Policy Research and Innovation
Horizon 2020: Key elements
• A single programme with three pillars: societal
challenges, industrial competitiveness and excellence in science
• More emphasis on innovation
• More involvement of industry via the industrial deployment of key enabling technologies, and through PPPs - institutional and contractual
• Simplified access for all stakeholders
Policy Research and Innovation
Why Public-Private Partnerships in Horizon 2020?
• To solve problems together with industry
• To strengthen European industrial leadership
• To facilitate prioritisation of R&I in line with the Europe 2020 objectives and industry needs
• To leverage research and innovation elements
• To strongly commit industry to joint objectives
Policy Research and Innovation
Experience until now: PPPs in FP7
Joint Technology Initiatives "Contractual" PPPs
• Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI)
• Clean Sky
• Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR)

• 366 projects supported, with 4409 participations
• Increased participation of industry (57%) and SMEs (25%)
• More innovation related activities, including demonstration
• The full EC contribution of € 1.6 billion has been provided, resulting in a combined investment of €2.4 billion

Policy Research and Innovation
Establishment of the contractual PPPs
• Based on ETPs and taking into account policy documents the Commission identified possible areas for a contractual PPP
• Stakeholders were invited to prepare a PPP proposal
• The private sector organised stakeholder consultations, in an open and transparent way, covering the whole value chain
• The private sector delivered the proposal to the Commission
• The Commission checked compliance with H2020 criteria for the PPPs (art. 19) with the help of high-level external experts
• Commission decision to launch the contractual PPP
• Signing of the Contractual arrangement

Policy Research and Innovation
Criteria in Article 19
Public-private partnerships shall be identified in an open and transparent way based on all of the following criteria:
a) the added value of action at Union level;
b) the scale of impact on industrial competitiveness, job creation, sustainable growth and socio-economic issues, including societal challenges;
c) the long-term commitment from all partners based on a shared vision and clearly defined objectives;
d) the scale of the resources involved and the ability to leverage additional investments in research and innovation;
e) a clear definition of roles for each of the partners and agreed key performance indicators over the period chosen.
Policy Research and Innovation
• Contractual PPPs: budget is only committed on an annual basis through H2020 calls in WPs, prepared on the basis of an industry-developed multi-annual roadmap and a contractual arrangement which specifies an indicative 7 years EU funding, and the commitments of industry to match this and to additional investments outside the PPP calls with high leverage factors, but not legally binding.
• Joint Technology Initiatives: like the contractual PPPs, but with ring fenced 7 year budget, the JU launching the calls (where derogations to H2020 are possible) and with the additional commitments of industry outside the calls inserted in the legislation.

The contractual PPP approach
Policy Research and Innovation
The WP approach of Horizon 2020
A strong challenge-based approach, allowing applicants to have considerable freedom to come up with innovative solutions
Simplified list of possible types of action (e.g. research and innovation at 100%; innovation actions at 70%,…)
Strong emphasis on expected impact (e.g. business plan), less prescription
Cross-cutting issues mainstreamed (e.g. social sciences, gender, international co-operation…)
Work programmes with 2-year duration

Simplified funding rates
• Horizon 2020
• One project = One rate • For all beneficiaries and all activities in
the grant.
• Defined in the Work Programme:
‒ Up to 100 % of the eligible costs;

Policy Research and Innovation
The LEIT part of the WP uses Technology Readiness Levels (or TRL) from 3-4 up to 7-8
Synergies with other EU, national or regional programmes are encouraged: Some topics are particularly suitable for additional funding
e.g. to explore paths to commercial exploitation or to deploy H2020-funded technologies 20
Policy Research and Innovation
Work Programme topics
• Structure reflects the challenge-based approach: 3 key features
• Specific Challenge - sets context, problem to be addressed, why intervention is needed
• Scope - delineates the problem, specifies the focus and the boundaries of
the potential action BUT without overly describing specific approaches - indication of the targeted TRLs and of the average EU funding of the expected proposal in order to suitably address the level of ambition of the topic
• Expected Impact - describes the key elements of what is expected to be achieved in
relation to the specific challenge 21

Policy Research and Innovation
Rationale of the FoF PPP
• Manufacturing contributes with 23% of European jobs (or over 30 million) directly and twice as many jobs indirectly. The vast majority are in SMEs. Manufactured goods amount to 80% of EU exports.
• Advanced manufacturing is a complex R&D-intensive activity, requiring a long term horizon. Innovative and green EU factories to make high added-value products need to be developed and deployed, but the R&D costs and risks are high.
• Technological capabilities and supply chains are dispersed across the EU. A critical mass of stakeholders at EU level is needed.
Policy Research and Innovation
• The construction sector is the largest EU single activity (€1,2 trillion, 9.6% of GDP) and biggest industrial employer (14,6 million direct jobs).
• The sector is highly fragmented and 95% of the 3,1 million enterprises (EU-27) are SMEs. Turnover has decreased significantly during the crisis.
• Buildings account for 40 % of total energy use and 1/3 of Greenhouse Gases in Europe.
• Very low replacement rate of the existing stock. Energy-efficient solutions are found at present too expensive by homeowners. Novel approaches can be optimised with research at EU scale.
Rationale of the EeB PPP
Policy Research and Innovation
Rationale of the EGVI PPP
• EU automotive industry is a key sector, with 12 million direct jobs and over € 500 billion/year in turnover. The Smart Systems Industry has 1 million direct jobs and € 10 billion/year in turnover, additionally. The vehicle market is facing a lasting crisis in Europe.
• The quick introduction of new green vehicles with higher energy efficiency and alternative powertrains is needed to support the EU policy targets.
• Technological complexity, initial low market acceptance and low return on investment call for public support. These challenges can only be met with innovation coming from several technology areas and with EU industries joining R&I forces.
Policy Research and Innovation
Rationale of the SPIRE PPP
• EU process industries sit at the core of most industrial value chains and are highly dependent on resources (energy, materials and water).
• Eight EU industrial sectors are covered (chemical, steel, cement, ceramics, minerals, non-ferrous metals, industrial water and process engineering). They represent together 6.8 million jobs in 450,000 enterprises and turnover of over €1,600 billion/year.
• They are struggling with competitiveness at global level and striving for long-term sustainability. High risks and long-term investments. There is a need for co-operation along the value chains.

Contractual arrangement
