Main elements of H2020
A simple funding model:
• 100% Direct Costs + 25%.........
Faster time to grant, Less audits
• Time-to-grant of 8 months ("5 + 3 months”)
Dedication of budgets to key topics
• SME Research & Innovation, Energy and FET
Fast Track to Innovation Pilot:
• A Fast Track to Innovation pilot is to be launched in 2015 :
INNOVATION and Simplification

Driving Innovation
Research and innovation actions
• To establish new knowledge and/or to
explore the feasibility of a new or
improved technology, product, process,
service or solution.
• May include
– basic and applied research,
– technology development and integration,
– testing and validation on a small-scale
prototype
in a laboratory or simulated environment.
Driving Innovation
Innovation actions
• Producing plans and arrangements or
designs for new, altered or improved
products, processes or services.
• May include

prototyping,
testing,
demonstrating,
piloting,
large-scale product validation and market
replication.
Driving Innovation
Coordination and support actions
Actions consisting primarily of
accompanying measures such as:
standardisation,
dissemination,
awareness-raising and communication,
networking,
coordination or support services,
policy dialogues
mutual learning exercises and studies, including design studies for new
infrastructure
may also include complementary activities of networking and coordination
between programmes in different countries.

The Money
!!
Grant = rate ( Direct + Indirect )
Grant = rate x Direct (1 + 0.25)
Research & Innovation
Grant = 1 x 1.25 Direct
Innovation
Grant = 0.7 x 1.25 Direct
Innovation
(not for profit)
Grant = 1.0 x 1.25 Direct
Driving Innovation
Reimbursement Rates !!
• 1 Direct Cost reimbursement rate by action (same rate for all beneficiaries
and all activities):
– Up to 100% for Research and Innovation actions
– Up to 70% for innovation (non-profit entities up to 100%)
– Up to 70% for PCP co-fund, 33% for ERANET co-fund, 20% for PPI co-fund
• 1 method for calculation of indirect costs:
– Flat rate of 25% of total direct costs, excluding subcontracting, costs of third
parties and financial support to third parties
– If provided in WP, lump sum or unit costs
• Funding of the action not exceed total eligible costs minus receipts

Ownership
– Beneficiary generating the results
– Joint-ownership in specific circumstances
Protection
– If results capable of commercial/industrial exploitation
