What is Horizon 2020?
• Commission proposal for an 80 and then 70 billion
euro R&I funding programme (2014-20)
• Part of proposals for next EU budget of ~ 960 B€,
complementing Structural Funds, education, etc.
• A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union &
European Research Area:
– Responding to the economic crisis to invest in future jobs
and growth
– Addressing peoples’ concerns about their livelihoods,
safety and environment
– Strengthening the EU’s global position in research,
innovation and technology
3
What’s new?
• A single programme bringing together three separate
programmes/initiatives: FP7/CIP/EIT*
• More innovation, from research to retail, all forms of
innovation
• Focus (see budget !) on societal challenges facing
EU society, e.g. health, clean energy and transport
• Simplified access, for all companies, universities,
institutes in all EU countries and beyond.
*The 7th research Framework Programme (FP7), innovation aspects of Competitiveness
and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP), EU contribution to the European Institute
of Innovation and Technology (EIT)

But - The goals have not changed
• Growth, Jobs & Competitiveness
• Better articulation of research and
innovation
• Seamless funding from idea to market

- Ongoing:
Adoption of legislative acts by Parliament and Council on
Horizon 2020 and MFF
– 6-8/11 2013: ICT in H2020 Launch Conference, Vilnius, Lithuania;
Launch of first calls
– 1/1/2014:
Horizon 2020 starts
– 1/1/2014:
(Council regulation on new JTI ECSEL ?)
36
Examples of open questions wrt potential ICT projects in general
and to the HTA SIS facility project in particular (1)
– Which % of the budget for “priority” Soc. Challenges can be “conquered”
by ICT projects? Largest “priority” with 40% of overall budget!
– How will the problem of a flat rate for indirect costs (20%) be solved? By
1/2014 a pragmatic proposal by DG Connect is expected (with part of
indirect cost coming under direct costs);
- How can different financial sources be combined in one project? Clear
and detailed financial plans are requested to show the use of such
sources (see here below foot note in WP 2014-15, 6.4 Phot Pilot Lines):
“ Whenever appropriate, actions should seek synergies and co-financing
from relevant national/regional R&I programmes, e.g. structural funds
addressing smart specialisation. Actions combining different sources of
financing should include a concrete financial plan detailing the use of
these funding sources for the different parts of their activities.”
37
Chances for support of a HTA SIS type facility
under H2020?
1. What can DG Connect offer in their ICT LEIT part, WP2014-15:
- ICT 2, 3 und 25: no PL offer so far, however, access services called for!
- ICT 27, 28: access services & PLs called for, but photonics products, call 2;
hence the Qs: can we adapt our product portfolio?
- ICT 18: ICT Innovation for Growth of Mfg SMEs: does not support PLs
- ECSEL: by TRL definition of Eniac (TRL 2-8) HTA type PL should be possible,
but so far strictly industry driven with HVM outlook;
2. What can DG ENTR offer?
- Tender for study on “scope and intensity of coop between European RTOs”
to support implementation of KETs action plan (max price: 600k€) –
No relevance for HTA
38
Chances for support of a HTA SIS type facility
under H2020? (cont.)
3. What can DG RTD offer in WP 2014-15?
In their LEIT part “Nanotech, Materials, Mfg & Processing”,
In their LEIT part Factory of the Future (11 obj. 2014&15),
In their Exc. Science part – Research Infrastructures (call 2):
No µE & HTA relevant offer under DG RTD WPs 2014-15!
39
Conclusion
1. Various components or smart systems related infrastructure
developments or deployments (PLs and Access service
offers) are foreseen both under ICT LEIT and ECSEL !
2. HTA to discuss how to grasp these opportunities !
Thank You
