What is Horizon 2020?

A €80 billion research and innovation funding program (2014 -2020)

A response to economic crisis by investing in future jobs and growth

It addresses people's concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment

Open to the world

Horizon 2020A single programme

Coupling research with innovation: 'from lab to market'

Focus on societal challenges: health, clean energy, environment, etc.

Open to participation: companies, universities, institutes in EU and beyond

Three Key Pillars

Policy Research and Innovation

ICT in H2020• ICT in Horizon 2020 will support the development of ICT in

Science, ICT in industrial leadership and ICT in societal challenges.

• Because of the pervasiveness and radicality of the changes induced by ICT in our lives, the cross-cutting issues of responsible research and innovation (RRI) , on the one hand, and of social sciences and humanities (SSH), on the other hand, are also addressed with great care.
