Horizon Europe will provide the possibility for all types of beneficiaries to apply for funding in a faster manner in selected parts of the Programme. This approach will support research and innovation in all clusters, EIC and "spreading excellence and widening participation" part, covering actions from fundamental research to close to market. Building on the success of the existing Fast Track to Innovation instrument in Horizon 2020, this approach will have a bottom-up-driven logic on the basis of continuously open calls and time to grant not exceeding six months. In the “spreading excellence and widening participation” part, this approach will also support less developed performing Member States to access funds in a faster and bottom-up manner. At least 15% of the budget of the Programme shall be granted following a fast track logic. No more than five legal entities shall participate in any one action.

Amendment 70 #
Proposal for a decision
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 both, female and male, researchers 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 Member 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 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 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 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.

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 cells 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, road transport and tourism. _________________ 18 Around one-third of EU citizens live in urban areas with concentration levels of pollutants above legal thresholds

Legal entities need to be established in those EU Members States, which are ranked below 70% of the EU27 average of the composite indicator on Research Excellence implemented under Horizon 2020 in order to be eligible to submit proposals as coordinators under 'spreading excellence and widening participation’. The countries identified with this criterion are called 'eligible countries' in the context of 'spreading excellence and widening participation'. Reducing disparities in research and innovation performance by sharing knowledge and expertise across the EU and by widening participation in the Programme will help both countries and regions that are lagging behind in terms of research and innovation performance, including the EU outermost regions, to attain a competitive position in the global value chains and the Union to fully benefit from R&I potential of all Member States. Activities may also be established to foster brain circulation right across ERA and better exploitation of existing (and possibly jointly managed EU programmes) research infrastructures in the targeted countries through mobility and collaboration of researchers and innovators. and setting new R&I networks and initiatives on the base of those infrastructures.

European citizens, state institutions and the economy need to be protected from the continued threats of organised crime, including firearms trafficking, drug trafficking and trafficking in human beings. Strengthening protection and security through better border management is also key. Cybercrime is on the increase and related risks are diversifying as the economy and society digitalise. Europe needs to continue its effots to improve cybersecurity, digital privacy, personal data protection and combat the spread of false and harmful information in order to safeguard democratic and economic stability. Lastly, further efforts are required to limit the effects on lives and livelihoods of extreme weather events which are intensifying due to climate change, such as floods, storms or droughts leading to forest fires, land degradation and other natural disasters, e.g. earthquakes. Disasters, whether natural or man-made, can put at risk important societal functions, such as health, energy supply and government.deleted

2.2.6. Cybersecurity Malicious cyber activities not only threaten our economies but also the very functioning of our democracies, our freedoms and our values. Cyber threats are often criminal, motivated by profit, but they can also be political and strategic. Our future security and prosperity depend on improving our ability to protect the EU against cyber threats. The digital transformation requires improving cybersecurity substantially, to ensure the protection of the huge number of IoT devices expected to be connected to the internet, including those controlling power grids, cars and transport networks, hospitals, finances, public institutions, factories, homes. Europe must build resilience to cyber- attacks and create effective cyber deterrence. Broad Lines – Technologies across the digital value chain (from secure components to cryptography and self-healing software and networks); – Technologies to address current cybersecurity threats, anticipating future needs, and sustaining a competitive industry; – A European cybersecurity competence network and competence centre.deleted

2a. CLUSTER 'SECURE SOCIETY' Security research is a part of the wider comprehensive EU response to security threats. It contributes to the capability development process by enabling the future availability of technologies and applications to fill capability gaps identified by policy-makers and practitioners. Already, funding to research through the EU's framework programme has represented around 50% of total public funding for security research in the EU. Full use will be made of available instruments, including the European space programme (Galileo and EGNOS, Copernicus, Space Situational Awareness and Governmental Satellite Communications). Synergies are sought with the activities supported by EU-funded defence research and duplication of funding is avoided. Cross-border collaboration contributes to developing a European single security market and improving industrial performance, underpinning the EU's autonomy. It will also support the European Pillar of Social Rights, and the Global Compact for safe, orderly and regular migration. Security research responds to the commitment of the Rome Agenda to work towards "a safe and secure Europe", contributing to a genuine and effective Security Union. Synergies with the Justice Programme and with the Rights and Values Programme, which support activities in the area of access to justice, victims' rights, gender equality, non- discrimination, data protection and promotion of the European citizenship will be exploited. 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. European citizens, state institutions and the economy need to be protected from the continued threats of organised crime, including firearms trafficking, drug trafficking and trafficking in human beings. Strengthening protection and security through better border management is also key. Cybercrime is on the increase and related risks are diversifying as the economy and society digitalise. Europe needs to continue its efforts to improve cybersecurity, digital privacy, personal data protection and combat the spread of false and harmful information in order to safeguard democratic and economic stability. Lastly, further efforts are required to limit the effects on lives and livelihoods of extreme weather events which are intensifying due to climate change, such as floods, storms or droughts leading to forest fires, land degradation and other natural disasters, e.g. earthquakes. Disasters, whether natural or man-made, can put at risk important societal functions, such as health, energy supply and government. Disaster-Resilient Societies: Disasters arise from multiple sources, whether natural or man-made, including those from terrorist attacks, climate- related and other extreme events (including from sea level rises), from forest fires, heat waves, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic events, from water crises, from space weather events, from industrial and transport disasters, from CBRN events, as well as those from resulting cascading risks.
