Report on the assessment of the H2020 Lump Sum Pilot

15/10/2021

The European Commission published report on the assessment of the H2020 Lump Sum Pilot 2018 – 2020.

The European Commission launched the Horizon 2020 lump sum pilot three years ago, in 2018. This is a comprehensive test of lump sum funding for research and innovation projects. The pilot consists of 16 topics in the Horizon 2020 work programmes of 2018 - 2020. It covers all main types of grants, and grants of different sizes and complexity. To date, we received more than 1,500 proposals as part of the lump sum pilot and signed nearly 500 lump sum grants.

Overall, the test phase and feedback received show that lump sum approach works in practice and is fit for wider use in Horizon Europe.
