The 2016 Science|Business Horizon 2020 Conference 1

Horizon 2020 Conference 4th Edition

Introduction
This year, 2016, marks a turning point for Horizon 2020, the world’s second largest
civilian research programme. After a strong start in 2014 with a funding rise and a surge
in applications, the €77 billion programme is beset with questions about its future:
Will its overall, annual budget be cut in this year’s EU funding review? Will it evolve
into a new, European Innovation Council? How can it deal with the continuing tide of
grant applications? What can applicants do to increase the odds of success? At the
conference, Horizon 2020 experts will deliver tips and advice to perform better.
The Science|Business Lecture 2016 by Dr. Nathan Myhrvold,

Founder & CEO, Intellectual Ventures
The Science|Business lecture honours long-standing servants of the global
innovation community. Hermann Hauser from Amadeus Capital Partners delivered
the first lecture in the European Parliament in 2013 speaking about ‘Getting
inventions to earn their keep’. Dr. Nathan Myhrvold will draw on his 14-year tenure
at Microsoft, where he helped spearhead many of the company’s most successful
products and founded Microsoft Research, and his leadership of Intellectual
Ventures, to reflect how Europe can regain the lead in innovation.
