This document summarizes Horizon 2020 funding opportunities for ICT projects in 2016-2017. There are three main actions - Innovation, Research & Innovation, and Coordination & Support. Funding is available for industry and academic consortia through grants of up to 70-100% of eligible costs. Priority topics include excellent science, leadership in enabling technologies, and social challenges. Specific subtopics are listed in each of these areas, focusing on technologies like computing, internet, electronics, and applications in areas such as transport, energy, environment, health, and security.

Research &
Innovation
ICTICT THREE MAIN ACTIONS
1 1 1Innovation
Grant: up to 70 % of
eligible costs
(except for non-profit legal
entities, where a rate of 100 %
applies)
Consortia: industry
and academia, from at
least 3 different EU
countries or associated
partners
Funding: more
focused on closer-to-
the-market activities.
E.g. prototyping, testing,
demonstrating, piloting,
scaling-up etc. if producing
new or improved products or
services.
Grant: up to 100 % of
eligible costs
Funding: research
projects tackling clearly
defined challenges, that
lead to the development
of new knowledge,
technology, products,
services or solutions. May
be included related to the main topic,
but limited demonstration or pilot
activities
Consortia: industry &
academia, from at least 3
different EU countries or
associated partners
Grant: up to 100 %
Consortia; single
entities or consortia of
partners from different
countries, industry and
academia.
Funding: research &
innovation per se is
covered elsewhere
(standards, result
dissemination, awareness
campaign,
communication, research
and experience
exchange)
4. HORIZON 2020 – Excellent Science - topics
European Research Council
Cutting-edge research on the best scientific teams
Future and Emergency Technologies
Provides a unique combination of high-risk, long-term,
multidisciplinary and collaborative, research with the structuring
of more mature ideas and communities. It involves fostering
radically new technologies by exploring novel and high-risk ideas.
Marie Sklodowska-Curie actions
Offer excellence career development opportunities in academic and
non-academic sectors to attract and retain high potential individuals
in Europe. The focus us on emerging talent, building skills for long
term careers and offering attractive working and employment
conditions.
European research infrastructure (including e-infrastructure)
Providing access to research infrastructure at world level
