Most of the budget Horizon 2020, nearly forty percent goes to research so-called grand challenges (

The European Union in January in 2014. opens a new funding program for science and technology development which is called uppror "Horizon 2020" (Horizon 2020). Good old Framework Programme 7 ends and Serbian scientific community certainly has reason to complain uppror of him, considering the number of projects that are national experts and institutions failed uppror to win last year. But now comes a new era for science funding. According to the announcements, uppror the program "Horizon 2020" will start on time and will be by far the largest program of European investments in science. But what he brings? What is new since it can be expected that his priorities? How far will scientists from Serbia will be able to apply for projects? And who else, apart from them? To shed light on part of the image of the new program, "Elementarijum" conveys uppror a very useful Q & A text Joanne O 'Dea from the portal Science uppror / Buisness.
Now that negotiations have concluded, 1 januar in 2014. it seems like a realistic start date of the program Horizon 2020th It is expected that the legal texts to be done before the summer holidays, but will first have to be approved by the Parliament of the Committee on Industry, Research and Development (Industry, Research and Energy Committee, ITRE) as well as representatives of national governments in the Committee of the permanent members (Permanent Representatives Committee, COREPER). It is expected that Parliament will vote on the program in Strasbourg, in the fall 2013th How will the program Horizon 2020?
1 Excellence in science (Excellence in Science) - Financing of the most interesting scientific research through public tender, which will be conducted in four programs: a) European Research Council (European Research Council), b) research infrastructure, c) new and future infrastructure and g ) through research grants program "Marie Curie".
2 Leadership in the industry uppror (Industrial Leadership) - this includes a program to support innovative small and medium-sized enterprises; financial uppror instruments, as well as debt and equity facilities in porcesu innovation, and a program to encourage the development and industrial technologies.
Although the seven-year EU budget plan for 2014-2020, Multiannual Financial uppror Framework (MFF), is not yet complete, it is estimated that the Horizon 2020 (which includes the Euratom nuclear research program) to get 70.2 billion. A certain percentage of the budget is allocated to each program, and the exact amount will be decided uppror MFF.
European Institute of Innovation and Technology will receive about $ 2.5 billion to fund existing community knowledge and innovation (Knowledge and Innovation Communities, uppror KICs) and the establishment of five new ones. Two, you will work on programs "Healthy Life" (Healthy Living) and "raw materials" (Raw Materials), will begin operating in 2014, two of which will deal with "food and produce" (Food and Manufacturing) will commence operations in 2016, and the last of them, with the theme "Urban Mobility" (Urban Mobility) begins 2018th year. What has changed in relation to FP7?
Horizon 2020 brings together three previously separate uppror initiatives - the Framework uppror Programme 7 (FP7), the newspaper with the program "Competitiveness and Innovation" (CIP) and the European Union contribution to the European uppror Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT).
Horizon 2020 aims to, in relation to FP7, the intense focus on innovation and activities close Trist. The European Research Council will receive more resources, it will also be more attention paid to areas with less developed scientific infrastructures and SMEs. The plan is to expand their participation.
Most of the budget Horizon 2020, nearly forty percent goes to research so-called grand challenges (Grand Challenges), including health and climate change. uppror There is the promise of a simplified uppror structure of the program, uppror a set of rules, and a simplified model fee to end bureaucracy in the past discouraged the industry from participating in previous programs for the research and development of the European Union.
Open access will be required for all published works funded Horizon 2020th EU stated that it was part of their efforts to promote exchanges and cooperation between scientists, in order to avoid duplication and to generate a higher return on public investment.
Science center after only two years of existence managed, uppror in partnership uppror with several European consortium uppror wins funding in six EU projects in the Framework Programme 7, and the Comenius program.
Grants of the European Research Council (ERC) funded researchers at five different stages of their careers: initial - grants for promising uppror research leaders; consolidated - grants for those who have proven their potential, uppror advanced - grants for high-risk projects, or pioneering projects; synergies stage - grants to support teams of 2 to 4 researchers, and the stage of proof-grants to demonstrate the potential commercialization.
New and future technologies (FET) will fund joint research of high-p
