2. 1. No current change to participation rules until UK officially leaves EU.
2. Withdrawal Agreement = UK participation to continue unaffected for Horizon
2020 projects.
3. No deal = UK participates as a Third Country, bringing own money to eligible
projects
Funds by UK Treasury (via UKRI) for UK participants of successful projects
 Underwrite Guarantee - Everything submitted before UK leaves
 Extension - After UK leaves only eligible projects in calls open to “Third Countries”

7. Strategic Context: Importance of EU Manufacturing
• 64% of private R&D investment
• 2.1 million enterprises (9% of total)
• 36 million jobs + many indirect jobs via related services
• Biggest purchaser & user of KETs: huge potential for innovation
But
– Low private R&D investment compared to international
partners – 1.4%
– Third largest contributor of GHG emissions
– Dependence on imported raw materials and technologies

8. • EU industry faces global competition and its
autonomy is compromised
o business R&D lower in EU than US, S Korea, Japan
o R&D share in high-tech sectors lower in EU
• Planetary boundaries require a
fundamental transformation
o to cope with scarce resources, incl. energy
o to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
• Growing social inequalities
o disparities in investments, technological specialisation
o impact of digitisation / artificial intelligence / future of work
o concerns about new technologies
Horizon Europe – Cluster 4 – Challenges*
*Non-paper on orientations
towards strategic programming

9. Which are the challenges
• Fast growing competition and investments in industry
outside EU
• EU still good in patenting, less good in turning R&D into
innovation and business (e.g. KETs)
• Financing difficulties
• Need for ecosystems to support SMEs
• Need for skills and competences
• Need to leverage private other funding
 How industry can invest and create jobs in Europe; and
renew and extend global leadership; generate returns for
Europe
