Horizon 2020 Horizon 2020: The next framework programme for research and innovation Europe needs cutting edge research and innovation Essential to ensure competitiveness, growth and jobs Vital to tackle pressing societal challenges 3% of GDP invested in R&D: headline target of Europe 2020
Horizon 2020 Three priorities: 1. Excellent science 2. Industrial leadership 3. Societal challenges
Horizon 2020 What s new 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 Simplified access, for all companies, universities, institutes in all EU countries and beyond.
Horizon 2020 Towards Horizon 2020: more money for health research in times of austerity? Investing into the right research pays off: Better, more personalised and costefficient treatments Fewer chronic patients will drive down healthcare costs Greater focus on innovation Growth and jobs
Horizon 2020 The Health Challenge: some of the key features Understanding health, wellbeing and disease Preventing disease Treating and managing Active ageing and selfmanagement of health Adapting to an ageing population Personalised medicine Translational research Clinical trials Private sector competitiveness, capability Coordination of national efforts Methods and data Health care provision and integrated care Reduce costs: CER Expanding global cooperation
