12. Rules of Participation
Minimum Conditions:
For standard (cooperative) research projects:
 3 participants from member states or from associated countries
(any international partner must come in addition to this minimum)
------
For single-partner actions, like European Research Council, Marie
Skłodowska-Curie, SME or training and mobility actions:
 1 entity in an MS or associated country
Additional conditions: may be listed in the Work Programme

13. Simplified Funding Model
One reimbursement rate by action
The same rate for all beneficiaries and all activities:
– Up to 100% for Research and Innovation actions
– Up to 70% for innovation (non-profit entities up to 100%)
– Up to 70% for PCP co-fund, 33% for ERANET co-fund, 20% for
PPI co-fund

14. Eligibility for funding
Automatically eligible for funding:
EU-Member States
The Overseas Countries and
Territories linked to Member
States
Associated Countries
"Developing" countries (low or
medium per-capita income or
low GDP)
International European
interest organisations
For applicants that are not
automatically eligible, funding is
possible if:
 Provided for under a bilateral
scientific and technological
agreement
 Stated in the Work Programme
 Exceptionally, when the
Commission deems participation
of entity essential

15. INNOVATION

16. What is Innovation
• Innovation involves the whole process from
opportunity identification, research or invention to
development, prototyping, production marketing
and sales, while entrepreneurship only needs to
involve commercialization –Schumpeter
• Innovation = Invention (research) + exploitation
-Ettlie

17. Innovation and
the Private Sector
• To ensure that innovation is happening in H2020
SME participation is obligatory in most projects.
Around 20% of the total budget for Societal
Challenges and LEITs must go to SMEs.

18. How to see where you are
on the way to a product
Technology readiness levels (TRLs)
are measures used to assess the
maturity of evolving technologies
(devices, materials, components,
software, work processes, etc.)
during their development…
Generally speaking, when a new
technology is invented …it is not
suitable for immediate application.
Instead, new technologies are usually
subjected to experimentation,
refinement, and increasingly realistic
testing. Once the technology is
sufficiently proven, it can be
incorporated into a system/subsystem.
