(8) The completion of the Digital Single Market and the growing opportunities from the convergence of digital and physical technologies requires a stepping up of investments. Horizon Europe will adequately contribute to these efforts with a substantial increase of spendinvesting in main digital research and innovation activities compared to the Research and Innovation Framework Programme Horizon 20206 . This should ensure that Europe remains at the forefront of global research and innovation in the digital field. _________________ 6 The Communication from the Commission "A new, modern Multiannual Financial Framework for a European Union that deliver efficiently on its priorities post-2020" identifies EUR 13 billion spent in main digital activities under the Research and Innovation Framework Programme Horizon 2020 (https://eur- lex.europa.eu/legal- content/en/ALL/?uri=CELEX%3A52018D C0098).

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 reinforce 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. To achieve that goal, attention should be paid to schemes facilitating the balance between family and work life, including adding more flexibility for researchers of both sexes to facilitate the reconciliation of work and family life. Guaranteeing full gender equality in all sectors including science, technology and innovation is an essential condition for global economic development. In addition, in order to ensure synergies and more widely spread excellence, the Seal of Excellence label will continue to be applied to calls under MSCA; the conditions under which researchers perform must be further improved throughout the European Research Area (ERA), including addressing the remuneration gap among researchers from different EU Members States involved in the EU R&I Framework Programmes’ projects. 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+).

Annex I – part I – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 1
State of the art research infrastructures provide key services to research and innovation communities, playing an essential role in extending the frontiers of knowledge. Supporting research infrastructures at the EU level , including small and medium-sized ones and particularly those financed from ERDF, helps to mitigate what in many cases is the reality of scattered national research infrastructures and pockets of scientific excellence, as well as tacklincreasing the low circulation of knowledge across silos.
Amendment 688 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part I – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 2
Annex I – part I – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 2
The overall aim is to endow Europeimprove Europe's endowment with world-class sustainable research infrastructures, including small and medium-sized ones, open and accessible to all researchers in Europe and beyond, which fully exploit their potential for scientific advance and innovation. Key objectives are to reduce the fragmentation of the research and innovation ecosystem, ensure continuous modernisation, avoiding duplication of effort, and better coordinate the development and use of research infrastructur, use and accessibility of research infrastructures as well as its better involvement in Horizon Europe’s projects, including research infrastructures founded by the EU, particularly from ERDF. This will provide clear synergies between Horizon Europe and conducted national and regional R&I strategies. It is also crucial to support open access to research infrastructures for all European researchers as well as, through the European Open Science Cloud (hereafter 'EOSC'), increased access to digital research resources, specifically tackling the currently sub-optimal embracement of open science and open data practises. Equally, the EU needs to tackle the rapid increase of global competition for talent by attracting third country researchers to work with European world-class research infrastructures. Increasing the competitiveness of European industry is also a major objective, supporting key technologies and services relevant for research infrastructures and their users, thus improving the conditions for supply and utilisation of innovative solutions.

Annex I – part I – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 3
Annex I – part I – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 3
Past framework programmes have made a significant contribution towards the more efficient and effective use of national infrastructures and towards the removal of barriers for use by all areas of European research through trans-national access, as well as developed with the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) a coherent and strategy-led approach to policy making on pan-European research infrastructures. This strategic approach has generated clear advantages, including reducing duplication of effort with more efficient overall use of resources, as well as standardising and harmonising processes and procedures. Creating new excellent R&I networks on the base of research infrastructures founded by the EU seems to be a natural challenge for Horizon Europe.

The establishment, operation and long-term sustainability of research infrastructures identified by ESFRI, including the ones identified by ESFRI as wel las maximising their involvement in excellent Horizon Europe’s projects is essential for the EU to ensure a leading position in frontier research, the creation and use of knowledge and the competitiveness of its industries.

The EU stands for a unique way of combining economic growth with social policies, with high levels of social inclusion, shared values embracing democracy, human rights, gender equality and the richness of diversity. This model is constantly evolving and needs to deal with the challenges from amongst other things, globalisation and technological change. Europe also has to respond to the challenges arising from persistent security threats. Terrorist attacks and radicalisation, as well as cyber-attacks and hybrid threats, raise major security concerns and put particular strain on societies.
