Annex I – part I – paragraph 4
European science and researcherresearchers and their scientific products have been and continue to be at the forefront in many areas. But this is not a position wethat can be taken for granted. There is ample evidence to show that as the pace of research continues to grow, so the number of countries competing to be the best is increasing as well. The traditional challenge from countries such as the United States is now being joined by economic giants such as China and Indi, India and South Korea, from the newly industrialising parts of the world in particular, and from all countries where governments recognise the manifold and abundant returns which derive from investing in research.

Annex I – part I – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 3
The ERC supports the bestalented researchers with flexible, long-term funding to pursue ground breaking, high-gain/high-risk research. It operates autonomously led by an independent, gender- and disclipline- balanced Scientific Council made up of scientists, engineers and scholars of the highest repute and appropriate expertise and diversity. The ERC is able to draw on a wider pool of talents and ideas than would be possible for any national scheme, reinforcing excellhigh quality research in all fields of science through the way in which the best researchers and the best ideas compete against each othernd co-operate for the progress of the whole human society.
Amendment 627 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part I – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 4
Annex I – part I – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 4
Frontier research funded by the ERC hasshould have a substantial direct impact in the form of advances at the frontiers of knowledge, opening the way to new and often unexpected scientific and, technological and societal results and new areas for research. In turn, this may generates radically new ideas which drive innovation and business inventiveness and tackle societal challenges. The ERC also has a significant structural impact, driving up the quality of the European research system over and above the researchers and actions it funds directly. ERC-funded actions and researchers set an inspirational target for frontier research in Europe, raising its profile and making it more attractive for the best researchers worldwide as a place to work, and work with. The prestige of hosting ERC grant- holders creates competition between Europe's universities and research organisations to offer the most attractive conditions for top researchers and can indirectly help them to assess their relative strengths and weaknesses and bring about reforms.

So there is clear evidence that the ERC attracts and funds excellent researchers through its calls and that the ERC actions are producing a substantial number of the most significant and high impact research findings worldwide in emerging areas leading to breakthroughs and major advances. The work of ERC grantees is also highly interdisciplinary and ERC grantees collaborate internationally and publish their results openly across all fields of research, including the social sciences and humanities. The work of ERC grantees is expected also to become increasingly interdisciplinary.
Amendment 630 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part I – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 7
Annex I – part I – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 7
There is also already evidence of the longer term impacts of ERC grants on careers, on training highly skilled postdocs and PhDrecognised researchers and doctoral degree holders, on raising the global visibility and prestige of European research and on national research systems through its strong benchmarking effect. This effect is particularly valuable in the EU's distributed excellence model because ERC funded status can replace and serve as a more accuratereliable and simpler indicator of research quality than recognition based on the status of institutionother currently used indicators. This allows ambitious individuals, institutions, regions and countries to seize the initiative and scale up the research profiles in which they are particularly strong.

Annex I – part I – point 1 – point 1.2 – point 1.2.1 – paragraph 1
Research funded by the ERC is expected to lead to advances at the frontier of knowledge, with scientific publications of the highest quality, to research results with high societal, environmental and economic potential impact and with the ERC setting a clear and inspirational target for frontier research across the EU, Europe and internationally. Aiming to make the EU a more attractive environment for the world's best scientists, the ERC will target a measurable improvement in the EU's share of the world's top 1 % most highly cited publications, and aim at a substantial increase in the number of excelhighly talented researchers from outside Europe which it funds. ERC funding shall be awarded in accordance with the following well- established principles. Scientific excellHigh quality research with the highest expected impact on the advancement of science shall be the sole criterion on which ERC grants are awarded.

Annex I – part I – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 2
Europe is a scientific powerhouse with around 1.8 million researchers working in thousands of universities, research centres and world-leading companies. However, it is estimated that the EU will need to train and employ at least one million new researchers by 2027 in order to achieve the targets beings set for increased investment in research and innovation. This need is particularly acute in the non-academic sector. The EU must reinforceboost its efforts to entice more young women and men to a career in research, to attract researchers from third countries, retain its own researchers and reintegrate European researchers working elsewhere back to Europe. In addition, in order to more widely spread excellence and participation in higly quality research and innovation programmes and activities, the conditions under which researchers perform must be further improved throughout the European Research Area (ERA). In this respect, stronger links are needed notably with the European Education Area (EEdA), the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), and European Social Fund (ESF+).

Trust in democracy and political institutions seems to be receding. Disenchantment with politics is increasingly articulated by anti- establishment and populist parties and, partly due to misbehaviour of political representatives and corruption phenomena. Disenchantment with politics is increasingly accompanied by a resurgent nativism. This is compounded by socio- economic inequalities, high migration flows and security concerns. Responding to present and future challenges requires new thinking on how democratic institutions at all levels must combat corruption and adapt in a context of greater diversity, global economic competition, rapid technological advancements and digitisation, with citizens' experience of democratic discourses and institutions being crucial.

Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.2 – point 5.2.4 – paragraph 1
Seas and oceans' natural capital and ecosystem services offer significant socio- economic and welfare benefits. This potential is at risk because of the severe pressure from human and natural stressors such as pollution, overfishing, climate change, sea-level rise and extreme weather events. To prevent seas and oceans from reaching a point of no return, it is necessary to strengthen our knowledge and understanding on ecosystem changes and response to anthropogenic and climate driven impacts, in order to sustainably manage, protect and restore marine and coastal ecosystems and prevent marine pollution, in a context of an improved and responsible ocean governance framework. This will also include research to sustainably unlock the vast and unexploited economic potential of seas and oceans aiming at producing more food without increasing pressures on them, and also contribute to alleviate pressure on land, freshwater and oceanmarine resources. There is a need for partnering approaches, including sea basin and macro-regional strategies, extending beyond the EU (e.g. in the Mediterranean, the Baltic, the Black Sea, the Atlantic, the Caribbean Sea and in the Indian Ocean); and for contributing to International Ocean Governance commitments, initiatives like the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and commitments linked to the conservation of marine biological diversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction.

The combined effects of population growth, resource scarcity and overexploitation, environmental degradation, climate change and migration create unprecedented challenges which require food system transformation (FOOD 2030).20 Current food production and consumption are largely unsustainable while we are confronted with the double burden of malnutrition, characterised by the coexistence of undernutrition and obesity. Future food systems need to deliver sufficient safe, healthy and quality food for all, underpinned by resource efficiency, sustainability (including the reduction of GHG emissions, pollution and waste production), linking land and sea, reducing food losses and waste, enhancing food production from the seas and oceans and encompassing the entire 'food value chain' from producers to consumers – and back again. This needs to go hand in hand with development of the food safety system of the future and the design, development and delivery of tools, technologies and digital solutions that provide significant benefits for consumers and improve the competitiveness, efficiency and sustainability of the food value chain. Furthermore, there is a need to foster behavioural changes in food consumption and production patterns as well as to engagebetter engage consumers, primary producers, industry (including SMEs), retailers, food service sectors, consumers, and public services. _________________ 20 SWD(2016) 319 final: European Research and Innovation for Food and Nutrition Security

Circular production and consumption systems will provide benefits to the European economsociety by reducing resource dependency and increasing the competitiveness of enterprises, and to European citizens bythus creating new job opportunities and reducing pressures on the environment and climate. Beyond industrial transformation, the transition to a low-emission, resource efficient and circular economy will also need a broader system shift that requires systemic eco- innovative solutions, new business models, markets and investments, enabling infrastructure, social innovation changes in consumer behaviour, and governance models stimulating multi- stakeholder collaboration to ensure that the intended system change achieves better economic, environmental and social outcomes22 . OWhere appropriate, opening for international cooperation willcan be important for comparability, generating and sharing knowledge and avoiding duplication of efforts, e.g. through international initiatives such as the International Resource Panel. _________________ 22 The activities in Circular Systems Area of Intervention are complementary to those of Low-Carbon and Clean Industry in the Digital and Industry cluster.

As the report of the High Level Group on maximising the impact of EU research and innovation (the Lamy High level Group) clearly states, the way forward is 'to educate for the future and invest in people who will make the change'. In particular, European universities are called to stimulate entrepreneurship, tear down disciplinary borders and institutionalise strong non-disciplinary academia-industry collaborations. According to recent surveys, access to talented people is by far the most important factor influencing the location choices of European founders of start-ups. Entrepreneurship educationducation to problem solving and training opportunities play a key role in cultivating future innovators and in developing the abilities of existing ones to grow their businesideas to greater levels of success. Access to entrepreneurial talent, together with access to professional services, capital and markets on the EU level, and bringclustering key innovation actors together around a common goal are key ingredients for nurturing an innovation ecosystem. There is a need to coordinate efforts across the EU.in order to create a critical mass of interconnected EU-wide entrepreneurial clusters and ecosystems,
