Programmes (FP7 & CIP)
Horizon 2020 is the new EU funding programme for
research and innovation running from 2014 to 2020
with a €70 billion budget. The first calls for proposals
for Horizon 2020 are envisaged for December 2013.
Its simplified rules and submission and grant
management tools should facilitate participants' tasks.
For practical guidance, see the H2020 Funding Guide.
Programme for the Competitiveness of
Enterprises and SMEs (COSME) will run from
2014 to 2020, with a planned budget of
€2.3bn. It will facilitate SME access to
finance, create supportive environment for
business creation, help small businesses
operate outside their home countries and
improve their access to markets.
H2020 supports SMEs with a new instrument that
runs throughout various funded research and
innovation fields, so it should be easy for SMEs to find
opportunities in many calls.
H2020 also aims to enhance EU international
research cooperation so there are more
opportunities for Third Country participation.
Having built H2020 around the main societal challenges
like an ageing population, food security, energy
efficiency, the EU attaches high importance to embed
socio-economic sciences and humanities into the
work programme.
Another important priority of the Commission is to
ensure gender is embedded in the design of Horizon
2020 project proposals.

Call summary
Previous Framework
Programmes (FP7 & CIP)
Water is an invaluable resource for human health, food security, sustainable development and the
environment, and is an economic sector of growing importance for Europe. However, water resources are
constantly under pressure from climate change, urbanisation, pollution, overexploitation of freshwater
resources and increasing competition between various user groups, and the improvement of the state of
water resources will trigger substantial economic benefits.

of water is the lack of real scale demonstration of their long term viability. In addition, highly promising and
advanced eco-innovative water technologies, processes, products and services often do not reach the market
due to pre-commercialisation challenges and the residual risk linked to scaling-up. The first Strategic
Implementation Plan of the European Innovation Partnership (EIP) on Water has identified as priority areas:
water reuse and recycling; water and wastewater treatment, including recovery of resources; water and energy
integration; flood and drought risk management; and the role of ecosystem services in the provision of water
related services.
Scope: Actions should address one or more of the following:
• demonstration/pilot activities of new or improved innovative water solutions
(technologies, processes, products and/or services) in a real environment
• the first application and market replication of near commercial water solutions.
They should focus on the priorities identified in the first Strategic Implementation Plan of the European
Innovation Partnership (EIP) on Water, and/or helping process industries become less water dependant while
ensuring efficient management of other resources (e.g. raw materials and energy), and/or exploiting untapped
potential of ICT by developing and deploying advanced ICT solutions for water resources management in
agriculture and urban areas.
Expected impact: Wide and fast deployment of eco-innovation in the water sector in line with the priority

Partnership (SPIRE PPP), in particular helping process industries to view water as a highly valuable asset rather

resource efficiency and environmental performance of the water sector, through synergies between public
water authorities, water utilities, various economic sectors, big companies, SMEs and research organisations.

Other Funding Opportunities
Previous Framework
Programmes (FP7 & CIP)
The challenge is to develop new cross-sectoral industrial value chains across Europe, by building upon the
innovation potential of SMEs. Europe needs to support the development of emerging industries, which will
provide the growth and employment of the future. The reindustrialisation of Europe has to focus on the
development of long-term internationally competitive goods and services that require combining different
competences and innovative solutions. The development of new industrial value chains calls for the
collaboration and integration of different innovation actors, including large enterprises and especially
SMEs, across different sectors towards the implementation of a joint vision.
