The SME Innovation Instrument, Horizon2020 and Talent Europe. A discussion by...Alberto Minin
I provide a quick introduction to the Meridian Fellowship on Social Innovation and to my project, Talent Europe,
I will then present some of the latest numbers regarding the implementation of the SME Innovation instrument, one of the most innovative parts of the 8th presentation Framework program called Horizon 2020
I will briefly share with you three concepts that I think might be interesting to explore as a basis of a useful comparison between Europe and US science and technology Policy.
What I am seeking to do as a Meridian Fellow is to expand my expertise on science and technology policy and to contribute to the debate around this topic that is developing in Europe. I think that there are better ways to engage and to empower EU talent, and to make it become key player of EU Economic Recovery and competitiveness
The US had been a continuous source of inspiration for the EU debate on science and technology, and more in general on innovation policy.
Later on I will discuss about the SME innovation instrument that had been inspired in part by the SBIR program here in the US.
Not only policy makers and scholars have been guiding this exchange of ideas and experiences, but also US Embassies in Europe have been very important in sharing with Europe some news. I am very familiar with the case of the US Embassies in Italy. The past three Ambassadors have been evangelists of messages and priorities. Ronald Spogli emphasized the role of high tech entrepreneurs in society, David Thorne has focused on the role the digital economy can have a driver of growth, more recently the sitting ambassador, John Phillips is very vocal about the benefits that Italy could derive by a more efficient judiciary system
My experience as scholar, and teacher is telling me that the debate on innovation in Europe is desperately in need of some fresh air and new ideas.
I believe that there are four areas where we can look.
The first one has to do with new original ways to communicate the relevance of sicence and technology for society.
The second has to do with the way we mentor and assist scientists and engineers that seek to become entrepreneurs. What is the role of universities, government and private sector to achieve this task.
Third area is corporate entrepreneurship, industrial venturing and the attitude EU large corporations have towards change.
Finally demands side innovation policy: public procurement and the setting of challenges and ambitious goals, where sometimes the role of the government should not be to provide the means to achieve these goals, but to promise to act as first buyer for the best solutions for a specific challenge.
This session will cover various aspects of FIWARE, a platform designed to facilitate the development of smart solutions for a range of industries.
The session will begin with an introduction to the FIWARE Training program, which offers courses designed to help developers, entrepreneurs, and other interested parties get up to speed with FIWARE technologies.Next, attendees will learn about the FIWARE Marketplace,an online platform that provides access to FIWARE-based products and services and how to become part of it.
The session will delve into the intersection of thermodynamics and FIWARE, and how this collaboration can address climate change. Attendees will learn about the use of FIWARE in creating smart solutions for energy management, emissions reduction, and more.
Furthermore,The session will showcase the FIWARE integrated data platform for healthcare, which offers a range of tools and applications designed to improve healthcare outcomes.
Finally, the session will also explore the Smart Data Models program, which will show 6 use cases of their successful use in different industries (Health, Energy, Water, open data, etc). Attendees will learn about the benefits of using these models and how they can be integrated into various applications.
Overall, this session offers a comprehensive overview of the various aspects of FIWARE, including its marketplace, training programs, smart data models, and integrated data platforms for healthcare. The session will be beneficial for developers, entrepreneurs, and other interested parties looking to leverage FIWARE technologies to create innovative solutions for a range of industries.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

19. New challenging features of H2020
Bigger projects in terms of funds, smaller in terms of
partners
20% of Spanish University participations are under 70.000 €
The new focus on innovation requires higher levels of
interaction with Companies and result-oriented approaches
Special attention to be given to consortium agreements with regards to IPR
Externalisation: JTIs and Initiatives P2P (Art 185) absorb
substantial budgets (10% in total, with 36% in Health and
42% in Transport)
JTIs in particular have specific eligibility rules and/or not all their budgets
are accessible through open call for proposals
Fiercer competition: UE13 (more recent Member States)
progress very rapidly
20. New opportunities
New integrated approach to Research and Innovation
Opportunities for exploitation
Increased budget
More funds in general
“Bonus scheme”: topping up of salaries up to € 8.000 per year FTE.
Less prescriptive calls: increased bottom-up approach
Simplification:
Better funding of projects for non-profit organisations (100% direct costs + 25%
as indirect costs)
Less reporting, less red-tape
Simpler evaluation criteria: Excellence, Impact, Implementation
For ERC, only Excellence criterion
Possible to combine H2020 funding with other funds, namely
Structural Funds
UE13 countries still with very low return rates
Widening (Teaming, Twinning, ERA Chairs): opportunities for international
positioning
26. VLC CAMPUS OBJECTIVES
VLC Campus Objectives (simplified)
VLC Campus as a Knowledge hub of international
excellence focused on: Health, ICT and sustainability
– “Widening” activities: opportunity for international positioning of
VLC Campus.
Improvement of the education portfolio: a student-centric
approach
Fostering talent attraction and retention
Leading the change in the territory towards a more
knowledge-intensive economy
Reference model for innovative and socio-cultural values
for a sustainable economy and society
H2020 may help in achieving these objectives
27. Building the European Research Area
Recommendations of the 2013 ERA Progress Report*
Infrastructures: There is a need for more transparency of the conditions for transnational
access to research infrastructures
Mobility: A co-ordinated effort is needed by Member States and institutions to ensure that all
research positions are subject to open, transparent and merit-based recruitment practices.
Member States should remove barriers preventing the implementation of access to, and
portability of, national grants, and research funding organisations must intensify
cooperation to facilitate the process.
Doctoral Training: Member States, research funding and research performing organisations
are encouraged to promote a wider uptake of the innovative doctoral training principles,
including, where appropriate, through use of the European Structural and Investment Funds.
(ERA Chairs)
Gender: Member States should implement comprehensive strategies of structural change to
overcome gender gaps in research institutions and programmes.
Open access: Member States should continue deploying efforts in implementing Open Access
to publications, and continue setting an adequate policy framework for Open Access to data,
while taking into consideration IPR issues, notably in the case of private sector involvement in
research
Knowledge transfer: Member States need to further define, implement and assess national
knowledge transfer strategies to deliver a structural and cultural change in the research and
innovation system and increase the economic and social impact of research
Digital ERA seamless online access to digital research services for collaboration, computing
and accessing scientific information; the federation of electronic identities for
researchers, which facilitates researchers' cross-border access to services and resources; and
harmonised access and usage policies for e-infrastructures and digital research services

31. Avenues for action: more funds for better research
Large margin for improvement
Mobilisation of new participants
Leadership of projects
More ambitious projects
Explore opportunities in all areas of H2020
ERC grants
Mobility Grants of the Marie S. Curie Actions
Future and Emerging Technologies
Societal Challenges
PPPs and P2P
EIT KICs
Widening Actions: Teaming, Twinning, ERA Chairs
Better interaction with Structural funds
Need for a coordinated action with Regional and National Authorities
managing Structural Funds. Link with RIS3
32. Avenues for action: supporting structures
Due support through dedicated structures (project offices) for
the promotion of participation in H2020
Proactive: Identification of opportunities - orientation on calls and
large initiatives.
Turn-key solutions to research groups: preparation of proposals
and project management and reporting
Professional consultancy on IPR and dissemination Liaison with
Regional, National and European resources:
National Contact Points
Enterprise Network
Offices in Brussels: CSIC, SOST, Regional offices
Optimisation of know-how, resources, networks
Professional Managers
33. Need for a strategy with clear objectives
H2020 budget:
77.028 M€
Possible quantitative targets:
Objective for Spain in 2020: 5.000 M€
Valencian Region:
500 M€
Universities:
150 M€ (20 M€ per year)
– 25 ERC grants by 2020 (14 in FP7)
– 1,000 funded activities. Leadership in 30% of them
– At least, 15% of total competitive public funding from H2020
Coupled with National (H2020 incentives plan) and Regional
(RIS3) strategies
34. H2020: also a driver for structural change
H2020 funding, as compared to Structural Funds, requires less
administrative effort, provides higher level of co-financing and does
not require intermediaries nor pre-conditions
A smart combination of H2020 funds and Structural Funds may
help in Modernising Universities
Infrastructures
– Improvement, networking, access
Openness
– Real opportunities for open recruitment and transnational funding
– Trans-national Evaluation
Gender balance
Administrative adaptation
– Analytical accountancy to identify more costs as reimbursable direct costs
– Salaries policy to benefit from Bonus scheme
Open Access to publications and research results
– Costs of open publishing covered by H2020
36. Shared objectives: from governance to actors
It is not sufficient that policy makers and managers subscribe the
strategy
It is essential to translate these objectives downstream in the
governance structure to the University researchers
Establishing objectives at Department/Group level
Spreading awareness and promoting participation
More implication of researchers is a pre-condition
As applicants/partners/leaders
As evaluators/experts
As Seconded National Experts in the EC

38. Questions for the debate
A cultural shift is needed towards a shared responsibility in
improving participation in H2020
Is there sufficient awareness, information and motivation of researchers
in Universities to contribute to improve the participation in H2020?
Do they feel concerned by these objectives?
H2020 can contribute to the progress in the modernisation of
Universities (particularly openness). In turn, modernisation will
make Universities more competitive, but it will impose more
internal competition
How to match researchers’ career expectations with the effective and
active opening of University positions to everyone in Europe?
Would a candidate to a University Presidency (Rector) who incorporates
the ERA objectives as part of his/her programme ever win an election?
