Fact Pack v1

• UK-based individuals and organisations would remain eligible to bid for
funding, participate in and lead consortia including calls in 2019 and 2020
on the same basis as now
• If an agreement is reached, projects approved during this period will be
able to continue with an uninterrupted flow of EU funding
• But, ‘nothing is agreed until everything is agreed’
• Where do we stand if no-deal?
Withdrawal Agreement: Horizon 2020
“Following withdrawal from the Union, the UK will continue to
participate in the Union programmes financed by the MFF 2014-
2020 until their closure.”

UK Eligibility to participate in H2020 post Brexit (no deal)
• Free to participate as a non-EU country, a ‘third country’ across
most of H2020
• Can continue to coordinate projects and distribute EU funds
• Not automatically eligible for EU funding
• Unless essential for action
• Or provision made in workprogramme/call
• Some obligations under the GA will no longer apply
• UK not eligible for some actions:
• Monobeneficiary - ERC, MSCA
• Some Space and Security projects
• Some multi-beneficiary – FTI, SMEi
• For most ongoing projects and new projects, funding will be
replaced by the Treasury underwrite guarantee

• The UK Government has committed to underwrite Horizon 2020 funding for all successful
UK bids submitted before exit, even if they are notified of their success after exit, for the
lifetime of the projects
• UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) will also manage the independent assessment of UK
applications to ERC, MSCA and SMEi grants that have been submitted before Brexit, if they
are not assessed by the European Commission.
• This will support UK participants to continue to take part in Horizon 2020 projects in no deal
scenario, subject to continued eligibility.
Underwrite Guarantee and extension funding
• Guarantees EU Funding for UK researchers beyond the date
the UK leaves the EU
• Through the extension to the guarantee, the government has
committed to fund UK participants’ funding in all Horizon 2020
calls open to third country participants from the date of exit.
HMT Underwrite Guarantee

Current ongoing projects
• Project delivery should continue as per the grant agreement
• Participation as a third country entity
• UK coordinators will remain eligible to coordinate and manage EU
funds
• Funded by EU to end ‘January’ , UK underwrite thereafter
• If the project is only open to EU and Associated countries – the
grant may be terminated by the EU.
• If viable as a standalone project, the underwrite will still apply
• If non-viable – funding will be available to cover the costs
associated with project closure
• If the project has the minimum number of participants and UK
status means the project is ineligible – it may be terminated
• The underwrite will apply as above – viable/non-viable

New bids submitted before exit
• Proposals will be assessed by EU if the action is open to third
countries
• If successful, you will participate as a third country but with UK
funding from the start of the project
• However, if the project is only open to EU and Associated
countries - It may not be evaluated
• You will be able to re-submit to UKRI for independent assessment
• If successful, you will receive Government ‘in-flight’ funding for
the lifetime of the project
• The grant agreement will be with UKRI under standard UK T&Cs

Applying after exit
• Most calls will be open to third country participation – but check
with your NCP if necessary
• The project will continue to have an EU grant agreement but with
funding via UK extended underwrite
• But, UK not eligible for some actions:
• Some monobeneficiary – in ERC, MSCA
• Some Space and Security projects
• Some multi-beneficiary – EIC Accelerator (formerly SMEi)

Delivery of government funding
• The Treasury guarantee will be delivered by UK Research and
Innovation (UKRI)
• Grant holders who have registered on the UKRI portal will be
contacted to set out the steps to access guarantee funding
• UKRI will require evidence of your grant or grant offer, i.e.:
• Proof of grant
• Proof of grant amount
• Proof of any payments already received
• Any financial statements submitted since last payment
• Proof of project costs incurred since last payment
• Information on types of acceptable evidence is available on the
UKRI website
• Do NOT submit documents until requested by UKRI

Delivery of government funding – ‘onboarding’
• Once documents are submitted, your grant will be ‘onboarded’ to
existing UKRI grant management systems
• Je-S for academia, quarterly payments
• IFS for industry, payments on a claims basis, in arrears
• You will sign a contract with UKRI - in most cases this will be
alongside your existing EU grant agreement
• Guarantee payments will be in pounds Sterling (£)
• For ‘In-flight’ projects (those independently assessed by UKRI) –
there will be a single grant agreement with under UKRI T&Cs

What happens at exit – ‘EU side’?
(current ongoing projects)
• In theory, TBC…
• Amendment to project grant agreement
• Triggered by Commission
• Introduce article-9 (implementation of action tasks by beneficiaries
not receiving EU funding)
• Amend maximum project grant amount
• Interim/break report (technical & financial) to end of
October…
• Agree financial balance – payment or recovery from UK
participant
• UK partner still a signatory to the GA and bound by most
obligations
• Some projects that fail to maintain eligibility may be
terminated

Underwrite portal
• The portal is designed to ensure that UKRI has the information about
projects and participants in order to underwrite guarantee payments if
required.
• The website is for UK participants who are in receipt of Horizon 2020
funding (including EDCTP2, EMPIR, EIT-KICs). It is also for Euratom R&T

Next-generation batteries for stationary
energy storage
LC-BAT-8-2020

Specific Challenge
• Stationary applications such as utility grids and industrial sites require
storage applications that have the ability to combine high power
and heavy use, going through multiple deep cycles per day, with a long
lifetime and maximum safety.
• Future battery systems should have optimal sustainability throughout
the entire supply chain, including the substitution of critical raw
materials, second-life, and recycling.
• Current generation Li-ion batteries may not be the ultimate solution
for stationary storage. Interest in next-generation Li-ion and non-Li-ion
batteries (i.e. molten salt, metal-air, lithium-sulphur, sodium, flow
batteries, solid state, new ion-based systems) for these applications is
growing, but many fundamental and technological obstacles remain to be
overcome.
LC-BAT-8-2020: Next-generation batteries
for stationary energy storage

Scope:
• The objective is to develop and validate or demonstrate innovative next-
generation battery technologies for stationary energy storage that have a
low cost, high safety, high depth of discharge, and high cycle life
and efficiency. Development must include the integration of sensors
and/or battery management electronics in the cell, and the potential
for upscaling the battery systems. The battery systems should have
optimal sustainability throughout the entire supply chain, including the
substitution of critical raw materials. A key issue is the design of an efficient
production process with minimal environmental impacts across the
whole life-cycle, including recycling. Solutions must be validated or
demonstrated in a relevant environment. Since cost is the most important
driver for grid scale electricity storage, targets for key performance
indicators such as capital cost, storage cost and end-of-life cost should be
set. "Balance of plant" components should be included in cost estimates.

Expected Impact
Project results are expected to :
• Assure best possible performance and lifecycle for the next-
generation battery technologies for stationary energy storage at
lowest cost, in particular by putting the energy storage cost on
the path to fall below 0.05 €/kWh/cycle by 2030;
• Reduce the pressure on limited natural resources due to longer
battery lifespan, improved recyclability and the use of more
abundant and less harmful materials;
• Speeding up development and subsequent deployment of batteries
for energy storage applications.

Other information
• The activities are expected to bring the technology from TRL 3 to
TRL 5 (part G of the General Annexes).
• The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution
from the EU of between EUR 6 and 8 million would allow this
specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this
does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting
other amounts.
• Type of Action: Research and Innovation Action (RIA)

LC-BAT-9-2020: Hybridisation of battery
systems for stationary energy storage

Specific Challenge
• Advanced batteries are expected to play a major role in electricity grid
management in systems with a high share of renewable electricity.
• The need for simultaneously providing multiple services (e.g. artificial
inertia, frequency regulation, renewables balancing, load levelling, backup
power and longer-term energy storage) requires compromises between
power needs and energy needs.
• Hybrid battery systems can provide the ability to optimise power/energy
performances by the combination of different technologies. Such hybrid
systems would reach better business cases by mixing the contribution to
different services and/or products.
• This challenge is in line with the identified priorities in the context of the
SET-Plan.

Scope
• The objective is to develop and demonstrate optimised innovative battery
storage systems based on hybridisation.
• The resulting storage system can be engineered either by the twinning of
distinct systems, or internal hybridisation of cells and control systems.
• Focus should be on cell and stack design, on advanced battery
management systems and on high-level, hybrid storage control
systems.

Scope
• The hybrid storage systems may for example be optimised for
one or more of the following applications:
- Stand-alone provision of services to the interconnected pan-European
grid,
- Provision of services to island grids,
- Provision of services in weak distribution grids,
- Provision of services in private grids such as industrial parks,
- Provision of load levelling for EV charging service stations.

Expected Impact
• The project should contribute to increased competitiveness of
electrical energy storage by balancing power needs with energy
needs, providing a more efficient system with a longer and better
performing lifespan, and by optimising balance-of-plant and
installation costs.
• Project results should put the energy storage cost on the path to
fall below 0.05 €/kWh/cycle by 2030.

• The activities are expected to bring the technologies from TRL 4
to TRL 6 (part G of the General Annexes).
• The battery systems should have optimal sustainability
throughout the entire supply chain, including the substitution of
critical raw materials. The systems should be demonstrated in a
relevant environment and at a scale that allows future business
cases to be developed.
Other information

• The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution
from the EU of EUR 3 to 4 million would allow this specific
challenge to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not
preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other
amounts.
• Type of Action: Research and Innovation Action (RIA)

2018-2020
LC-BAT-11-2020

LC-BAT-11:
Reducing the cost of large batteries for waterborne transport
Challenge:
• Large battery packs are increasingly used to improve efficiency and to eliminate
emissions from waterborne transport.
• The cost of waterborne transport batteries is up to ten times higher than
an equivalent automotive battery.
• High cost is an important barrier to increasing the deployment of both hybrid
and fully battery electric shipping.
• Unlike other transport modes, space, weight and consequently battery power
density for waterborne transport is usually secondary to the systems total life
cycle cost.
• Causes of higher cost include; production processes, safety certification, fire
suppression, lower economies of scale and higher assembly costs.
• Challenge to substantially reduce the cost of large waterborne transport battery
systems and cells.

Address all bullets:
• Research and develop large (applicable to minimum 1MWh systems)
waterborne transport battery system and/or battery cells that are
substantially cheaper on a total cost basis.
• Trials and testing to prove technology and manufacturing processes.
• Address production efficiency & requirements for type approval from relevant
authorities, including risk based safety assessment.
• Develop a marine battery certification methodology with objective of:
validating and verifying safety (also considering cooling system), include test
method standardisation and tools to cut certification costs.
• Considering different vessel types, address battery system integration.
• Undertake cost benefit analysis, assess end of life strategies, develop
business case & potential finance models.
RIA: Suggested contribution EUR 8-12 million
Total topic budget EUR 20 million
LC-BAT-11:

Impact:
• Substantially reduce the lifetime cost of large waterborne battery
systems.
• Enhance the competitiveness of European industry within the waterborne
battery market.
• Cut greenhouse gas emissions from waterborne transport.
• Increase the European skills base in large battery technology and
manufacturing processes.
• Support European jobs and growth.
• Increase confidence in waterborne battery technology investment.
• Speed up the transition of most waterborne short range freight and
ferry services towards zero emissions.

www.innoenergy.com 7Annual Anniversary EU Battery Alliance
A great deal has happened since we launched the Alliance a year ago. Thanks to the EU industry taking a clear lead in
driving this initiative forward, with the support of InnoEnergy, we are making strong progress. Cross-border industrial
flagship projects or consortia are well underway, involving all segments of the value chain, and substantial investments are
being announced across Europe. Many Member States are joining forces with EU institutions. Our strategic partnership
with the European Investment Bank is bearing fruit. Back in May, we adopted the EU Strategic Action Plan for Batteries,
to make Europe a world leader in sustainable battery production and use, in the context of the circular economy.
From low belief in a European Battery Industry to widescale
activity in Industry, Member States and the Commission

Ref: Chemistry Council Sustainable Innovation for a Better Future: Our Strategy for delivering chemistry-fueled growth of the UK economy (2018)

Background to this activity
Battery manufacture relies on a supply chain that is largely chemical-based. Most of the current suppliers to the
global battery industry are not in UK
In order for the UK to attract and/or grow battery manufacturing, shorter chemical supply chains would be
required, potentially creating UK supply opportunities. So:
Ø What are the future battery chemicals needs?
Ø How big is the supply opportunity?
Ø Does the UK have the potential to develop a battery chemicals supply chain?
Chemicals IndustryAutomotive Industry

New Summary Report highlights UK chemical sector could
capture £4.8bn per annum from domestic auto battery
manufacturing supply chain by 2030
Report launched at Dinner Event
@ SCI, 29 April ’19

Report highlights UK chemical sector companies already
have strong positions in the global battery supply chain
• The world’s largest producer of specialty graphite cokes,
already (indirectly) supplying battery producers in Asia
• Europe’s largest automotive Li-ion battery electrolyte plant
• Europe’s second largest nickel refinery, already supplying
battery producers in Asia
• R&D and pilot manufacturing for one of the world’s leading
cathode materials suppliers
• One of Europe’s largest automotive lithium ion battery
production plants

Report highlights UK companies willing to add more value to raw
materials and fill gaps; £4.8bn/year supply opportunity in 2030

Hints and Tips: How to prepare a good proposal
7th November 2019
Helen Fairclough
EU Energy Focus
UK National Contact Point for H2020 Energy

Overview
• Introduction
• Understanding Horizon 2020 and the Call
• Developing a consortium
• Understanding the evaluation process
• Drafting the proposal
• Next steps

Role of a National Contact Point
• Promote Horizon 2020
• Provide support to organisations interested in the programme
• Answer questions on the procedures and rules
• Help with consortium development
• Review draft proposals
• Provide guidance during project delivery as required
• UK NCPs in attendance today - Energy, Transport,
Nanotechnologies, Advanced Materials, Biotechnology, &
Advanced Manufacturing and Processing (NMBP), Legal and
Financial

EU Energy Focus
• UK National Contact Point for H2020 Energy
• Funded by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial
Strategy (BEIS)
• Provide support for UK organisations on European energy
programmes
• Part of UK, European and global National Contact Point
network
http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/support/national_con
tact_points.html

Context
• Horizon 2020 is a very competitive programme – the success rate
for the first Next Generation Batteries Call was 22% (1 in 5).
• Preparing a proposal is a considerable undertaking, especially for
the coordinator.
• It is not possible to “fit” an idea into a Call – proposals must
address the Commission-defined priorities.
• All the Call topics covered today require collaboration – minimum
of three independent legal entities from different Member States or
Associated Countries.

Understanding Horizon 2020
Documents to refer to:
• Work Programme
• Rules for Proposal Submission and Evaluation
• Annotated Model Grant Agreement
• Proposal templates
• Proposal evaluation forms
Available from the Funding &
tender opportunities website
Also check
searchable
FAQ

Understanding the Call topic
The Work Programme specifies the Specific Challenge, Scope and
Expected Impact e.g. BAT-8.
NB – this is an
extract

Developing a consortium
Advertise your interest in coordinating/participating:
• Funding & tender opportunities website – topic specific
• Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN), Enterprise Europe Network
(EEN), Catapults
• National Contact Point network
• European platforms and trade associations
Approach potential coordinators/partners:
• Your own network
• Organisations that have been successful in Horizon 2020

Understanding the evaluation process
• The proposals are reviewed by independent evaluators.
• The guidance for all evaluators is published online – read it so you
know what evaluators are being instructed to look for.
• Each proposal section is scored out of 5 so maximum points are 15
(minimum threshold for consideration of funding is 10).
• For Innovation Actions, Impact is weighted 1.5 times when ranking
proposals.
• Evaluators reach consensus rather than averaging scores.
• If scores are tied, additional criteria apply – see published guidance
at link above.

Drafting the proposal
• Start early
• Review the proposal template
• Prepare a proposal summary covering all elements of the proposal
template – be clear what you want to achieve
• Regularly check your draft against the evaluation criteria –
Excellence, Impact, Implementation
• Ensure you are addressing Impact effectively (more on next slide)
• Use simple language, make information easy to find and use tables,
graphs and images

Addressing impact
• Describe how your proposal will provide the Expected Impacts set
out in the Work Programme
• Quantify your impacts
• Include a tailored draft dissemination and exploitation plan
• Weighting for this criterion for Innovation Action
• Do not leave drafting the Impact section until last

Next steps
• Read the Call documentation thoroughly
• Learn about funded projects
https://cordis.europa.eu/projects/home_en.html
• Prepare a proposal summary
