(5 a) Horizon Europe gives high importance to the links between inclusive societies, R&I and societal challenges. The gender dimension is crucial to design inclusive societies as well as to produce responsible R&I, and constitutes a societal challenge in itself as stated in the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Gender impact should be addressed in any social and industrial transformation. This requires ensuring that gender will be appropriately integrated in all the instruments of Horizon Europe, from pillars, misions, clusters or international cooperation, to open science and open data.

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. In addition, in order to more widely spread excellence, 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+).

1.2.6 a. Cancer Cancer accounts for a quarter of all deaths and is the number one cause of death for people aged 45-64 in an increasing number of Member States overtaking cardiovascular disease.In 2012 it was estimated that 14.1 million new cases were diagnosed worldwise and more than 8.2 million people died from cancer, making it one of the major health issues1a. In recognition of this development, global research efforts to fight cancer have been ongoing since the 1970's to turn this disease into a chronic, instead of a fatal one.This goal represents a formidable challenge for researchers and clinicians alike.Cancer is a complex disease caused by interactions of multiple factors, such as genetic predisposition, environmental and lifestyle influences, infectious agents and ageing.The past years have witnessed a dramatic progress in understanding the molecular mechanisms at work in the transformation of a normal cell into a cancer cell.Yet, knowledge is still far from complete and much remains to be discovered. Intensive collaboration among scientific, medical, technological and pharmaceutical communities is thus indispensable.Therefore, collaborative research on cancer has been a high priority in the EU framework programmes and remains a key priority in Horizon Europe. Broad Lines – Molecular Oncology with a focus on the study of some of the most active areas of research in cellular oncology, including DNA and chromosome stability, oncogenes and cell cycle kinases, DNA replication, mitosis, tumour suppressors, molecular mechanisms in melanoma, metabolism and cell signalling, and metastasis. – Structural Biology to use structural information to provide mechanistic understanding how proteins and macromolecular complexes related to cancer function at a molecular level and to use the new mechanistic insights to help guide future drug design. – Cancer Cell Biology to achieve a better understanding of the events leading to cancer development, progression and metastasis, and to discover molecular mechanisms that could provide a basis for novel therapies. – Genetics, genomics, pharmacogenetics, molecular cytogenetics and the environmental bases of human cancer. – Biotechnology namely Genomics, Proteomics, Monoclonal Antibodies, Histopathology, Flow Cytometry, Confocal Microscopy, Molecular Imaging and Transgenic Mice. – Experimental therapies and the application of early drug discovery phases in order to obtain advanced compounds ready for in vivo Proof of Concept studies. – Clinical Research to develop novel agents, to study the mechanisms of action of novel compounds and tackling drug resistance ;and to move forward in the field of biomarkers, functional taxonomy and precision medicine. – Pediatric cancer. _________________ 1a https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/health- professional/cancer-statistics/worldwide- cancer#heading-One

Cardiovascular disease - CVD Across Europe, both between and within countries, wealthier people live longer, healthier lives than poorest Europeans.There is a difference of at least 11 years between the lowest and the highest average life expectancy in EU countries.Cardiovascular disease is still the main cause of death in the EU, mainly in women.It costs 210 billion euro to the EU in annual costs of which, 102 billion euro are for diet-related CVD.CVD needs therefore a strong focus within Horizon Europe.Poor diet is a leading contributor to ill/health disease.Of all the risk factors related to behaviour that contribute to cardiovascular diseases, dietary factors are by far the largest.Dietary risks are responsible for 56% and 49% of all the years lost to cardiovascular death or disability in the European region and EU respectively.

2.2.3 a. Gender equality Gender equality is an EU policy priority and a key societal challenge (UN SDG5).Furthermore, the goal of gender equality in society is a crucial driver for the social and industrial transformations required by other SDGs.However, the EU Gender Equality Index, developed by the European Institute on Gender Equality (EIGE) based on EU policy priorities, showed in its last 2017 edition that the EU advancement towards gender-equal society is much too slow.Moreover, in some areas, the gender gaps are larger than ten years ago and all countries in the EU show considerable room for improvement.The unequal distribution of time to carry out care and domestic work has proven to be the most resistant domain to change.Its consequences also affect other domains (through the gender pay gap, glass ceiling, etc.). Specific gender research is therefore required to support the implementation and design of better EU gender equality policies (addressing both gender-specific and gender-mainstreaming policy approaches), in addition to bringing innovative solutions to attain main targets of UN SDG5. Broad Lines – Innovative solutions and instruments to prevent and eradicate all forms of gender- based violence and discrimination against women and girls worldwide, and the role of new technologies in relation to forms and demonstrations of gender-based violence; – Advanced strategies and tools to attain global empowerment of women and girls in all spheres of life, including the recognition and value of care work; – Evidence on how to accelerate progress and improve the impact of EU specific gender equality policies1a and enforceable legislation, including the identification of barriers, resistances, and best promising practices in the implementation of gender equality policies in Europe (e.g., for effective gender-training strategies); – The role of education in preventing and combating all forms of gender discrimination, as well as in promoting non-traditional careers (e.g., women in ICT, men in social work), through innovative pedagogical practices and inclusive educational contents; – Evidence on how gender equality accelerates progress across other EU sectoral (development) and horizontal policies (e.g., agriculture, energy, environment), including the identification of gender barriers to progress in these areas, with a view to facilitating better EU gender-mainstreaming policies in the design and implementation of those other EU policies, instruments and activities that have an effect on UN SDGs beyond gender equality; – Identification and anticipation of emerging gender gaps and needs related to present or future EU and global transformations, as well as how to better address them, including present and potential synergies among policies and instruments [SGSM2] ; – Interdisciplinary knowledge base on how (intersectional) gender inequalities are produced, maintained and challenged, as well as to develop innovative methods to fight against gender stereotypes, gender biases, and all forms of (horizontal and vertical) gender segregation related to the asymmetrical gendered division of labour, power, care and domestic work, etc. _________________ 1a Across the priorities underlying the domains of the Gender Equality Index (power, knowledge, work, health, time, money, gender-based violence and intersectional gender inequalities)

2.2.3 b. 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.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. Security research is 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).

Annex I – part III – paragraph 5
A new global wave of breakthrough innovation is coming up, one that will be based on more 'deep-tech' technologies such as block-chain, artificial intelligence, genomics and robotics, and other technologies, which may also emerge from individual innovators and communities of citizens. They have in common that they are taking shape at the intersection between different technologies, industry sectors, social innovation and scientific disciplines, offering radically new combinations of products, processes, services and business models, and have the potential to open up new markets worldwide. Additional sectors such as manufacturing, financial services, transport or energy will also be impacted.

Annex I – part III – point 1 – point 1.1 – point 1.1.2 – paragraph 1
Available private and corporate financing remains scarce between late stage of research and innovation activities and market take-up for high-risk breakthrough and market-creating innovations. In order to bridge the 'valley of death', in particular for 'deep tech' innovations that are key to Europe’s future growth, public support must develop a radically new approach. Where the market does not provide viable financial solutions, public support should provide for a specific risk- sharing mechanism, bearing more if not all of the initial risk of potential breakthrough market-creating innovations to attract alternate private investors in a second stage, as operations unfold and the risk is lowered.
