Description: Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme ever with nearly €80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020) – in addition to the private investment that this money will attract. It promises more breakthroughs, discoveries and world-firsts by taking great ideas from the lab to the market. Horizon 2020 is the financial instrument implementing the Innovation Union, a Europe 2020 flagship initiative aimed at securing Europe's global competitiveness. Seen as a means to drive economic growth and create jobs, Horizon 2020 has the political backing of Europe’s leaders and the Members of the European Parliament. They agreed that research is an investment in our future and so put it at the heart of the EU’s blueprint for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth and jobs. By coupling research and innovation, Horizon 2020 is helping to achieve this with its emphasis on excellent science, industrial leadership and tackling societal challenges. The goal is to ensure Europe produces world-class science, removes barriers to innovation and makes it easier for the public and private sectors to work together in delivering innovation. Horizon 2020 is open to everyone, with a simple structure that reduces red tape and time so participants can focus on what is really important. This approach makes sure new projects get off the ground quickly – and achieve results faster. The EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation will be complemented by further measures to complete and further develop the European Research Area. These measures will aim at breaking down barriers to create a genuine single market for knowledge, research and innovation.

Description: GreenWin, innovation accelerator in the environmental sector, is one of the 6 Walloon (Belgium) competitive clusters which aims to tackle major technological challenges. GreenWin supports innovation and promotes the development of collaborative R&D projects around 3 strategic axis which are sustainable chemistry (biobased chemistry, use of CO2, biotechnologies), sustainable materials in the building sector (energy storage, energy efficiency, production of materials and building systems), environmental technologies (waste & recycling management, water and air treatment, soil remediation, sludge recovery). Devoted to more efficient environmental technologies, GreenWin focuses its actions on improving the life cycle of products by saving inputs and energy, by recycling wastes and by using renewable resources. GreenWin brings together in a single network 185 members: about 145 companies, 140 university departments, 15 research centres and 6 training providers as well as organizations that promote the green economy. All members are driven by the opportunities offered by the pooling of skills and resources. GreenWin also acts at an international level, aiming at developing international collaborative R&D projects in Europe (France, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Portugal …) and in third countries such as Brazil and Canada. In this context, it seems obvious that Wallonia has to increase its collaborations with Flanders in order to set-up collaborative R&D projects between our own regional sme, group companies, universities and research centers. To reach this objective, one of the tools which can be used is the European fundings which encourage this type of R&D collaborations.
