    The amount for activities under Title XIX TFEU shall be distributed among the priorities set out in Article 5(2) of this Regulation as follows:

    (a)

    Excellent science, EUR 24 232,1 million in current prices;

    (b)

    Industrial leadership, EUR 16 466,5 million in current prices;

    (c)

    Societal challenges, EUR 28 629,6 million in current prices.

    The maximum overall amount for the Union financial contribution from Horizon 2020 to the specific objectives set out in Article 5(3) and to the non-nuclear direct actions of the JRC shall be as follows:

    1. (i)

      Spreading excellence and widening participation, EUR 816,5 million in current prices;

    2. (ii)

    ‘ANNEX II

    Breakdown of the budget

    The indicative breakdown for Horizon 2020 is as follows, subject to the annual budgetary procedure:

    Including EUR 7 423 million for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) of which EUR 1 549 million for photonics and micro-and nanoelectronics, EUR 3 741 million for nanotechnologies, advanced materials and advanced manufacturing and processing, EUR 501 million for biotechnology and EUR 1 403 million for space. As a result, EUR 5 792 million will be available to support Key Enabling Technologies.

    Around EUR 994 million of this amount may go towards the implementation of Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan) projects. Around one third of this may go to SMEs.

    Within the target of allocating a minimum of 20 % of the total combined budgets for the specific objective “Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies” and the priority “Societal challenges” for SMEs, a minimum of 5 % of those combined budgets will be initially allocated to the dedicated SME instrument. A minimum of 7 % of the total budgets of the specific objective “Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies” and the priority “Societal challenges” will be allocated to the dedicated SME instrument averaged over the duration of Horizon 2020.

    The Fast Track to Innovation (FTI) pilot actions will be funded from the specific objective “Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies” and from the relevant specific objectives of the priority “Societal challenges”. A sufficient number of projects will be launched in order to allow a full evaluation of the FTI pilot.
