21. The making of a H2020 call
The H2020 calls is written and proposed by the European Commission
in Work Programmes.
Normally, WPs are publised once a year with deadlines over the next
half year (+/-).
Commities and advisory boards collaborates with the EC to form the
WPs.
European Technology Platforms (ETPs) cover almost all industry areas
and are important stakeholders in influencing the WPs.
In areas with no direct industry (like eHealth) the EC has established
so-called European Innovation Partnerships (EIP): Active and Healthy
Ageing, Water, Raw Materials.
Drafts of WPs are floated in Europe before the official publication date.
The National Contact Points can send you the latest versions.
The EC wants industry, public sector and universities to influence calls
and are open for input and proposals to new call sentence.

23. 2015: Smart Networks and novel
Internet Architectures
Specific Challenge: The more-than-30 years old Internet architecture is fundamentally a "host centric" architecture, with limited "in network" service
capability and static routing/addressing. Key functionalities like security, trust or mobility had not been planned in the original design. Additional service
capabilities on the Internet have been made possible with overlay architectures or patches presenting inherent weaknesses. The ever larger portfolio of
applications/devices that have to be supported, coupled with a rapidly growing number of application and societal requirements, calls for a new approach
towards the Internet architecture, which will also get computer architectures and network architectures closer for greater efficiency.
Over the last couple of years, multiple approaches have been researched: Information Centric Networks, Named Data Networking, Publish Subscribe
information Networking, user centric networking are a few of them, breaking the link between information and the physical network address where it is
located. Recursive architectures have also been proposed, to better address security and trust issues and to reengineer the layered architecture.
The next wave of research in the field of Internet Architecture should solve remaining problems and bring the most promising options closer to
deployment.
Scope: The focus of the research covers innovative Internet architectures and networking concepts that can meet the challenges and opportunities of the
21st century, taking into consideration the larger social, economic and legal issues that arise from the interplay between the Internet and society. The
target research is thus expected to address novel approaches to information access and delivery, built-in security, generalised mobility, and seamless
integration with computing environments as typical drivers. The proposed approach should go beyond fixing today's recognised limitations (e.g. ICN for
content networking). It should also be adapted to future applications such as sensor based applications. A key target will be to prove that the proposed
architecture does actually scale and makes possible a low cost migration strategy from existing IP networks. Comparative pilot experiments using virtualised
platforms are encouraged.
Expected impact:
•
Number of peer-reviewed scientific publications, patents, new PhDs, and new open source software releases. Key scientific publications like ACM
Sigcomm will be targeted;
•
Contributions to standards: IETF, IRTF may be targeted;
•
Creation of a Future Internet architecture network of European researchers and users of sustainable nature, i.e. beyond the availability of public
European research funds.
•
Links with International developments in the field, notably with the US NSF Future Internet Architecture programme follow up and with similar
programmes in Asia, notably Korea and Japan;
•
Migration strategies and roadmaps validated by key industrial players (operators/service providers) and the other stakeholders taking an active par in
the development of the internet.
Contribution towards at least one large scale validation trial.
Type of action:
Research & Innovation Actions (100% funding)

24. Optimizing the proposal
Start early – influence the call text
Have the core consortium ready early
Have experenced partners in the consortium
Supplementary partners; R&D, SMEs, Industry, etc.
Communicate with the project officer of EC
Meet face2face in the consortium
Use external help
The project should contribute to help EU reach it´s
goals and have impact on jobs, environment, health
etc.

25. Summary
The global outlook of R&D is evolving
For EU R&D is a solution to challenges
Horizon2020 is made for industry and public
sector – R&D actors needs to understand their
needs.
ICT is even bigger in H2020 than in FP7 with a
budget growth on app. 40%.
