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 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, use and accessibility of research infrastructures. It is crucial to support open access to research infrastructures in all Member States. It is 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 of innovative solutions.
Amendment 739 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – paragraph 5
Annex I – part II – paragraph 5
Research and innovation under this pillar of Horizon Europe is grouped into integrated clusters of activities. Rather than addressing sectors, the investments aim at systemic changes for our society and economy along a sustainability vector. These will only be achieved if all actors, both private and public, engage in co- designing and co-creating research and innovation; bringing together end-users, researchers, scientists, technologists, producers, innovators, businesses, industry, educators, citizens and civil society organisations. Therefore, none of the thematic clusters is intended for only one set of actors.

Amendment 1166 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 3 – point 3.2 – point 3.2.3 – paragraph 1
Annex I – part II – point 3 – point 3.2 – point 3.2.3 – paragraph 1
The EU is a global leader in advanced materials and associated processes, which make up 20% of its industry base and form the root of nearly all value chains through the transformation of raw materials. To remain competitive and meet citizens’ needs for sustainable, safe and advanced materials, the EU must improve the recyclability of materials, introduce new and adapt existing feedstock, reduce the carbon and environmental footprint, and drive cross-sectoral industrial innovation by supporting new applications in all industry sectors.

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 3 – point 3.2 – point 3.2.7 – paragraph 2
Annex I – part II – point 3 – point 3.2 – point 3.2.7 – paragraph 2
Primary raw materials will continue to play an important role in the circular economy and attention must be paid to their sustainable production and security of their supply. In addition, entirely new materials, products and processes should be designed for circularity. Building a circular industry will have several advantages for Europe: It will lead to a secure, sustainable and affordable supply of raw materials, which will in turn protect the industry against scarcity of resources and price volatility. It will also create new business opportunities and innovative, more efficient ways of producing.

The EU aims to be world leader in affordable, secure and sustainable energy technologies improving its competitiveness in global value chains and its position in growth markets. Diverse climatic, geographical, environmental and socio- economic conditions in the EU as well as the need to ensure energy security, supply of energy and access to raw materials (especially critical ones), dictate a broad portfolio of energy solutions, including of non-technical nature. As regards renewable energy technologies, costs need to decrease further, performance must improve, integration into the energy system must be improved and breakthrough technologies need to be developed and implemented. As regards fossil fuels, decarbonising theirand improving their efficiency of usage will be essential to meet the climate objectives.

Amendment 1393 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 4 – point 4.2 – point 4.2.3 – paragraph 1
Annex I – part II – point 4 – point 4.2 – point 4.2.3 – paragraph 1
The expected growth of variable electricity production and shift towards more electric heating, cooling, production of hydrogen and transport dictates the need for new approaches to manage energy grids. Next to decarbonisation, the goal is to ensure energy affordability, security and stability of supply, achieved through investments in innovative network infrastructure technologies, increased flexibility of dispatchable power generation and innovative system management. Energy storage in different forms will play a key role in providing services to the grid, also improving and reinforcing network capacities. Exploiting synergies between different networks (e.g. electricity grids, heating and cooling networks, gas networks, transport recharging and refuelling infrastructure, hydrogen, and telecom networks) and actors (e.g. industrial sites, data centres, self- producers) will be crucial for enabling the smart, integrated operation of the relevant infrastructures.

For the EU to reach its air quality, climate, and energy goals, including a 60% reduction in green-house gas emissions by 2050 as well as noise reduction, will require rethinking the whole mobility system including users, vehicles, fuels and infrastructures. It will also require the deployment of low-emission alternative energies and market uptake of zero- emission vehicles/vessels/aircrafts. In addition to the harmful effects of greenhouse gas emissions, transport contributes significantly to poor air quality and noise in Europe with negative consequences for the health of citizens18 . Building on progress with electrification and the use of fuel cell, hydrogen technologies, biofuels and biogas, the use of fuel cells, the improvement of combustion engines and their adaptation to renewable fuels and other sustainable powertrain technologies for cars, buses and light duty vehicles it is essential to accelerate research and innovation solutions for other sectors such as aviation, maritime and inland navigation and lorries. _________________ 18 Around one-third of EU citizens live in urban areas with concentration levels of pollutants above legal thresholds

The Pathfinder will be open to all types of high-potential innovators, from individuals to universities, research and technology organisations and companies, in particular startups and SMEs, and from single beneficiaries to multi-disciplinary consortia. In the case of single beneficiary projects, larger companies will not be permitted. Torder to ensure synergies and avoid duplications, the Pathfinder will be implemented in close coordination with other parts of Horizon Europe, in particular with the European Research Council (ERC), the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), and the Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) activities. The Pathfinder should also encourage the generation and growth of start-ups based on innovation supported by Horizon Europe. It will also be implemented in close coordination with Member States programmes and activities.
