News archive - Simplification: the new main word in Horizon 2020

In the end of this year, the Seventh Framework Programme will reach its end and in 2014 we will open the door to Horizon 2020. 

According to the European Commission, this new Framework Programme “represents a radically new and comprehensive approach to the EU's research and innovation funding policies.”

Horizon 2020 will be implemented by a set of new Rules for Participation and Dissemination, which have been updated with the aim in particular to ensure simplification for the benefit of all those who will participate in this programme. An important dimension of the simplification concerns the fact that in Horizon 2020 participants will only have to work with a single main set of rules, including those on intellectual property rights, which apply to all components of Horizon 2020.
