge across different fields, technologies and disciplines’ • ‘emphasis on innovation-related activities’ Multi-partner international teams Size/funding highly variable Duration 2-5+ years Research and Innovation Actions Co-ordination and Support Actions eg standardization, dissemination, awareness-raising and communication

  8. H2020 Societal Challenges

  12. Evaluation of Pillar 3 3 Criteria, each scored out of 5: • Excellence clarity of objectives, credibility of approach, soundness of concept • Impact expected impacts, dissemination + IPR, communication • Quality and efficiency of the implementation work plan, participants + consortium, management, sound financial plan Usual threshold = 3/5 for each criterion, 10/15 overall For 1st stage of 2-stage submissions: Excellence + Impact, threshold 4/5 • Independent assessment by external evaluators • Then reviewed by Panel = chaired by EC + involving external experts → proposals listed in priority order

  13. Tips for Success in Societal Challenges 1. Scientific Excellence, especially something innovative and different 2. Societal and economic benefit and growth is a big theme – Engaging industry and SMEs 3. Strong partnership with Member States and international cooperation 5. Demonstration of product/research and promotion of your research (include costs for a website and outreach activity to promote results/H2020), open access (€5k per partner) 6. Evidence of sound financial management (include some costs for administration) 7. Clear Leadership and organisation of the project 8. Gender equality in research and attention to Ethical issues

  14. Horizon 2020 - European Research Council Support to the individual researcher No predetermined subjects (bottom-up approach); all disciplines and cross boundaries between research fields - pioneering Frontier research projects – ground-breaking nature , novel hypotheses, new and emerging fields of research, etc. Excellence is the sole criterion (of the idea & the individual) Open to all researchers from anywhere in the world willing to do research in Europe Highly competitive; restrictions on re-applying (C:2 ys, B:1y) – Very prestigious
