Annex 1 – point 1 – point 1.3 – paragraph 2
In accordance with Article 18 of Horizon 2020, dedicated measures as set out in the specific objective ‘Innovation in SMEs’ (dedicated SME instrument) shall be applied in the specific objective ‘Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies’ and Part III ‘Societal challenges’. This integrated approach is expected to lead to around 15 % of their total combined budgets goAt least 20% of the total combined budget for the specific objective on 'Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies' and the priority 'Societal challenges' shall be used withing tohe SMEs instrument.

Amendment 569 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – section 2 – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 4
Annex 1 – section 2 – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 4
The SME instrument will cover all fields of science, technology and innovation in a bottom-up approach with open calls (no predefined call topics) within a given societal challenge or enabling technology so as to leave sufficient room for all kinds of promising ideas, notably cross-sector and inter-disciplinary projects, to be funded.

Amendment 749 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – section 3 – point 3 – point 3.1 – point 3.1.2 – paragraph 1
Annex 1 – section 3 – point 3 – point 3.1 – point 3.1.2 – paragraph 1
A substantial share of energy is consumed for heating or cooling purposes across the Union and the development of cost- effec competitive and efficient technologies, system integration techniques e.g. network connectivity with standardised languages and services in this area would have a major impact in reducing energy demand. This requires research and demonstration of new systems and components for industrial, commercial as well as residential applications, for example in decentralised and district supply of hot water, space heating and cooling. This should encompass different technologies: solar thermal, geothermal, biomass, heat pumps, combined heat and power etc, and meet the requirements of near-zero energy buildings and districts. Further breakthroughs are needed, in particular, in thermal storage from renewable energy sources and to foster the development and deployment of efficient combinations of energy sources and technologies in hybrid heating and cooling systems, for centralised and de-centralised applications.
