January 2018
The European Union (EU) is one of the global leaders in Research, Innovation and
Science. In 2014 the EU announced the Horizon 2020 Programme - the biggest EU
Research and Innovation programme with nearly 80 billion EUR (i.e. about 650
billion RMB) of funding available over 7 years (2014-2020). Horizon 2020 is open
to broad international cooperation and especially encourages Chinese Research
and Innovation communities to be actively involved and to participate widely in
this new programme.
China is one of the EU’s key international partners in research and innovation.
The first EU-China Science and Technology (S&T) Cooperation Agreement was
signed in 1998 providing a political, legal and administrative framework for
coordinating and facilitating cooperative S&T activities between European legal
entities and international partners. Today, the Sino-European cooperation shows
growing dynamism. China and the EU cooperate in multilateral programmes and
projects involving many countries which are often designed to tackle major global
scientific challenges.
Moreover, the EU and Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST)
announced the EU-China Co-Funding Mechanism (CFM) for the Horizon 2020 in
2016. Under this scheme, 200 million RMB (28 million EUR) was made available
annually by MoST for China-based researchers and companies to participate in
EU Horizon 2020 programme. The CFM will continue for 2018-2020 period after
an agreement signed by the EU and MoST at the 3rd EU-China Innovation
Cooperation Dialogue in June 2017 (ICD-3) in Brussels. On the European side, the
European Commission (EC) planned to provide over 100 million Euros per year for
a total of 24 new topics to fund European entities in joint projects with Chinese
participants in the Horizon 2020 work programme for 2018-2020. Among these
topics, 11 are directly linked to the joint flagship initiatives agreed during the 3rd
EU-China Innovation Cooperation Dialogue.
This booklet (Second Edition) provides practical
guidance to Chinese researchers in order to explore the
manifold opportunities provided by the new EU
Framework Programme for Research and Innovation -
Horizon 2020.

1 Horizon 2020: the EU Research and Innovation Framework Programme
Horizon 2020 has been designed to deliver results that make a difference in
people’s lives. Built on three pillars/priorities– Excellent Science, Industrial
Leadership and Societal Challenges – it will fund all types of activities, from
frontier science to demonstration projects and close-to-market innovations.
Horizon 2020 brings all EU-level funding for Research and Innovation under one
umbrella, providing a single set of simplified rules and radically slashes red tape.
The overarching goal is to establish a more coherent and simpler programme
that is easier to participate, especially for academia, research organisations and
small- and medium-sized enterprises and businesses, from both European and
non-European countries.
The development of S&T cooperation between the EU and China is best reflected
in the growing numbers of participation of Chinese partners in cooperative
research projects funded by the EC’s 5th, 6th and the 7th Framework Programmes
(FP5, FP6, and FP7). China was the third largest non-European participating
country in FP7, after Russia and the US, with participation focusing on a variety
of sectors, including: Health, Environment, Transport, ICT, Food, Agriculture,
Fisheries and Biotechnology, Energy, and mobility of researchers.
Horizon 2020, like its predecessor FP7, is fully open to international participation
in all fields and areas. Chinese researchers, enterprises, research institutions and
universities will be able to team up with their European partners to participate in
projects under Horizon 2020 and make best use of Europe's excellent
opportunities in research and innovation. Through participation in Horizon 2020,
Chinese researchers can gain great benefits from access to excellent knowledge,
2
research data and connection to world-leading scientific networks and research
teams.
Until October 2017 Chinese entities have participated 255 times including 117
signed grants of collaborative, MSCA (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions) and ERC
actions in Horizon 2020, receiving 3.0 million euros of direct EU contribution
while 26.7 million euros is the non-EU budget of Chinese beneficiaries. Within
other actions that excluded projects under ERC, MSCA, SME Instrument and
Access to Risk Finance) of Horizon 2020, Chinese applicants are involved 795
times including 55 signed grants, receiving 2.9 million euros from EU while 26.7
million euros is the non-EU budget of Chinese beneficiaries.

2 International cooperation and great advantages to gain for Chinese
researchers
Horizon 2020 is open to the World. This means that participants from all over the
world, regardless of their place of establishment or residence, can participate in
most of the calls of Horizon 2020. In many cases, the EU will fund at least partly
the participation of international partners. International cooperation is a cross-
cutting priority of Horizon 2020 following the EU's strategy for international
cooperation in research and innovation.
In Horizon 2020, the EU has upgraded the status of emerging economies (BRIC
countries) including China, considering that they have established the critical
mass needed to cooperate with the EU on an equal foot. This means that within
the general openness of Horizon 2020, Chinese participants will now have to
provide their own funding, and only in exceptional cases will receive funding
from the EU. However, Chinese participants will be in a position to respond to
4
calls also as Principal Coordinator (leader) rather than, as it was in the past, only
as “participant”.
Chinese participation is welcomed in all Calls for Proposals of Horizon 2020. In
the 2016/2017 calls, the topics targeted cooperation with China in areas
including Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology, Water, Sustainable Urbanisation,
ICT, Space, Aviation, Energy, Health, Transport and Advanced Manufacturing. In
the 2018/2020 calls, there are 12 topics within the five EU-China STI Flagship
Areas (more information in later sections) as well as other interesting topics in
Energy, ICT, Climate, Health, Space, etc.
China has become one of the EU's key international partners in research and
innovation through the previous Framework Programme, FP7. For Horizon 2020,
the EU alongside the Chinese government, set up a Co-funding Mechanism (CFM),
available to support Chinese participants in their involvement in Horizon 2020
projects – more details can be found in Section 4 of this Booklet.
On June 2nd 2017, the 3rd EU-China Summit was held in Brussels and co-chaired
by Carlos Moedas, Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation of the EC,
and Wan Gang, China’s Minister of Science and Technology.
More than 60 delegates from Europe and China, including senior representatives
of government departments and scientific research institutions, and experts in
the field of innovation, attended the meeting. Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and
President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker met with the key
representatives attending the dialogue.
At the Summit, the Co-funding Mechanism for the period 2018-2020 (see link)
was renewed between the two parties to support collaborative research and
innovation projects under joint flagship Initiatives and other areas. During the
5
dialogue, the two sides exchanged their latest technological innovation policies,
shared good practices of EU-China innovation cooperation, and had an in-depth
exchange of views on issues such as scientific and technological innovation,
reform of the science and technology system, framework conditions of
innovation cooperation, IPR protection and flagship initiatives on research and
innovation cooperation. Both have also agreed on the principle of reciprocity
with regard to access to STI resources.
Surface Transport
These flagship initiatives were then translated into funding opportunities within
the 2018-2020 Work Programme, which were announced in October 2017.
The work programme 2018-2020 has been announced on October 27th 2017. The
European Commission, represented by Philippe Vialatte, Acting Head of Unit of
Research and Innovation, Laurent Bochereau, Minister Counsellor, Head of
Science, Technology and Environment Section, EU Delegation to China and
6
Mongolia and Diego Sammaritano, Policy Officer of Research and Innovation
Cooperation with China, presented Horizon 2020 cooperation opportunities with
China in Beijing.
The five tables below regarding the five EU-China STI Flagship Areas (including 11
topics) present the opportunities for cooperation under the work programme
2018-2020, which might be of special interest to Chinese researchers and
institutions and will be co-funded by the MoST, the Ministry of Industry and
Information Technology (MIIT) and the National Natural Science Foundation of
China (NSFC).

3 Understand the procedure of Horizon 2020
The EC publishes these online, on the so called “Participant Portal”. All the Calls
of the Horizon 2020 are available in this portal
(https://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/opportunities/h2
020/search/search_topics.html) and the applicant can search for calls from
previous programmes as well (FP7 and CIP). In addition, the applicant can find
information about some extra calls in the Other Funding Opportunities section
(https://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/opportunities/ot
her/index.html) which provides an overview of funding opportunities by funding
bodies other than the Commission and its Executive Agencies. From the
Participant Portal, it is also possible to search the most appropriate calls
according to key words and set filters in the calls list. This makes the search much
easier and way more automatic.
The National Contact Point is the main structure to provide guidance, practical
information and assistance on all aspects of participation in Horizon 2020 and can
also help the applicant to find the most suitable call. For China, the National
Contact Point is China-EU Science and Technology Cooperation Promotion Office
(CECO, http://www.cstec.org.cn/ceco/index.aspx).
Most of the EU funded projects are collaborative projects with at least three
organisations from different EU Member States or Associated countries. Horizon
2020 also aims to enhance EU international research cooperation so there are
14
more opportunities for cooperation with and participation by researchers from
non-EU countries, especially China.
Also for this, it is possible to rely on the National Contact Point (NCP).
If the applicant does not have an account yet, he or she needs to create it in the
website by clicking on the “REGISTER” option on the top menu on the right.
Once the applicant has found the right call and the right partners, the applicant
must submit a proposal before the deadline. The Participant Portal has clear
15
instructions to guide the applicant through the process. The system is simpler
than ever – no more paper! All proposals are submitted online.
Once the deadline has passed, all proposals are evaluated by a panel of
independent specialists in their fields. The panel checks each proposal against a
list of criteria to see if it should receive funding.
Once a proposal passes the evaluation stage (five months’ duration), applicants
are informed about the outcome. The EC then draws up a Grant Agreement with
each participant. The Grant Agreement confirms what research and innovation
activities will be undertaken, the project duration, budget, rates and costs, the
EC's contribution, all rights and obligations and more. The time limit for signing
the Grant Agreements is generally three months.

4 EU-China Co-Funding Mechanism for Horizon 2020
Since its launch in 2015, the CFM has played a significant role in supporting
bilateral win-win STI cooperation between China and EU. MoST has published the
first CFM call on December 16th 2015 and the 1st round of evaluation of the
proposals was completed in January 2017. By the end of 2017, in total there are
25 projects supported by CFM and 82 Chinese participating organisations.
For the period 2018-2020, EC and MoST has agreed to renew the CFM to further
promote the cooperation between the two parties. The CFM will continue to
pave the way for deepened cooperation between European and Chinese
research and innovation stakeholders by promoting a stronger and more
balanced Chinese participation in the Horizon 2020 topics targeting cooperation
with China.
Within the CFM, an annual budget of up to 200 million RMB (around 28 million
EUR) will be made available by the MoST to China-based entities that will
participate in joint projects with European partners under Horizon 2020 for the
period 2018-2020. The EC intends to reserve a budget of up to 100 Million Euro
in Horizon 2020 calls targeting cooperation with China for the benefit of Europe-
17
based entities under H2020 joint projects that cooperate with Chinese
participants.
The CFM will be primarily used for Horizon 2020 topics targeting China but it will
also be open to many other areas of Horizon 2020.
On behalf of MoST, the China Science and Technology Exchange Centre (CSTEC,
http://www.cstec.org.cn) manages the CFM operation (application, evaluation,
grant, etc.).
In principle, all Chinese legal organisations are eligible to apply for the co-funding
from CSTEC. But before submitting an application to CSTEC, the Horizon 2020
project that a Chinese organisation is involved should be already approved by the
EC. In other words, a Grant Agreement of Horizon 2020 with the EC is necessary
for the Chinese organisations to submit an application for the co-funding.
All the Chinese organisations involved in the same Horizon 2020 project
(approved) consortium should work together as a team (the applicant) to submit
the application to CSTEC. The applicant should submit two documents: Basic
information of the Proposal and the Proposal in Chinese (template in Annex)
through the S&T management information system of MoST
(http://program.most.gov.cn). CSTEC will review the two documents and invite
qualified applicants for an oral defense evaluated by an external group of experts
from the same sector (normally 15 minutes of presentation and 10 minutes for
Q&A).
The applicant should prepare a presentation including the key topics below:
- proposal concept
- contexts
- added-value of international cooperation
- objective
- technical roadmap
18
- tasks distribution and timeframe
- human resource of project team
- expected outputs and impacts
- risk analysis
- budget
CSTEC will evaluate and select the proposals for funding based on a number of
criteria pre-defined. The evaluation process will last for around 5 months and
then the results will be announced. As this is a new co-funding mechanism
between EU and China, the application and evaluation procedure may change in
the future. In any case, it is strongly encouraged for the applicant to consult
CSTEC before preparing the application.
On June 2nd 2017, the JRC and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) signed a
Research Framework Arrangement, with research focus in the following areas:
air quality, renewable energy, climate, environmental protection, digital
economy, regional innovation policy, smart specialisation and support to
evidence informed policies. The CAS also launched a special CAS-EU Partner
Programme. The programme will provide funding to CAS institutes and other CAS
entities that are partners of an approved Horizon 2020 project.
19
Potential Chinese participants are encouraged to contact relevant Chinese
organisations to seek support for their participation in Horizon 2020.
Q: How do I register?
A: Before being able to sign a grant agreement, you must register via the
beneficiary registration tool
(http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/organisations/reg
ister.html).
20
A: You must:
A: The Third industrialized countries (as well as those from China, Russia, India,
Brazil and Mexico under the H2020 rules) can participate in a Horizon 2020
project, but they are not automatically eligible for funding, with the following
exceptions:
- When the Commission deems participation of the entity essential for carrying
out the action funded through Horizon 2020.
A: Yes, Chinese entities may participate in Horizon 2020 actions as entities from
any emerging or industrialised third country not associated to H2020, given that
the minimum eligibility criteria of the research consortium are fulfilled.
Q: How can China be involved in Horizon 2020 projects where there is not a
specific mentioning for Chinese interaction in the Call text?
21
A: All calls for proposals under Horizon 2020 are open to Chinese participation,
not only the ones where China is mentioned in the text of the Call. Of course
minimum requirements (e.g. in terms of number of European partners when
appropriate) must be respected.
Q: If there is no more funding for Chinese entities available, what is then the
benefit for my institution to participate in Horizon 2020?
It provides Chinese entities the access to advanced knowledge, data and up-to-
date technology and allows an upgrade of the research quality of each partner in
the consortium. Horizon 2020 contributes to the internationalisation of the
Chinese partner institution and allows the establishment of new international
partnerships and networks.
A: All applicants who complete their expert profile are included in the database,
but this does not indicate that they will necessarily be contacted for an
assignment.
22
You will be contacted directly via email if you are selected to take part in any
particular activity. It is therefore important that the email address indicated in
your expert profile is current. The selection of experts depends on the needs of
the European Commission in relation to the subjects covered by proposals and
projects.
The European Commission takes all necessary steps in order to avoid any
conflicts of interest. While you may not evaluate your own proposal, or of
proposals competing with it, you may evaluate proposals which are not
competing with yours. The funding body will determine whether or not a conflict
of interest exists. Sometimes, the funding body may decide that you may not
take part in an evaluation; in this case, your contract will be terminated in
accordance with the relevant procedures.
23
therefore, could not recover from the European Commission any direct or
indirect costs incurring for the contract or project management nor retain part of
the grant for this purpose. We encourage Chinese research institutions willing to
participate in H2020 proposals to take contact with Chinese funding agencies for
seeking support for their project. See:
https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/horizon2020/en/horizon-2020-whats-it-china
A: A person from a third country (i.e. a country that is not a Member State or a
country associated to Horizon 2020) is welcome to register their profile in the
expert database with a view to assist the European Commission as an expert.
