There is no template for the letter of intent. Applicants are invited to upload the letters of intent in the e-submission system (SEP).

IMPORTANT REMINDER!
Applicants are reminded that the participation of any beneficiary in more than one proposal will lead to the exclusion of all the proposals from the evaluation, as they will be considered ineligible. The system does not detect that a given beneficiary is included in more than one proposal, and does therefore not give any warning.
Applicants are strongly advised to double check with their partners to ensure that they are not applying in more than one consortium.

Horizon 2020
Update: The European Commission has issued a call for expressions of interest from interested parties to participate as an expert in one of several Advisory Groups, covering all of the expected Areas of Horizon 2020. Interested groups or individuals should submit a proposal before 17:00 Brussels time on 6th March 2013. For guidance please contact ERDO.
Update: The European Commission has produced a useful presentation outlining the Horizon 2020 programme, including information on its rationale, structure, budget and timeline.
Update: The European Commission has published a summary of the timeline for the development of Horizon 2020, including an overview of the relevant legislative procedures.
‘Horizon 2020 – The Framework Programme for Research and Innovation’, will succeed Framework Programme 7 as the main financial instrument supporting European research and development.
Running from 2014 to 2020 with a proposed €80 billion budget (a 46% increase over FP7), the new programme is intended to form a key part of the overall drive to create new growth and jobs across Europe.
Aside from the increase in budget, Horizon 2020 intends to provide major simplifications through a unified set of rules. It will combine all of the research and innovation funding currently provided through the Framework Programmes for Research and Technical Development, the innovation related activities of the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme and the European Institute of Innovation and Technology.
The proposed support for research and innovation under Horizon 2020 aims to:
- Strengthen the EU’s position in science with a dedicated budget of € 24 598 million. This will provide a boost to top-level research in Europe, including an increase in funding of 77% for the very successful European Research Council.
- Strengthen industrial leadership in innovation € 17 938 million. This includes major investment in key technologies, greater access to capital and support for SMEs.
- Provide € 31 748 million to help address major societal concerns shared by all Europeans; such as climate change, developing sustainable transport and mobility, making renewable energy more affordable, ensuring food safety and security, or coping with the challenge of an ageing population.
The diagram below shows the currently proposed organisational structure for Horizon 2020, split between these three main areas (click to enlarge).
UCL's European Research and Development Office has remained engaged in discussions with the European Commission throughout drafting of Horizon 2020, on behalf of UCL. The programme is still under negotiation within the European Parliament and the Commission, however final agreement and approval of Horizon 2020 is expected in summer 2013. For further information about the programme please contact ERDO.
