Horizon 2020 from the "GDP and
beyond" perspective
My presentation gives you an overview:
 The new structure in Horizon 2020 and the Novelties in
comparison to the earlier Framework Programmes
"GDP and beyond" from the Horizon 2020 perspective:
sustainability in Europe 2020 Strategy as an horizontal issue/
“GDP and beyond” as a cross-cutting issue in Horizon 2020
“GDP and beyond” as SSH research objective, i.e. Based on the “eframe approach” in Horizon 2020

Horizon 2020 implements Europe 2020
Strategy
Horizon 2020 is the new EU Framework Program for
Research and Innovation with a budget of ca. 78 bio
euro. It implements the Europe 2020 strategy:
 Smart, sustainable and inclusive growth in Europe
 Europe 2020 five Headline targets: Employment rate; 3%
of GDP; Climate and Energy; Education; Poverty and social
exclusion
 Seven Flagship Initatives, in particular the Innovation
Union Flagship

Horizon 2020 novelties
• A single programme bringing together three separate
programmes/initiatives*
• Coupling research to innovation – from research to retail,
all forms of innovation
• Focus on societal challenges facing EU society, e.g. health,
clean energy and transport
• Cross-cutting issues mainstreamed: social sciences, gender,
international cooperation
• Simplified access, for all companies, universities, institutes in
all EU countries and beyond

"GDP and beyond“ as sustainability issue in
Horizon 2020
Sustainability is at the core of Europe 2020 Strategy
 Horizon 2020 contribution to sustainability on environmental,
economic and social dimensions and civil society dimensions
 Horizon 2020: 60% of the budget are allocated to the generic
objective of sustainability and climate change: they are crosscutting issues in Horizon 2020
 Horizon 2020 research and innovation actions with view of new
solutions/ innovation actions, not only research
=> 60% of 78 bio euro for sustainability and climate change is good

news of course….How does it work?

I. Horizon 2020
has
- Three priorities
- Complementing objectives: like widening
- Cross-cutting issues like sustainability and SSH
- General principals throughout the programme like
ethics

Horizon 2020 Structure
Excellent science
 European Research Council (ERC); Future and Emerging
Technologies (FET); Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA)
Industrial Leadership
 Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies (LEITs),
Access to risk finance, Innovation in SMEs
Seven Societal Challenges
 Health, Food security, Energy, Transport, Climate, Europe in
a changing world, Secure societies

"GDP and beyond“ as cross-cutting
sustainability issue – How?
- Priority 1: Scientific excellence
- Sustainability as under the Priority 2 “Industrial Leadership"
- with view of finding solutions : eco-innovation; health
innovations; …
- Sustainability in Priority 3 across all Societal Challenges: not
only research but also innovation actions

"GDP and beyond" as SSH research/ e-frame
concept in Horizon 2020 – an overview
“GDP and beyond” as cross-cutting SSH research is possible in
all priorities
- Excellent science
- "Embedding SSH" in Priorities 2 and 3
- Societal Challenge 6 " Europe in the changing world Inclusive, innovative and sustainable societies”
What type of (interdisciplinary) issues: measurement, policy making,
externalities, pricing, distribution, wealth, well-being, psychology, culture,
history etc.

II. Embedding SSH across
Horizon 2020
Policy
Research
and
Innovation
SSH in Horizon 2020
"Social sciences and humanities (SSH) research will be
fully integrated into each of the general objectives
of Horizon 2020."
Horizon 2020 regulation
= Embedding SSH (as cross-cutting issue)
Policy
Research
and
Innovation
Embedding SSH: two approaches

General Integration: All Societal Challenges, LEIT and
activities under Excellent Science are generally open to
SSH contributions in all their lines of activity and thus
favour 'integrating SSH' as genuine interdisciplinarity
('integrating in the research problem').

Dedicated Integration: In some Societal Challenges
and parts of LEIT have a specific SSH line of activity
called 'the socio-economic dimension of…' is delineated,
i.e. requires SSH research.
Policy
Research
and
Innovation
SSH in Excellent Science
 The European Research Council (ERC): About 17 %
of the ERC-budget will be allocated to SSH.
 Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MCA)
 Several major research infrastructures in the SSH
are supported by H2020: => opportunities might arise
for GDP and beyond Infrastructure
Policy
Research
and
Innovation
SSH in Industrial Leadership
 Strengthening the cultural and social aspects of innovation
 SSH as a source of creativity in development of services
and products
 Societal aspects of new and emerging technologies (e.g.
societal acceptance; citizens' participation in decisionshaping; ethical aspects; new technologies and changing
lifestyles)
 Business and management models (for example green
sustainability)
Policy
Research
and
Innovation
SSH across the Societal Challenges

Integrated in the Societal Challenges which will bring together
different technologies, sectors, scientific disciplines, social
sciences and humanities, and innovation actors to find new
solutions

Plays a major role in the Societal Challenge 6 "Europe in a
changing world – inclusive, innovative and reflective societies”

Example 1 of SSH-relevant topics ('flagged')
Societal Challenge 1 'Health, demographic change and
wellbeing'
Call PHC 22–2015 'Promoting mental wellbeing in the ageing
population'
•
Proposals will include multi-disciplinary research to improve the
understanding, prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment of mental
conditions and disorders of older people.
•
Research may include a dimension of research into physical, psychological
and social determinants of healthy ageing.
•
Proposals may address the role of external or internal determinants of
mental health, including e.g. sensory deficits, chronic disease, substance
use, socio-economic stressors (loneliness, poverty), or physical
stressors.

Societal Challenge 7 'Secure societies – Protecting freedom
and security of Europe and its citizens'
Call FCT 14–2015 'Understanding the underlying social,
psychological and economic aspects of the genesis, methods and
motivation of organized crime (including cyber related offenses)'
•
Research should investigate the role of social, psychological and economic
factors in progression of individuals who had unremarkable lives into
organised crime and terrorist networks.
•
Research may examine the role of friendships, kinships, milieus and peer
groups of (social) networks and social media. It may also examine the
characteristics of individuals that leave them susceptible to these
influences and/or social conditions conducive to organised crime.
•
The analysis may also take into account state of the art of theory and
research on inclusion and social cohesion and apply economic
measures.
