UPDATE concerning stage 1 (project outline – PO – stage) of Calls ECSEL-2020-1-IA and ECSEL-2020-2-RIA (deadline 05 May 2020 17h00 CET/Brussels time). 
Due to the challenging circumstances related to COVID-19 pandemic, the Governing Board and the Public Authorities Board of ECSEL JU  have jointly decided on measures to minimize the impact on the stage 1 (PO stage) of the ECSEL IA and RIA calls 2020. Consequently, the evaluation of the proposals submitted to stage 1 will be performed without thresholds - the thresholds are set to zero (both for the individual criteria and the overall threshold). The evaluation process will be conducted by experts applying the usual procedures with the exception that there will be no thresholds. Therefore, there will be no selection (no proposal rejected) due to the thresholds at the stage 1. However, ALL the eligibility and admissibility requirements remain unchanged as described in the ECSEL JU Work Plan 2020. The purpose of this exceptional measure is solely to mitigate the lockdown side effects for applicants who have restricted/no access to information/data necessary to prepare the proposals, while ensuring a minimum disruption in the overall calls workflow.

The ECSEL JU Work Plan 2020 has been updated (v11 20 04 2020):

grant Background

About the Funding Agency

Horizon 2020 - is a Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development, and is created by the European Union in order to support and encourage research in the European Research Area (ERA). This is the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme ever with nearly €80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020). By coupling research and innovation, Horizon 2020 is helping to achieve this with its emphasis on excellent science, industrial leadership and tackling societal challenges. The goal is to ensure Europe produces world-class science, removes barriers to innovation and makes it easier for the public and private sectors to work together in delivering innovation. The Horizon 2020 programme running from 2014 to 2020 has a €79 billion budget (a 46% increase over FP7).

It is structured around three core pillars:

  • Excellent Science (~€24.4bn)
  • Industrial Leadership (~€17bn)
  • Societal Challenges (~€29.7bn)

Type of projects: mostly grants, no supplies, no works.
