"As a successor to the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), the Horizon 2020 programme looks set to build upon the successes of European research and innovation by creating a simpler and easier to access EU funding programme for 2014-2020. The three priorities of Horizon 2020 are to promote excellence in academic-based science, support industrial companies in innovative areas, and to improve research in areas of societal challenge, such as health, food and security. Representing one of the few areas where the UK gets more money than it puts in, I expect Horizon 2020 to constitute a vital source of income for world-leading universities such as Queen’s University Belfast and the University of Ulster. Newly simplified rules will result in increased diversity of research, opportunities for business and also a boost to the local economy. Moreover, widening the participation to regions with weaker structural research conditions looks set to benefit Northern Ireland, increasing the standard of less developed research sectors. Our ability to tackle problems of the present and future, such as disease, energy inefficiencies and infrastructure, relies on flourishing research and innovation. With Horizon 2020, I believe we have created an environment where such challenges are more likely to be met."@en1
