It is the successor of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) which ended in 2013. In FP7 the focus was on technological research; in Horizon 2020, the focus is on innovation. Horizon 2020 is organized across three major pillars: 1) Support for "Excellent Science" – including grants for individual researchers from the European Research Council and Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowships (formerly known as Marie Curie fellowships) 2) Support for "Industrial Leadership" – including grants for small and medium-sized enterprises and indirect finance for companies through the European Investment Bank and other financial intermediaries 3) Support for research to tackle "Societal Challenges". During negotiations between the European Parliament and Council it was decided to support research towards meeting seven broad challenges Atmosfer TTO has experience with building consortiums, writing proposals, developing your budget. If you are interested in learning more about the program or need support matching calls to your research interests, please contact us. Horizon 2020 calls released through October 2015 are included here for your review. All information on the action, work programme and how to apply is available on the H2020 website and the Participant Portal.
