Main elements of
The H2020 Compromise
A simple funding model:.
 100% Direct Costs + 25% [70% for Innovation only]
 Time-to-grant of 8 months ("5 + 3 months”)
 Guidelines on the transfer of indirect to direct costs for large research
infrastructures.
Some new activities
 "Spreading excellence and widening participation" and "Science with and for
society" are addressed as separate parts outside the three main pillars.
 New Societal Challenge 7 on "Secure Societies".
 New activities on cross-cutting marine and maritime research (Challenge 2) and
Cultural heritage (Challenges 5 and 6).
Dedication of budgets to key topics: SME Research & Innovation, Energy and FET
 Target of at least 20% of the combined budget of LEIT and Societal Challenges for
SMEs.
 5% [> 7% ] of the combined budget of LEIT and Societal Challenges will be
distributed through the SME instrument
 Energy, 85% of the budget is set for non-fossil fuel energy research; rest dedicated
to fossil fuel related energy research
 40% of the FET budget is earmarked for FET Open.

Main elements of
The H2020 Compromise
Fast Track to Innovation Pilot:
 A Fast Track to Innovation pilot is to be launched in 2015 :
 For close-to-market actions
maxima: of 5 partners and 3M€ per project
 open calls with three cut-off deadlines per year
 fast time to grant
 project will not require Programme Committee approval.
 covering all fields across Industrial Leadership and Societal Challenges
Pillars

The pilot will include a sufficient number of projects to allow for an in depth evaluation that will be part of
the mid-term evaluation of H2020. Future implementation of the Fast Track will be decided on the basis of
the evaluation results.
Derogations from the Rules of Participation for JTIs
 Derogations from the Rules for Participation for JTIs are restricted to specified
areas and are to be adopted by delegated acts.
Revenues and repayments of the financial instruments
 Derogation from the Financial Regulation will permit both revenues and
repayments to be returned to the financial instruments.
