The Horizon 2020 programme is the largest and most ambitious research and innovation programme ever undertaken by the EU, which has committed to investing almost €80 billion in thousands of projects between 2014 and 2020. The Programme seeks to promote research and innovation and to boost the number of breakthroughs, discoveries and groundbreaking developments achieved in Europe, as well as to facilitate the process of taking this progress from the laboratory to the marketplace. As the means for driving economic growth and creating jobs in a bid to secure Europe's global competitiveness, Horizon 2020 is backed by Europe's leaders and members of the European Parliament. The critical role played by research sets it at the very heart of this programme's investments in the future of citizens of the EU.

In this research work, the author focuses on the analysis of the financial instrument of the Innovation Union — Horizon 2020. Horizon 2020 is the flagship initiative aimed at securing Europe’s global competitiveness. It will combine all research and innovation funding currently provided through the Framework Programmes for Research and Technical Development, the innovation related activities of the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme CIP and the European Institute of Innovation and Technology EIT. Horizon 2020 will tackle societal challenges by helping to bridge the gap between research and the market, by helping innovative enterprise to develop their technological breakthroughs into viable products with real commercial potential. This market-driven approach will include creating partnerships with the private sector and Member States to bring together the needed resources. The main objective of the paper is to give a comprehensive analysis of the Horizon 2020 programme as the flagship initiative for the growth of the European Union global competitiveness, the challenges for Horizon 2020 to accelerate technology development, the objectives of the new EU programme for research and innovation, the comparison of options and assessment of cost — effectiveness of Horizon 2020. Instrument finansowy Unii Innowacyjnej — Horyzont 2020W podjętej pracy badawczej autor przedstawia analizę instrumentu finansowego Unii Innowacyjnej — Horyzont 2020.

The University

The global competitiveness drive, pursuit for relevance, and search for true identity continues to challenge many African universities in their quest to achieve the delicate balance of preserving national indigenous repute and worldwide visibility. For decades, universities have occupied a centre stage in this balancing act through research productivity, evaluation, and impact. The benefits of university research and innovation are varied, persuasive, well-documented, and acknowledged as benchmarks for the visibility, sustenance, and relevance of any modern university. This chapter examines the research profile of the University of Namibia (UNAM) by looking at its current research productivity, visibility, and impact in the SADC region and beyond. Using bibliometric and altimetric analysis from Web of Science, Scopus, and SciVal databases, and the institutional repository, the chapter underscores the fragility but evolving UNAM's research performance output and highlights open access and research data management as keys to enhancing institutional research productivity and visibility.

Europe 2020

Horizon 2020 will be the financial instrument implementing the Innovation Union, a Europe 2020 flagship initiative aimed at securing Europe's global competitiveness. Planned to run from 2014 to 2020 with an €80 billion budget, the EU’s new Programme for research and innovation is part of the drive to create the conditions for new growth and jobs in Europe. It has been approved on 3rd December 2013, with many interesting new initiatives supporting the whole innovation process. Interlinking the new Horizon 2020 actions with the findings of the Dublin Open Innovation 2.0 conference findings and the Dublin Declaration for new European narrative for innovation we end up with very interesting new opportunities for all stakeholders in the innovation, including the societal dimension. In this short article I will elaborate some of the findings from Dublin Declaration and interlink those to the responses we see in the Horizon 2020 Programme.

High Road

The influence of globalization on international competitiveness is considered in the article. Two strategies of economic growth are pointed out: the low road, that is producing more at lower cost and lower wages, with increasingly intensive exploitation of labor and environment, and the high road, that is upgrading capabilities in order to produce better basing on knowledge. Restrictions for developing countries trying to reach global competitiveness are formulated. Special attention is paid to the concept of upgrading and opportunities of joining transnational value chains. The importance of learning and forming social and political institutions for successful upgrading of the economy is stressed.

Globalization remains the most common and quite controversial concept in modern social discourse. Within the theoretical and conceptual sociological dimension, the authors analyzed the essence of economic globalization (EG) as its defining type. They studied globalization as an objective process (first of all, the international division of labour) and the subjective process of forming a global capitalist economy under the auspices of leading Western countries, supranational financial and economic institutions (primarily the World Bank and the IMF), TNCs. As the main drivers of globalization, they determine its forms and directions in the interests of the "core" of global capitalism. Within the empirical sociological dimension of EG (which involves measuring the various manifestations of the EG process itself as well as its social consequences), the authors paid particular attention to the analysis of social changes in Ukrainian society. The capitalization of the Ukrainian economy, which took place in parallel with Ukraine’s entry into the global economic space, led to degradation of the national economy, significant deterioration of living standards of most citizens, creation of anti-social state with the systemic crisis as its main attribute. To prove these conclusions, the authors analyzed the dynamics of the principal macroeconomic and sociological indicators of Ukrainian society’s life for almost 30 years of drift to the roadside of the global capitalist world, based on the study of numerous domestic and foreign sources. The authors focused on the research of eight critical areas of social changes: deindustrialization of the economy, global competitiveness and innovation, GDP dynamics, employment, income and welfare of the population, socioeconomic inequality, debt dependence and degradation of Ukrainian science. The analysis shows the need to abandon the neoliberal paradigm of development and search for the alternative and more fair models of EG.
