www.vlaamsmaterialenprogramma.be

Duurzaam materialenbeheer Agentschap Ondernemen: vaste partner Streven naar : • afstemming NIB-FvT & VMP, • optimalisering steuninstrumentarium, • samenwerking en synergieën via concrete acties vb. materialenscan voor kmo’s (AO-OVAM)

Vlaanderen = efficiënt draaiende kringloopeconomie Clustervorming Slimme specialisatie

Een volgende stap in de implementatie van het NIB Roadmaps en gericht clusterbeleid

Roadmaps en gericht clusterbeleid

• Doel 1. Vertrekken van ‘entrepreneurial discovery’ 2. ‘Emerging industries’ oprichten 3. Vernieuwende concepten en producten vermarkten

• Middel Gedragen roadmap Gericht clusterbeleid => Dit vereist een planmatige aanpak

• Roadmapping van: • Business cases

Vermarkten van een concrete vernieuwing • Waardenketens en clusters

Creëren van een nieuwe industriële activiteit • Voor economische uitdagingen

Vernieuwend aspect + Impact op de waardenketen Analyse van de economische haalbaarheid

• Toolkit Dialogic

• Resultaat : integrale roadmap : rol cluster + overheid

Nieuwe oproep roadmapping

• Deeltraject van FISCH • Waardeketen voor additive manufacturing in de

maakindustrie (Made different) • Kringloopeconomie - OVAM

Testtrajecten

Horizon 2020 – Het Europees strategisch beleid over materialen

Jan Ramboer, project officer DG Research & Innovation

Europese Commissie

The New EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation 2014-2020

HORIZON 2020

Jan Ramboer Fabriek voor de Toekomst Nieuwe Materialen 23rd of October 2013

The Multiannual Financial Framework 2014-2020: European Council conclusions, 8 February 2013 Key challenge: stabilise the financial and economic system while taking measures to create economic opportunities

1. Smart & inclusive growth (€451 billion)

2. Sustainable growth, natural resources (€373 billion) 3. Security and citizenship (€16 billion) 4. Global Europe (€58 billion) 5. Administration (€61.6 billion)

Education, Youth, Sport

Connecting Europe Cohesion

Competitive Business

SMEs

HORIZON 2020

TOTAL €960 billion

Investment in R&D is part of the solution to exit from the economic crises

What is Horizon 2020

• Initial Commission proposal for a €80 billion research and innovation funding programme (2014-2020); now just over €70 billion

• A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union & European Research Area:

− Responding to the economic crisis to invest in future jobs and growth

− Addressing people’s concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment

− Strengthening the EU’s global position in research, innovation and technology

Active involvement of stakeholders

• EU Presidencies: Sweden (societal challenges-based approach), Spain (integration of research and innovation), Hungary (FP7 interim evaluation), Poland (widening participation), European Council conclusions from 4.2.2011 (Common Framework to bring together all EU research and innovation funding)

• European Parliament reports: Merkies (Innovation Union), Audy (FP7 evaluation), Matias (Horizon 2020) and Carvalho (simplification)

• Overwhelming response to the public consultation on Horizon 2020 (more than 2000 contributions)

• Survey on administrative costs for participants in FP7

• 25 workshops on the content of 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

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)

Three priorities

Excellent science

Industrial leadership

Societal challenges

Priority 2. Industrial leadership

Why:

• Strategic investments in key technologies

(e.g. advanced materials, micro-electronics) underpin

innovation across existing and emerging sectors

• Europe needs to attract more private investment in

research and innovation

• Europe needs more innovative small and medium-sized

enterprises (SMEs) to create growth and jobs

Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies (LEITs) (i) ICT including micro- and nano-electronics and photonics (ii) Nanotechnologies (iii) Advanced Materials (iv) Biotechnology (v) Advanced Manufacturing & Processing (vi) Space

13 557

Access to risk finance Leveraging private finance and venture capital for research and innovation

2 842

Innovation in SMEs Fostering all forms of innovation in all types of SMEs

616

Proposed funding (€ million, 2014-2020)

• One call for Nanotechnologies, Advanced materials

Business models and KET support actions (NMP call)

• One call for Biotechnology

• Three cross-cutting calls implementing Factories of

the Future (FoF), Energy-efficient buildings (EeB)

and Sustainable Process Industries (SPIRE)

Calls for Nanotechnologies, Advanced Materials, Biotechnology & Advanced Manufacturing and Processing

32

The proposal should describe:

• Exploitation and/or business plans

• Engagement of partners along industrial value chain

• Standardisation

• IPR

• Dissemination of know-how

• Support for education and training

• Expected impact

33

Simplification: Rules for Participation

1. A single set of rules: Adapted for the whole research and innovation cycle Covering all research programmes and funding bodies Aligned to the Financial Regulation, coherent with other new EU Programmes

2. One project – one funding rate Maximum of 100% of the total eligible costs (except for innovation actions, where a

70% maximum will apply for profit making entities) Indirect eligible costs: a flat rate of 25% of direct eligible costs

3. Simple evaluation criteria Excellence – Impact – Implementation (Excellence only, for the ERC)

4. New forms of funding aimed at innovation pre-commercial procurement, inducement prizes, dedicated loan and equity

instruments

5. International participation facilitated but better protecting EU interests

Simplification: Rules for Participation

6. Simpler rules for grants broader acceptance of participants accounting practices for direct costs, flat rate for

indirect costs, no time-sheets for personnel working full time on a project, possibility of output-based grants

7. Fewer, better targeted controls and audits Lowest possible level of requirements for submission of audit certificates without

undermining sound financial management Audit strategy focused on risk and fraud prevention

8. Improved rules on intellectual property Balance between legal security and flexibility Tailor-made IPR provisions for new forms of funding A new emphasis on open access to research publications

Beyond the Rules: further simplified provisions in the Grant Agreement and implementing procedures to facilitate access to Horizon 2020 (e.g. common IT platform).

Simplification: summary

• Single set of simpler and more coherent participation rules • New balance between trust and control • Moving from several funding rates for different

beneficiaries and activities to just two • Replacing the four methods to calculate overhead or

«indirect costs» with a single flat rate • Major simplification under the forthcoming financial

regulation • Successful applicants to get working more quickly:

time-to-grant of 8 months; exceptions for the ERC and in duly justified cases

Strong participation by SMEs

• Integrated approach - around 20% of the total budget for societal challenges and LEITs to go to SMEs

• Simplification of particular benefit to SMEs (e.g. single entry point)

• A new SME instrument will be used across all societal challenges as well as for the LEITs

• A dedicated activity for research-intensive SMEs in 'Innovation in SMEs'

• 'Access to risk finance' will have a strong SME focus (debt and equity facility)
