1. Lobby in the EU
Lobbying in the EU means that an organisation, company or an individual is trying to influence the
decisions of politicians or officials in the EU institutions in a particular direction. In Brussels, the
Capital Region Denmark EU Office (creoDK) represents its partners: University of Copenhagen
(KU), the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Copenhagen Business School (CBS) and the
Capital Region of Denmark. creoDK engages with EU decision-makers and seeks influence on EU
research policy. The purpose of creoDK is to promote good research ideas – knowing the timing of
the decision making process, contacts and stakeholders.
In an EU lobby context, it often pays to be proactive. creoDK aims at facilitating the most favorable
conditions for our scientists to participate more effectively in EU funding programmes by seeking
influence on the phrasing and the priorities of the biannual Work Programmes, prepared by the
European Commission within the framework of Horizon 2020 – EU’s Research and Innovation
programme. Furthermore, creoDK aims at bringing forward hitherto neglected research topics to
the EU research agenda.
This roadmap provides an overview of contacts, initiatives and stakeholders that may be useful
when promoting specific interests within the Health-related research area in Horizon 2020. For
more information on timing, please refer to the indicative timeline for development of Work
Programme 2018-2019. You are always welcome to contact creoDK for further questions:

2. Contacts
Members of the Danish reference group (referencegruppe) for Societal
Challenge 1: Health, Demographic Change and Wellbeing
The Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation - DASTI (Styrelsen for Forskning og
Innovation) has established reference groups corresponding to nine thematic sections of Horizon
2020. The purpose of the reference groups is to provide DASTI with greater insight into the
strengths and potentials of Danish research and thus create the foundation for the Danish priorities
in the Work Programmes within Horizon 2020. The reference groups play an important role in
preparing the Danish contribution to the new work programmes as they form the scientific base for
DASTI’s input to the negotiations with the European Commission. The reference group must
represent the joined Danish interests within the section concerned.
The table below lists the members of the reference groups for the Health-challenge. The ICT
reference group is consulted on those parts of the health challenge concerned with welfare
technology (eHealth).

Danish representatives of Programme Committees, experts, and National
Contact Points for the Health challenge
The European Commission has established Programme Committees with representatives from all
EU Member States and associated states matching 14 thematic sections of Horizon 2020. The
Programme Committees assist the European Commission in drawing and quality assuring the
work programmes, and the Programme Committees make the final adoption of the Work
Programmes before they are published.
Furthermore, the Programme Committees are continually informed about the implementation of
Horizon 2020 within the given section. Denmark has appointed a delegation for each of the
Programme Committees, which typically consists of representatives from DASTI (Styrelsen for
Forskning og Innovation), an academic expert, and a representative from the Ministry responsible
for the thematic section. The Danish members of the programme committee focusing on the Biochallenge can be found below; the other Danish members of the Programmes Committees can be
found at the Ministry of Higher Education and Science’s webpage.

Advisory Groups
In addition to the Danish reference groups and the Programme Committees, the European
Commission has also established Advisory Groups (AG) matching 18 thematic sections of Horizon
2020. AG members provide inputs to the focus areas within the two-year Strategic Programmes
and Scoping papers prior to the drafting of the biannual Work Programmes. The members of the
AG are appointed in their personal capacity and do not represent an institution or a
country/Member State. Inputs from the AG’s complements inputs from for example ETP’s. There is
one Danish member of the AG for "Health, demographic, change and welbeing". Other Danish AG
members can be found at the Ministry of Higher Education and Science’s webpage.

3. EU initiatives and stakeholders
European Technology Platforms
The European Technology Platforms (ETPs) are good fora to participate in, since they are an
opportunity to acquire new knowledge, expand ones network, and influence the Work
Programmes. The ETPs are industry-led and bring together stakeholders within a research area to
deliver on agreed priorities and definitions as well as develop and implement a Strategy Research
Agenda (SRA) with long term perspectives. The European Commission fetches inputs to the EU
research policy from these platforms when necessary. The ETPs are independent entities and thus
not owned by the European Commission. The ETPs relevant for the Health challenge are listed
below:
-
Nanomedicine ETP
Photonics 21
European technology platform on smart systems integration (EPoSS)
Net!Works (Communication networks and services)
Public Private Partnership – Joint Technology Initiatives
Joint Technology Initiatives (JTIs) aims at strengthen the implementation and fulfilment of the
SRAs of a limited number of selected ETPs. The JTIs have their own work programmes with open
calls for proposals, and they are funded by the European Commission and the industry.
Within the Health research area the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) is relevant. IMI was
established under FP7 and is expected to continue in a revised form under Horizon 2020. The
budget for IMI is 3,276 billion euro (2014-2024) of which the one half comes from Horizon 2020
Health challenge and the other half comes from EFPIA (European Federation of Pharmaceutical
Industries and Association.
IMI focus areas:




Develop the next generations vaccines, medicine and treatment
Quick roll-out of effective and sustainable health care
Make use of public and private research investment to reduce investment barriers
Support the global competitiveness for Europe’s medical industry
Read more about IMI at: http://imi.europa.eu
Information about JTI’s: http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/jtis/home_en.html
Public-public partnership
Furthermore, the health challenge is implemented through public partnerships (article 185
initiatives) which are financed by Horizon 2020 and the Member States. Article 185 initiatives give
opportunity for the EU research framework programme to support and co-finance common
research programmes established in co-opereation between EU Member States that collaborate
on defining the research agenda, establish and finance the programme in question.
Article 185 initiatives financed by the Horizon 2020 Health Challenge:
European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP).
Ambient Assisted Living Joint Programme (AAL).

European Innovation Partnership (EIP)
The European Innovation Partnerships (EIPs) are a relatively new initiative launched in the context
of the Innovation Union. The partnerships are challenge-driven and bring together all relevant
private and public actors from research- and innovations environments at both EU, national and
regional levels to degrade barriers and improve the conditions for development and growth. The
EIPs outline strategic implementation plans, which is also included in the process of drawing the
Work Programmes.
The EIPs relevant for the Health challenge is:
-
EIP Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP AHA)
