<p class="MsoNormal">Dear All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The European Commission has just launched the Work Programme for 2016-17 under Horizon 2020, with a budget of around €16bn. &nbsp;&nbsp;As in the past, topics eligible in the programmes in Pillar 1 of Horizon 2020 are all-inclusive and bottom-up
 in nature; Pillars 2 and 3 retain top-down programmes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Work Programme can be viewed at: <a href="http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/funding/reference_docs.html#h2020-work-programmes-2016-17">
http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/funding/reference_docs.html#h2020-work-programmes-2016-17</a>, with an information sheet issued by the Commission at:
<a href="http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_MEMO-15-5832_en.htm">http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_MEMO-15-5832_en.htm</a>.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please could you arrange forwarding to those among your staff who may be interested in applying for funding under Horizon 2020 in this period?&nbsp; For assistance with applications, staff should not hesitate to contact either myself, or my
 colleague Dr Alan Duncan (<a href="mailto:alan.duncan@strath.ac.uk">alan.duncan@strath.ac.uk</a>).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As with the previous Work Programme, we will produce and circulate an A4 chart of the various programmes and deadlines across the period of funding.&nbsp; Information and links to the programmes are available on the RKES portal.&nbsp; Seminars and
 workshops on Horizon 2020 and its programmes will continue to be arranged on a regular basis through OSDU.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
