Horizon 2020 – UKRO Visit update

Funding opportunities, international Emily Cieciura

On Wednesday, 8th November 2017, BU staff enjoyed the annual UKRO visit, timed to provide an update on the new 2018-2020 Work Programmes, released at the end of October. Our institutional representative, Andreas Kontogeorgos, gave an excellent summary of all the new calls and opportunities, especially within the Societal Challenges and where industrial collaboration is championed. Given that one day is insufficient to provide and take in all the information available, please refer to the slides from the day in MyBU. Please select UKRO Updates, and continue into this section having read the access information.

If you have an interest in applying to Horizon 2020 and other European funding, please make full use of BU’s subscription by registering to receive updates from UKRO. On their website, you can access subscriber-exclusive support materials including call fact-sheets (which will be updated as required) and details of UKRO events.

Within BU, additional support materials are being developed, along with follow-up events based around calls, which will be announced and circulated in due course.

BU staff considering applying for any of these calls and other international funding, should contact Emily Cieciura, RKEO’s Research Facilitator: International Funding, for further information and support.

Horizon 2020 – hit the ground running for 2018-2020

Funding opportunities, international Emily Cieciura

The European Commission has pre-published a number of the Horizon 2020 draft Work Programmes for the period 2018-2020. In each case, please keep in mind that these drafts have not been adopted or endorsed by the European Commission and are for the purposes of providing potential participants with the currently expected main lines of these work programmes, as per the disclaimer at the start of each of the documents below.

With reference to calls which are ‘top-down’, please keep an open mind and do not assume that all the calls in, for example, Societal Challenge 1; Health, Demographic Change and Well-being are only for those working directly in those disciplines. Far from it, this Work Programme requires the research expertise of those working in, amongst others, big data, digital health, cybersecurity, smart living, ICT enabling technologies and regulatory frameworks, as well as the more obvious fields of maternity, ageing and the treatment of disease.

The pre-publication documents currently available are:

Strategic Programme Overarching Document – giving context for the suite of Work Programmes and the cross-cutting themes

Pillar 1: Excellent Science:

Pillar 2: Industrial Leadership:

Pillar 3: Societal Challenges:
