WHAT IS HORIZON 2020?

Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme everwith nearly EUR 80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to2020) – in addition to the private investment that this money will attract.It promises more breakthroughs, discoveries and world‐firsts by takinggreat ideas from the lab to the market.

HORIZON 2020 IS OPEN TO EVERYONE

… with a simple structure that reduces red tape and time so participantscan focus on what is really important. This approach makes sure newprojects get off the ground quickly – and achieve results faster.

The Societal Challenge 5 Work Programme for 2018‐2020focuses on moving to a greener, more resource efficient andclimate‐resilient economy in sync with the natural environment,demonstrating a strong commitment to supporting the UN'sSustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the targets of theCOP21 Paris Agreement.


This Work Programme focuses on six priorities:

1. Climate action in support of the Paris Agreement2. Circular economy 3. Raw materials 4. Water for our environment, economy and society 5. Innovating cities for sustainability and resilience 6. Protecting and leveraging the value of our natural and

cultural assets (Earth observation, nature‐based solutions, disaster risk reduction and natural capital accounting, and heritage alive).


Raw materials are crucial for a strong European industrial base,an essential building block of the EU's growth andcompetitiveness,

R&I for sustainable access to and use of primary and secondaryraw materials will continue to play a fundamental role inmaintaining the competitiveness of industry, facilitating thetransition to a circular economy and developing low carbontechnologies.


However, the EU is confronted with a number of challengesalong the entire raw materials value chain to secure asustainable access to non‐energy non‐agricultural raw materialsused for industrial purposes, including an increasing number ofCritical Raw Materials (CRM)


The actions on raw materials are expected to contribute to theimplementation of the Raw Materials policy, the StrategicImplementation Plan of the European Innovation Partnership(EIP) on Raw Materials, the Circular Economy package and theBlue Growth Strategy.
