International cooperation in Horizon 2020 (1)
• International cooperation = key cross-cutting priority of Horizon 2020, in particular to:
Strengthen the Union's excellence, as well as its economic competitiveness
Tackle global societal challenges
Support the Union's external policies
• Basic approach provided by Horizon 2020 Regulation and Rules for Participation
• Strategy for international cooperation (COM(2012) 497): enhancing and focusing international cooperation activities (in terms of areas and partners)
International cooperation in Horizon 2020 (2)
Most importantly:
Horizon 2020 is open to participation from across the world!
Clear ambition to substantially increase participation of international partners!
How?
• General opening
• Targeted international cooperation actions across Horizon 2020
General opening
• Horizon 2020 is open to participation from across the world
• Automatic EU funding for their participation in R&I actions for:
EU Member States (including overseas departments and overseas territories)
Countries associated to Horizon 2020 ("Associated Countries", such as Israel, Moldova, Norway, Serbia, Turkey, [Switzerland], …)
exhaustive list of countries in annex to work programme [but: no longer BRIC + Mexico in this list!]
General opening
• For other countries (such as Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Japan, Mexico, Russia, United States,…), EU funding for their participation in R&I actions only in exceptional cases:
such funding is provided for in a bilateral scientific and technological cooperation or similar agreement
funding for entities established in these countries is included in the call text (e.g. "… entities established in Russia … will be eligible to receive funding…")
the Commission deems the participation of the entity essential for carrying out the project, for instance because it provides:
• outstanding competence / expertise
• access to (unique) research facilities / infrastructure
• access to a particular geographical environments
• access to (unique) data (sets)
Targeted actions
• Targeted international cooperation activities across Horizon 2020: area for cooperation and partner specified upfront
• Areas identified based on analysis of a set of criteria to ensure common interest and mutual benefit:
Research and innovation excellence
Framework conditions/access to markets
Contribution to international commitments
Frameworks to engage in cooperation and lessons learned
• Differentiation by countries/regions: enlargement/neighbourhood/EFTA, industrialised and emerging countries, developing countries
• International cooperation as part of strategic planning for each part of Horizon 2020
• Result: roadmaps for international cooperation with international partners

ERA-NET instrument
The "ERA-NET instrument" under Horizon 2020 supports public-public partnerships in their preparation, establishment of networking structures, design, implementation and coordination of joint activities as well as topping up of single joint calls and of actions of a transnational nature.
Typically, an ERA-Net brings together research-funding organisations that wish to implement a joint transnational call for research proposals (for which the EU can provide 'top-up' funding).
From 2004 to 2012, over €2 billion of public funding were spent by different programmes investing jointly in coordinated research across borders.
Funding organisations from "third countries" (such as Russia) can and do participate in ERA-Nets.
Ongoing ERA-NETs with Russian participation
• ERA.Net RUS Plus – strengthening STI links between Russia and the European Research Area: Ministry of Education & Science, RFBR, RFH, Ural and Far Eastern Branches of Russian Academy of Sciences. Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises (FASIE).
• ERA-IB 2 - the ERA-NET "Towards an ERA in Industrial Biotechnology" 2: Russian funding partners since 2011: FASIE.
• EuroTransBio – an ERA-NET in Biotechnology: Russian funding partner since 2012: FASIE.
• ASPERA 2 – an ERA-NET on Astroparticle Physics: Russian funding partner: RFBR.
• EUPHRESCO 2 - European Phytosanitary Research Coordination II: Russian partner: All-Russian Plant Quarantine Centre (FGU VNIIKR).
• M-era.Net - an ERA-NET in materials science and engineering: Russian funding partner: FASIE.
• BONUS - Baltic Sea Science – Network of Funding Agencies (Art. 185 initiative): RFBR participates in the BONUS calls on the basis of a Memorandum of Cooperation.

CO-FUNDING MECHANISMS: PROCEDURES
N.B. All Horizon 2020 calls are open to Russian participants.
The following slides describe the procedures whereby
funding for participation in Horizon 2020 projects may be
provided by Russian national funding bodies in those cases
where the Russian participant of a Horizon 2020 project
proposal requires and requests such funding support.
33
FUNDING SUPPORT FROM THE RUSSIAN MON:
PROCEDURE FOR COOPERATION IN HORIZON 2020 (1)
Step 1
•Among all of the announced topics in the Horizon 2020 programme, the MON selects the ones prioritized for the Russian Federation (i.e. those for which financial support to the Russian participants can in principle be provided)
Step 2
• For these selected topics, the EU posts information (e.g. on the H2020 Participant Portal) about the possibility for Russian research organisations to apply for funding in Russia (as a part of joint EU-Russia consortia)
Step 3
•While the EU coordinator submits a proposal to the EC under the Horizon 2020 call, the Russian partner(s) of the consortia submit(s) a corresponding proposal to the Russian funding body (e.g. the MON)
34
FUNDING SUPPORT FROM THE RUSSIAN MON:
PROCEDURE FOR COOPERATION IN HORIZON 2020 (2)
Step 4.1
• The European Commission carries out its standard evaluation procedure of all Horizon 2020 project proposals, including those with Russian participants.
Step 4.2
• The Russian funding party carries out its standard evaluation procedure of Russian proposals which are part of a submitted Horizon 2020 project proposal and which have been submitted to the given Russian funding body.
Step 5
• After the EC evaluation under Horizon 2020 and the national evaluation in Russia, both sides exchange information about the evaluation results, including the list of proposals (with Russian participation) which may be funded.
35
FUNDING SUPPORT FROM THE RUSSIAN MON:
PROCEDURE FOR COOPERATION IN HORIZON 2020 (3)
Step 6
• Where the EU and Russian national evaluations overlap, the Horizon 2020 project and its Russian part will be funded by, respectively, the European Commission and the Russian funding body according to their funding rules.
Step 7
•The Russian participant of a H2020 project will sign the EU Grant Agreement as well as a separate agreement with the Russian funding body. Russian participants without EU funding are exempt from financial reporting to the EU (Article 9 of the EU Grant Agreement), but will have to submit a regular financial & scientific report to the Russian funding body.
Step 8•Where the EU and Russian national evaluation evaluations do not overlap,
alternative arrangements will have to be found by the project partners.
36
MON is ready to support the selected projects already in 2015
