Innovation Union at a glance

Horizon 2020 Europe’s research programme

• Need to move to a knowledge society and to become a more competitive and sustainable economy…to pursue those objectives the EU should carry out activities to implement research, technological development, demonstration and innovation…

• H2020 should support all stages in the research and innovation chain (including non-technological and social innovation and activities that are closer to the market)…

• Both H2020 and the cohesion policy seek a more comprehensive alignment with the Europe 2020 objectives of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. This approach calls for increased synergies between these two instruments.

Key messages

• Key focus of EU policy (Europe 2020 Strategy) – Competitiveness, Jobs and Growth

• Competitiveness driven by research and innovation

• More emphasis in R+I policy and therefore more funding

• Two major sources of future funding for R+I – Structural funds

– Horizon 2020 • Plus other related funding opportunities

• Key role for regions – Strategy - Smart specialisation and strategic thinking

– Synergies - combining EU/MS/regional funding

– Collaborating outside the region (learning/partnerships/ completing value chains)
