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. Horizon 2020 represents a break from the past, in order to meet the new challenges and opportunities. It brings together all EU level research and innovation funding into a single programme, covering the current 7th research Framework Programme, the innovation activities from the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme, as well as EU funding to the European Institute of Innovation and Technology. These currently separate activities have been integrated to allow seamless funding of research and innovation, allowing innovative projects to be supported from the laboratory to commercial exploitation. Previously separate activities have been brought together to focus on the societal challenges such as health, clean energy and transport. All forms of innovation will be included, including innovation in services and social innovation. Support will also be given to develop the market and legal frameworks for innovations to be deployed, such as on public procurement, standard setting and regulations. Horizon 2020 will also provide a major simplification, with a single set of rules, less paperwork, and faster funding. The aim is to attract the best researchers and innovators regardless of where they are located.
