L'ERC incoraggia proposte:
 che ampliano le conoscenze scientifiche e tecnologiche e
aprono nuovi orizzonti (pioneering proposals)
 ground-breaking (at the frontiers of knowledge)
 high-risk, high-gain
 di impostazione interdisciplinare
 che superano le tradizionali barriere tra settori
 in settori nuovi ed emergenti

FET – Future and emerging technologies
Fet Open WP2014-2015:
•Long-term vision: the research proposed must address a new,
original or radical long-term vision of technology-enabled possibilities
that are far beyond the state of the art and currently not anticipated by
technology roadmaps.
•Breakthrough S&T target: research must target scientifically
ambitious and technologically concrete breakthroughs that are arguably
crucial steps towards achieving the long-term vision and that are
plausibly attainable within the life-time of the proposed project.
•Foundational: the breakthroughs that are envisaged must be
foundational in the sense that they can establish a basis for a new line
of technology not currently anticipated

Industrial leadership
Industrial leadership
Why:
•
support to industry, to recover from economic crisis
•
Emphasis on R&D and innovation with strong industrial dimension
•
Activities primarily developed through industrial roadmaps (ETPs, PPPs)
•
Involvement of industrial participants and SMEs to maximise
expected impact: key aspect of proposal evaluation
•
Funded projects will be outcome oriented, developing key technology
building blocks and bringing them closer to the market
•
Proposers are asked to demonstrate how the exploitation of results
will generate the expected impact and contribute to the European
economy (business plan, exploitation plan)
•

Tecnologie "ad alta intensità di conoscenza e
associate ad elevata intensità di R & S, a
cicli d'innovazione rapidi, a consistenti
spese di investimento e a posti di lavoro
altamente qualificati. Rendono possibile
l'innovazione nei processi, nei beni e nei

Sono
multidisciplinari, interessano tecnologie di
diversi settori e tendono a convergere e a

the KET parts of this work programme will use Technology Readiness Levels
(TRLs) where relevant. This Work Programme addresses Technology
Readiness Levels from 3-4 up to 7-8.
For Space, this Work Programme focuses on low Technology Readiness
Levels (1-4), with bottom-up calls, and on preparing the ground for high
Technology Readiness Level activities (6-7), with Strategic Research
Clusters and in-orbit demonstration
"Cross-cutting KETs" activities bring together and integrate different KETs
and reflect the interdisciplinary nature of technological development (ex mob
phones=micro/nano electronics, advanced materials etc).
The integration of different KETs represents a vital activity in Horizon 2020.
Over the course of Horizon 2020, around 30% of the budget allocated to
KETs will go to integrated KETs projects.

Future solutions to the major Societal Challenges will require the
deployment of key enabling technologies, ICT components and systems, and
communication infrastructure (including space).
The activities under this Work Programme will further develop the
technologies that are needed to enable promising solutions for important
(focus) areas and applications addressing societal challenges (ex. in order to
combat cancer and diabetes, the technological basis for nano-medicine
treatment and bio-materials will be developed).
biotechnology is relevant for a number of focus areas (blue growth,
sustainable food security, water, personalised medicine…).

Industrial leadership –
Industrial leadership – esempio di bando 1/3
NMP 13 – 2014: Storage of energy produced by decentralised sources ).
Specific challenge: Electricity will increasingly be produced from sources which
are geographically decentralised and/or are intermittent in their nature. There
is thus an urgent need to increase the storage of energy, in order to improve
on the stability of weak grids, to be able to intentionally island the electricity
distribution, and to ensure the continuity of energy supply.
Scope: Proposals should develop innovative materials solutions that will make
storage technologies more available, better performing and more cost
effective. The solutions should exploit synergies between technologies as
much as possible, contributing to the development of hybrid systems.
Support from integrated computational/experimental approaches is
envisaged.
Horizon 2020
Industrial leadership
Industrial leadership – esempio di bando 2/3
NMP 13 – 2014: Storage of energy produced by decentralised sources ).
Scope:
• For this topic, proposals should include an outline of the initial exploitation
and business plans. Wherever possible, proposers could actively seek
synergies, including possibilities for cumulative funding, with relevant national
/ regional research and innovation programmes and/or European Structural
and Investment Funds in connection with smart specialisation strategies.
Exploitation plans, outline financial arrangements and any follow-up should
be developed during the project.
• Activities expected to focus on Technology Readiness Level 5.

Expected impact:
Alleviation of geographical constraints for low carbon energy production, with
increased efficiencies at a reduced cost;
Reduction of the barriers to increase the penetration rate of distributed and
/or intermittent renewable energy sources;
Realisation of a new generation of energy technologies that will support the
competitiveness of European industries through the realisation of a new
generation of storage technologies based on advanced materials;
Implementation of relevant parts of the Materials Roadmap Enabling Low
Carbon Energy Technologies (SEC (2011) 1609), and relevant objectives of
the SET-Plan.

Societal challenges
Societal challenges
Why:
•
Concerns of citizens and society/EU policy objectives (climate,
environment, energy, transport etc) cannot be achieved without
innovation
•
Breakthrough solutions come from multidisciplinary collaborations,
including social sciences and humanities
•
Promising solutions need to be tested, demonstrated and scaled up.

Main EIT instrument
A KIC is a highly integrated, creative and excellence-driven partnership
which brings together key actors from the three sides of the knowledge
triangle - research, higher education, and innovation-entrepreneurshipbusiness - in order to produce new innovations and new innovation models
that inspire others to emulate it.
KICs address long-term societal challenges
KICs are networks of networks: each node, called co-location centre, is a
local – typically national – cluster
