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 worldwide and more than 8.2 million people died from cancer, making it one of the major health issues. 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. - Paediatric cancer.

1.2.6 b. Cardiovascular disease - CVD Across Europe, both between and within countries, wealthier people live longer, healthier lives than poorest Europeans do. 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.

Amendment 172 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 1

The EU stands for a unique way of ~~combining economic growth~~sustainable development 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~~risks and threats. The observed changes in climate are already having wide-ranging impacts on ecosystems, societies, human health and well-being in Europe. Terrorist attacks and radicalisation, as well as cyber- attacks and hybrid threats, also raise major security concerns and put particular strain on societies.

Amendment 173 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 2

The EU must promote a model of inclusive and sustainable ~~growth~~development while reaping the benefits of technological advancements, enhancing trust in and promoting innovation of democratic governance, combatting inequalities, unemployment, marginalisation, discrimination and radicalisation, guaranteeing human rights, fostering cultural diversity and European cultural heritage and empowering citizens through social innovation. The management of migration and the integration of migrants will also continue to be priority issues. The role of research and innovation in the social sciences and the humanities in responding to these challenges and achieving the EU’s goals is fundamental.

Amendment 174 #

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 actively 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.

Amendment 189 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 4 – point 4.1 – paragraph 6

Transport ensures the mobility of people and goods necessary for an integrated European single market, territorial cohesion and an open and inclusive society. At the same time, transport has significant negative effects on human health, congestion, land, air quality and noise, as well as safety resulting in numerous premature deaths and increased socio-economic costs. Therefore, sustainable mobility and transport networks need to become clean, safe, smart, secure, silent, reliable and affordable, offering a seamless integrated door-to-door service.

Amendment 217 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.2 – point 5.2.5 – paragraph 1

The combined effects of population growth, resource scarcity and overexploitation, environmental degradation, climate change and migration create unprecedented challenges which require food system transformation (FOOD 2030).20 Current food production and consumption are largely unsustainable while we are confronted with the double burden of malnutrition, characterised by the coexistence of undernutrition and obesity. Future food systems need to deliver sufficient safe, healthy, affordable and quality food for all, underpinned by resource efficiency, sustainability (including the reduction of GHG emissions, pollution and waste production), linking land and sea, reducing food waste, enhancing food production from the seas and oceans and encompassing the entire 'food value chain' from producers to consumers – and back again. This needs to go hand in hand with development of the food safety system of the future and the design, development and delivery of tools, technologies and digital solutions that provide significant benefits for producers and consumers and improve the competitiveness and sustainability of the food value chain. Furthermore, there is a need to foster behavioural changes in food consumption and production patterns towards nutritious and healthy diets as well as to engage primary producers, industry (including SMEs), retailers, food service sectors, consumers, and public services. _________________ 20 SWD(2016) 319 final: European Research and Innovation for Food and Nutrition Security

Annex I – part III – point 1 a (new)

1a. SME INSTRUMENTFOR INCREMENTAL INNOVATION 1.1. Rationale SME as defined in article 2 of Annex I of Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC make up over 99 % of all enterprises in all EU countries and in Norway. They account for around two- thirds of total employment, ranging from 53 % in the United Kingdom to 86 % in Greece. SME contribute 57 % of value added in the EU.SMEs are thus a very important part of the European economy. Mostly of these SME do not develop breakthrough ideas but incremental innovation that is necessary for the continuous progress of society. Also, there are many SMEs in the EU (i.e. newly created spin off and start-ups) without economic history that allow them to be recipients of a loan, so an instrument dedicated only to SME and consisting only on grants, is still needed. Therefore, this SME instrument for incremental innovation shall continue to provide staged and seamless support to innovative SME. The SME instrument shall be targeted at innovative SMEs showing a strong ambition to develop, grow and internationalise. It shall be provided for incremental innovation, including service, non-technological and social innovations, given each activity has a clear European added value. Only SMEs will be allowed to apply for funding and support. They can form collaborations according to their needs, including for subcontracting research and development work. Projects must be of clear interest and potential benefit to SMEs and have a clear European dimension. 1.2. Areas of intervention and implementation The SME instrument for incremental innovation will cover all fields of science, technology and innovation in a bottom-up approach so as to leave sufficient room for all kinds of incremental innovation ideas, notably cross-sector and interdisciplinary projects, to be funded. It will operate under a single centralised management system, light administrative regime and a single entry point. It shall be implemented in a bottom-up manner through a continuously open call, with four cut-off per year. The SME instrument for incremental innovation will provide simplified and staged support in three phases. Its three phases will cover the whole innovation cycle. Transition from one phase to the next will be seamless, provided that the SME project has proven to be worth further funding during a previous phase. There is no obligation for applicants to sequentially cover all three phases. At the same time each phase will be open to all SME: – Phase 1:Concept and feasibility assessment: SMEs will receive funding to explore the scientific or technical feasibility and the commercial potential of a new idea (proof of concept) in order to develop an incremental innovation project. A positive outcome of this assessment, in which the linkage between project-topic and potential user/buyer needs is an important issue, will allow for funding under the following phase(s). Phase 2:R&D, demonstration, market replication: With due attention to the innovation voucher concept, research and development will be supported with a particular focus on demonstration activities (testing, prototype, scale-up studies, design, piloting innovative processes, products and services, validation, performance verification etc.) and market replication encouraging the involvement of end users or potential clients. Innovation Vouchers will promote the participation of young entrepreneurs. Phase 3:Commercialisation:This phase will fall under the EIC Accelerator established in article 43 of Regulation (XXXXX). Free-of-charge business coaching shall be provided as an optional service in Phases I and II to support and enhance the firm’s innovation capacity and help align the project to strategic business needs.

1 b. YOUNG INNOVATORS AND TALENT RETURN 1.1. Rationale Young people have energy and fresh ideas, and they quite often have the willingness and commitment to succeed. However, starting a business or a research career is an important step and commitment. Helping young people to become researcher or entrepreneurs means helping them to understand what they want to achieve in life. Due to the economic crisis that devastated the countries of the South and East of Europe, many of these young people left their country of origin. This exodus has deprived the economy of these countries of a segment of qualified population, vital for their recovery. Europe counts on a numerous network of scientific and technological parks and incubators that need to be promoted and properly exploited. Young people needs an space and support to create knowledge and develop their projects. “Young Innovators and Talent Return” will provide younger target groups, like university students, graduated and PhD graduated, with brilliant ideas, with the main tools they need to focused their career, and with the instruments for the talent return. Attracting and stimulating the participation of new high-potential actors in research and innovation, such as these young researchers and innovators, is important for nurturing the scientific and industrial leaders of the future. The programme will be an instrument to attract young geniuses with innovative ideas, to support the return of talented young people that have an ambitious project to their countries of origin, to support innovative thinking and acting and to stimulate the creation of knowledge and innovative ideas among young people taking advantage of all the existing infrastructure of scientific and technological parks and incubators shall be settled. 1.2. Areas of intervention and implementation – Creating entrepreneurial fabric with young entrepreneurs/geniuses with an innovative idea using the existing incubators and science and technology parks; – Return of talented young people that have an ambitious project, providing them with a space in scientific or technological park or incubators to address the specific needs of young people; – Collaborating with universities and vocational schools and helping to integrate entrepreneurship education and research capabilities into the education systems starting from early stages of schooling, demonstrating the value of research and business incubation to young people; – Building up capacities and helping young thinkers and innovators with their innovative ideas. The younger target groups will be university students, graduated and doctorates under 35. The programme will finance 50 % through an Horizon Europe grant and will materialize concrete actions in terms of synergies among funds since it should be implemented and co-funded with Structural Funds, Erasmus Programme, the Youth Guarantee and the European Social Fund. It will be a single award decision. Projects must be innovative projects of clear interest and contain a clear connection with the existing infrastructure of incubators and science and technology parks.

Annex I – part III – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 2

The EU must also ~~aim to~~ develop ecosystems that support social innovation and public sector innovation, including social interactions, in addition to innovation in private enterprises. Indeed, the government sector must innovate and renew itself in order to be able to support the changes in regulation and governance required to support the large-scale deployment of new technologies and a growing public demand for the more efficient and effective delivery of services. Social innovations are crucial to enhance the welfare of our societies.

Annex I – part 4 – point 2 a (new)

2a. 1. CITIZENS IN SCIENCE Research and innovation (R&I) systems are currently undergoing far-reaching changes to this modus operandi. At the same time, there is recognition that co- design and co-creation with citizens, stakeholders and end-users needs to be promoted in all policy instruments, including Horizon Europe. Responsible Research and innovation concept has been proved a good frame to push forward the different agendas that help Europe to make a better science, aligned with the needs and expectation of our society. The involvement of societal actors and the integration of societal concerns needs to be more systematic and sustainable, e.g. through institutional changes in R&I organisations that have lasting effects beyond the lifetime of project funding.Likewise, R&I organisations need to facilitate the production and uptake of scientific knowledge by society. In this context, the programme “Citizens and science” is called to support the implementation of Responsible Research and Innovation in Horizon Europe and beyond, looking for lasting institutional change able to embrace open science. Moreover, it also has the role to research and pilot new knowledge and methodologies to ensure a better relationship between citizens and science in the long term. Broad Lines – Responsible Research and Innovation as the umbrella where individuals institutions, regions and countries develop ways to become more open and responsive to society; – Citizen science, including engagement of citizens in the co-design of research and innovation agenda settings and policy, in the co-creation of scientific content and innovation through transdisciplinary activities; – All types of formal, non-formal and informal science education, incorporating STEM, research and entrepreneur skills into education systems from an early stage[SGSM1] , and especially in a changing world where critical thinking and scientific knowledge will allow to fight against, among others, fake news, pseudo science and populism in the long term, while augmenting trust in science; – Supporting gender equality in scientific careers and in decision making, as well as the integration of the gender dimension in research and innovation content; – Ethics and integrity, to further develop a coherent EU framework in adherence with the highest ethics standards and the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity; – Providing researchers with attractive career environments, skills and competences needed in the modern knowledge economy. – Linking the ERA and the European Higher Education Area by supporting the modernisation of universities and other research and innovation organisations, through recognition and reward mechanisms to spur actions at national level, as well as incentives promoting the adoption of open science practices, entrepreneurship (and links to innovation ecosystems), trans-disciplinarity, citizen engagement, international and inter- sectoral mobility, gender equality plans and comprehensive approaches to institutional changes.

Seas and oceans' natural capital and ecosystem services offer significant socio- economic and welfare benefits. This potential is at risk because of the severe pressure from human and natural stressors such as pollution, overfishing, climate change, sea-level rise and extreme weather events. To prevent seas and oceans from reaching a point of no return and in order to promote the value chains of the blue economy, it is necessary to strengthen our knowledge and understanding in order to sustainably manage, protect and restore marine and coastal ecosystems and prevent marine pollution, in a context of an improved and responsible ocean governance framework. This will also include research to sustainably unlock the vast and unexploited economic potential of seas and oceans aiming at producing more food without increasing pressures on them, and also contribute to alleviate pressure on land, freshwater and ocean resources. There is a need for partnering approaches, including sea basin and macro-regional strategies, extending beyond the EU (e.g. in the Mediterranean, the Baltic, the Black Sea, the Atlantic, the Caribbean Sea and in the Indian Ocean); and for contributing to International Ocean Governance commitments, initiatives like the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and commitments linked to the conservation of marine biological diversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction.

The combined effects of population growth, resource scarcity and overexploitation, environmental degradation, climate change and migration create unprecedented challenges which require food system transformation (FOOD 2030).20 Current food production and consumption are largely unsustainable while we are confronted with the double burden of malnutrition, characterised by the coexistence of undernutrition and obesity. Future food systems need to deliver sufficient safe, healthy and quality food for all, underpinned by resource efficiency, sustainability (including the reduction of GHG emissions, pollution and waste production), linking land and sea, reducing food waste, enhancing food production from the seas and oceans and encompassing the entire 'food value chain' from producers to consumers – and back again. This needs to go hand in hand with development of the food safety system of the future and the design, development and delivery of tools, technologies and digital solutions that provide significant benefits for consumers and improve the competitiveness and sustainability of the food value chain. Agricultural technologies, including genetic, mechanical and digital, can provide sustainable solutions across all farming types whether conventional, organic or otherwise. Furthermore, there is a need to foster behavioural changes in food consumption and production patterns as well as to engage primary producers, industry (including SMEs), retailers, food service sectors, consumers, and public services. _________________ 20 SWD(2016) 319 final: European Research and Innovation for Food and Nutrition Security

Circular production and consumption systems will provide benefits to the European economy by reducing resource dependency and increasing the competitiveness of enterprises, and to European citizens by creating new job opportunities and reducing pressures on the environment and climate. Beyond industrial transformation, the transition to a low-emission, resource efficient and circular economy will also need a broader system shift that requires systemic eco- innovative solutions, new business models, markets and investments, enabling infrastructure, social innovation changes in consumer behaviour, and governance models stimulating multi-stakeholder collaboration to ensure that the intended system change achieves better economic, environmental and social outcomes22 , e.g. related sustainable and nutritious food systems, sustainable and healthy living and housing, and energy solutions, and new sustainable materials and products. Opening for international cooperation will be important for comparability, generating and sharing knowledge and avoiding duplication of efforts, e.g. through international initiatives such as the International Resource Panel. _________________ 22 The activities in Circular Systems Area of Intervention are complementary to those of Low-Carbon and Clean Industry in the Digital and Industry cluster.

Recital 5 b (new)

(5 b) As part of the annual reporting, in accordance with Article 45 [Regulation establishing the Horizon Europe Framework Programme], the Commission should carry out a robust consolidation exercise to identify whether the Programme’s climate expenditure is on track to achieve the 50 % target. The Commission should provide information on the scale and results of support to the climate change objectives, differentiating between mitigation and adaptation as well as provide information on the climate contribution of relevant financial instruments, and make this publicly available. In accordance with the Court of Auditor Report 31/2016, particular attention should be paid to the contribution by the bottom-up parts of the Programme, where the share of bottom- up actions that can be considered climate- related depends upon researcher proposals. If the Programme is achieving less than 50% climate-relevant spending, the Commission should respond either by requiring a sharper focus on climate in the Work Programmes of Pillar 2, by soliciting climate-relevance in the proposals submitted under Pillar 1 or Pillar 3 or by moving budgets to parts of the Programme with proven climate- relevance from parts that are not.

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)

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 2 – point 2.2 – point 2.2.3 b (new)

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).

2a. (2.a) CLUSTER 'SECURE SOCIETY' 2a.1 Rationale A prerequisite for freedom is security and vice versa. The EU stands for a unique way of combining democratic values, societal well-being, economic growth, and international responsibilities. It is important to protect EU acquisitions, citizens, public institutions, economy and political stability from the threats of various kind, perpetrators and origins while striking the balance between individual freedom and public safety. Security research is part of the wider EU efforts to meet this challenge. It contributes to the capability development process by enabling future availability of technologies, solutions and applications to fill gaps identified by policy-makers, experts, and end-users, especially public authorities. Such research and innovation responds to the commitment of the Rome Agenda to work towards "a safe and secure Europe”, contributing to a Security Union. Terrorism, radicalisation, politically motivated violence, cyber-attacks and hybrid threats, organised, business/taxes avoidance, and environmental-crime, threats to ICT and other critical infrastructures, raise major concerns and put particular strain on societies. 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. In order to anticipate, prevent and manage risks and threats, it is not only necessary to commit to research but furthermore to develop and apply innovative technologies, solutions, foresight tools and knowledge, stimulate cooperation between providers and public users, find solutions, prevent and combat the abuse of privacy and breaches of human rights in Internet and elsewhere, while ensuring European citizens' individual rights and freedom. To avoid multiple spending, research of public security authorities shall be enforced in efforts of multi and international exchange and cooperation. Public security authorities shall be invigorated to participate in EU research and innovation efforts to further their capabilities to cooperate and communicate on all appropriate levels, to exchange data, to benefit from common standards in technologies, procedures, equipment, and up-to-date results in crime related sciences, training, and supporting advantages of expert knowledge. Furthermore, procurement, to procure prototypes, or develop first purchase programme to facilitate the testing and acquisition of pre-market innovative solutions by public entities, shall be encouraged. 2a.2 Areas of Intervention 2a.2.1 Organised Crime; Terrorism, Extremism, Radicalisation and Politically Motivated Violence Organised Crime, terrorism, extremism, radicalisation and politically motivated violence cause high risks to each citizen as well as to Europe’s society, economy and democratic stability. Their perpetrators range from locally acting inexpert individuals to highly professional organisations operating internationally. Research in humanities and technologies are required to detect, prevent and counter their activities. Broad Lines – Human and social dimensions of criminality and violent radicalisation, in relation to those engaged or potentially engaged in such behaviour as well as to those affected or potentially affected; – Innovative approaches and technologies for security end-users, especially public security authorities; – Technologies and standards of operation for protecting infrastructure, open and public spaces as well as areas and buildings for the gathering of people; – Prediction, detection, prevention, and protection against attempts and perpetrators of serious and organised crime, politically motivated radicalisation, violence, and terrorism; 2a.2.2 Border Protection Management To advance safety and security within the EU requires up-to-date abilities of border protection and management. This includes area reconnaissance and surveillance (air, ground, sea), stable cooperation and data-exchange with foreign authorities, including interoperability capabilities with local, regional, national and international command-, control- and communication- centres as well as implementing solutions for border-protection, incident responding, risk-detection and crime- prevention. Further to include is research on predictive policing and algorithm- based early warning applications, automated surveillance technologies using various kinds of sensors. While evaluating their impact and potential to enhance security efforts, at the same time it shall be evaluated the potential of these solutions, technologies and equipment to contribute to the integrity of those approaching external borders by especially land and sea. Research should support the improvement of the integrated European border management, including through increased cooperation with candidate, potential candidate and EU Neighbourhood Policy countries. It will further assist EU efforts of coping with migration. Broad Lines – Identifying forged and otherwise manipulated documents; – Detecting illegal transportation/trafficking of persons and goods; – Furthering response capabilities to border incidents; – Modernisation of border aerial reconnaissance and surveillance equipment; – Improving direct cooperation of security authorities of both sides in the respective border area for cross-border measures to ensure continuous persecution of offenders and suspects; 2a.2.3 ICT and Cyber-Security, Privacy, Data Protection Malicious and hostile cyber activities threaten our societies and their citizens, the stable and secure functioning of public authorities and institutions, economies and also the very functioning of Europe’s democratic institutions, our freedoms and values. Incidents involving public institutions have occurred already and are likely to increase in the course of further integration of digital and cyber applications in administrative and economic procedures as well as in private and individual use. Cybercrime is on the increase, related risks are diversifying as the economy and society digitalise further on. Europe needs to continue its efforts to improve cyber- and overall ICT-security, digital privacy, personal data protection and combat the spread of false and harmful information in order to safeguard democratic and economic stability. Future security and prosperity depend on improving abilities to protect the EU against such threats, to prevent, detect and counter malicious cyber activities, often requiring close and rapid cross- border cooperation. Especially 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. Europe must keep up all efforts to enforce resilience to ICT- attacks and promote effective deterrence. Collection and evaluation of personal as well as mass data (Big Data) keeps increasing in security related activities. Therefore, it keeps being important to ensure high standards of data protection, privacy and freedom. Broad Lines – Combatting disinformation and fake news with implications for security, including the protection of electoral registration and evaluation/counting systems and communication (election security);developing capabilities to detect the sources of manipulation – Expanding detection, prevention, defence and countering technologies; – Strengthening abilities to decipher and decrypt for public authorities; - Technologies to detect and monitor illicit electronic way of payment and financial flows; – Increase all necessary abilities of appropriate authorities, especially EUROPOL/EC3 and ENISA; – Ensuring the protection of personal data in law enforcement activities, particularly in view of rapid technological developments; –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; – Improving the protection of personal data by promoting easy-to-use solutions for devices used by citizens and consumers; 2a.2.4 Protecting Critical Infrastructures, Supply Chains and Transport/Transfer Facilities and Disaster-Resilience New technologies, processes, methods and dedicated capabilities will help to protect critical infrastructures, systems and services which are essential for the proper functioning of society and economy, including communications, transport, finance, health, food, water, energy, logistic and supply chain, and environment. Disasters arise from multiple sources, whether natural, man-made or resulting from cascading risks. Efforts are required to limit the effects on lives and livelihoods, harm to health and the environment, economic and material damage, to ensure food and medicine supply, security and basic means of communication. Broad Lines – Capacities of society to better manage and reduce disaster risk, including through nature – based solutions, by enhancing prevention, preparedness and response to existing and new risks and improving the resilience of these various infrastructures; – Enhancing moving capabilities for search and rescue equipment, vehicles, supply and forces; – Technologies, equipment and procedures to contain or prevent the outbreak of pandemics; – Improving multi-layer public alert systems, especially considering elderly and disabled persons; – Improving the availability of specialised air- and ground vehicles to fight large- scale and forest fires as well as improving its rapid deployment; 2a.2.5 Piracy and Counterfeit of Products Countering piracy and counterfeit of products remain of serious concern for the European economy, cultural and creative industries (CCIs) and citizens alike. These illicit activities cause serious losses of taxes, revenues and personal income as well as putting employment in Europe at risk. Furthermore, they contribute to environmental damages and inadequate labour conditions globally. Deficient product simply risks for causing damage to persons and property. Such impacts need to be addressed and solutions be found to tackle piracy and counterfeit of products as well as to enforce appropriate public authorities to prevent, detect, investigate and counter these crimes and related illegal activities in cooperation. Efforts to promote the protection of intellectual property should be strengthened. Broad Lines – Promoting techniques of identifying products; – Enhancing protection of original parts and goods; – Technologies to control transported products (real-time) and data-exchange between producers, transporter, custom- authorities and recipients. 2a.2.6 Supporting the Union's external security policies, including through conflict prevention and peace-building New technologies, capabilities and solutions are required to support the Union's external security policies in civilian tasks, ranging from civil protection to humanitarian relief, border management or peace-keeping and post- crisis stabilisation, including conflict prevention, peace-building and mediation. Broad lines: – research on conflict resolution and restoration of peace and justice, on early identification of factors leading to conflict and on the impact of restorative justice processes; – promoting interoperability between civilian and military capabilities in civilian tasks ranging from civil protection to humanitarian relief, border management or peace-keeping; – technological development in the area of dual-use technologies to enhance interoperability between civil protection and military forces and amongst civil protection forces worldwide, as well as reliability, organisational, legal and ethical aspects, trade issues, protection of confidentiality and integrity of information and traceability of all transactions and processing; – developing command and control capabilities for civil missions. 2a.2.7 Promoting Coordination, Cooperation and Synergies To ensure the ability to deploy, manage, control and command inter-authority procedures up-to-date technology and standards are required. The aim ought to be to equip public authorities and other forces to be deployed with exchangeable equipment, to integrate EU-wide standard procedures of operation, responding, reporting and data-exchange. Obliging to responsible spending security related HEU-funded research and innovation should promote coordination and synergetic effects of appropriate activities, contributing to efficient spending of funds and to avoiding duplications. This shall also be sought regarding activities supported by EU- funded defence research, including exchange and consultation mechanisms with defence research associated authorities, especially the EDA, recognising that there are areas of dual- use technology. Standards ensure common development, production and implementation as well as abilities of exchange, interoperability and compatibility of services, procedures, technologies and equipment. Broad Lines – Technologies and equipment with basic operation requirements to be applicable by all MS forces and authorities of the same line (police, rescue, disaster management, communication etc.) equally; – Interoperability of equipment and procedures to facilitate cross-border and inter-agency operational ability; – Identification of standardisation gaps among MS and with non-EU partners; Specific implementation aspects: An adequate budget should be allocated to agencies to further promote their ability to participate in asEU research & innovation and in order to manage relevant projects, to exchange demands, results and ambitions as well as to cooperate and coordinate efforts with other agencies and certain non-EU authorities like CTG and IKPO. As for security related research and innovation these are especially CEPOL, EASA, ECDC, EMCDDA,EMSA, ENISA, EU- LISA, EUIPO, EUROPOL, FRONTEX and SatCen.

2 a. 2 (a new) CLUSTER 'RESILIENT SOCIETY' 2a.1 Rationale The European Union, its citizen and its international partners are confronted with a range of security threats and challenges like organised crime, terrorism, violent extremism, ethnic and political conflict, root causes of armed conflict and forced migration and mass emergencies due to man-made or natural disasters. These challenges can span across borders and affect physical or the cyberspace. As society and the economy are increasingly digitalise, they also become more vulnerable to cybercrime, which may seriously affect major critical infrastructure, such as in the energy, transport, health, finance or telecommunications sectors. At the same time fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons and in particular their right to privacy is key in the EU.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. Moreover, further efforts are required to tackle climate change. The observed changes in climate are already having wide-ranging impacts on ecosystems, societies, human health and well-being in Europe. The effects on lives and livelihoods of extreme weather events, such as floods, storms or droughts leading to forest fires, land degradation and other natural disasters, e.g. earthquakes, are intensifying. 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 development of new concepts but also to the capability development process by enabling the future availability of technologies and applications to fill capability gaps identified by policy-makers and practitioners, experts, and end-users, public authorities, academia and civil society. 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).The Horizon Europe Programme shall exclusively focus on civil research and applications, any defence-related research and innovation activities or civilian-military dual-use technologies shall be excluded under this Programme. The close involvement of citizen’s and civils society organisations and political, academia and in particular social and human science in the security research area will be an essential element and will help to map present research efforts, and improve the relevance of activities pursued and the full respect of fundamental rights, human rights, international humanitarian law and liberties of citizens. Public security authorities and civil society shall be encouraged to participate in Union research and innovation efforts to further their capabilities to cooperate and communicate at all appropriate levels, to exchange data, to benefit from common standards in technologies, procedures, equipment, and up-to-date results in conflict and crime related sciences, training, and supporting advantages of expert knowledge Research under this cluster aims at addressing societal security and resilience in a holistic manner with the concept of human security at its centre. [2a.2] 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. The aim is to prevent and reduce the loss of life, harm to health and the environment, economic and material damage from disasters, ensure food security as well as to improve the understanding and reduction of disaster risks and post-disaster lesson learning. Broad Lines – Basic research on relevant phenomena and their mechanisms, methods of data gathering, analytical tools and concepts including technologies and capabilities to support different types of emergency management operations;– Technologies and capabilities for first responders for emergency operations in crisis and disaster situations;– The capacities of society to better manage and reduce disaster risk, including through nature- based solutions, by enhancing prevention, preparedness and response to existing and new risks including nuclear detonations;– Interoperability of equipment and procedures to facilitate cross-border operational cooperation for disaster response. [2a.3.] Enhancing human security, protecting freedom and civil liberties There is a need to protect citizens from and to respond to security threats from criminals including terrorist activities and hybrid threats; to protect people and to understand and tackle the causes of terrorist ideas and beliefs; to prevent harm and support victims of random act of violence, organised crime and state sponsored harmful activities; and to defend democratic societies and the rule of law, in particular human rights, fundamental rights and civil liberties; Broad Lines – Innovative use of current resources and better training and technologies for security practitioners (such as police forces, border and coast guards, customs offices), teachers and social workers, public health practitioners, operators of infrastructure and those managing open spaces; – Human and social dimensions of criminality and violent radicalisation, in relation to those engaged or potentially engaged in such behaviour as well as to those affected or potentially affected; social and educational policies to encounter these tendencies and preventing the radicalisation into political violence and channelling social discontent into peaceful, democratic protest and dialogue – The understanding and sensibilisation of citizens, public authorities and industry to prevent the creation of new security risks, to reduce existing risks and the consequences of the materialisation of risks; – Combatting disinformation and fake news with implications for security without homogenisation of beliefs, views, narratives and reducing pluralism; – Interoperability of equipment and procedures to facilitate cross-border and inter-agency operational cooperation, with the exception of dual use technologies, and develop an integrated EU market including strict export control of technologies which could be used for mass surveillance, manipulation and espionage. – Ensuring the protection of personal data in law enforcement activities, in particular in view of rapid technological developments. 2a.4 Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding Research is needed to support policymakers in designing policies that follow the Union’s aim to promote peace. Such research shall in particular feed into the implementation and the adaptation of the broad external action of the Union to prevent the development of various forms of divisions, conflict and political and social exclusion, discrimination and inequalities, such as gender and intergenerational inequalities, discrimination due to disability or ethnic origin, or digital or innovation divides, in European societies and in other regions of the world. The focus of activities shall be to understand and foster or implement Europe's role as a global actor, notably regarding human rights and global justice; Basic research on relevant phenomena and their mechanisms, methods of data gathering and new technologies, capabilities and solutions are required to support the Union's external policies in civilian tasks across the conflict cycle, ranging from conflict prevention, mediation, crisis management, peace- building, post-conflict and reconciliation. Those actions also have to be linked to other EU internal and external policies. Assessing the EU’s policies impact and perception is key in order to adjust and adapt the Union engagement with its partners and local population, in particular in conflict-affected settings. Further research into the implementation outcome of, inter alia, EU’s trade, migration, foreign and security or development policies will contribute to ensure EU’s effectiveness in its Integrated Approach to conflict and crises. This will also require research on conflict resolution and restoration of peace and justice, on early identification of factors leading to conflict, factors of resilience and peace, as well as on the impact of restorative justice processes. Interoperability between civilian and military capabilities in civilian tasks will also be sought. Further research is also needed to understand the socioeconomic, cultural, and anthropological dimensions of human security, the causes of insecurity, the role of media and communication and the citizen's perceptions, access to and exclusion from power, institutional weaknesses and resilience, systemic corruption as well as on factors contributing to peace. Broad Lines – Understand and foster or implement Europe's role as a global actor, notably regarding human rights and global justice;– Strengthening the development of Conflict Analysis and Conflict sensitivity methodologies, in particular with the view of enhancing its use across the EU institutions; – Understand and strengthen resilience and peace factors in conflict and post- conflict settings – Understand and strengthen inclusivity in governance, in particular in conflict prevention, conflict resolution, mediation and formal or non-formal post-conflict institutional building – Measuring and evaluating effects of EU’s policies and actions in conflict- affected settings – Operationalisation of the Integrated Approach and link between security, migration, trade and other polices of the EU.

2 a. CLUSTER 'SECURE SOCIETY' 1.1. Rationale Europe 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. The magnitude, complexity and trans- national character of the challenges call. Addressing the trans-national character of the security challenge call multi- layered EU action due to its magnitude and complexity, to avoid the inefficient use of resources, fragmented approaches and dissimilar standards of knowledge and capacity. 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).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. Research and Innovation activities in this Societal Challenge will be overall aligned with the Commission's priorities on Democratic Change; Jobs, Growth and Investment; Justice and Fundamental Rights; Migration; A Deeper and Fairer European Monetary Union; Digital Single Market. It will respond to the commitment of the Rome Agenda to work towards: "a social Europe" and "a Union which preserves our cultural heritage and promotes cultural diversity". 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. Activities will contribute directly to the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in particular: SDG 1 - No Poverty; SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure; SDG 11- Sustainable Cities and Communities; SDG 16 – Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions. 1.2.Areas of Intervention 1.2.1.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. The aim is to prevent and reduce the loss of life, harm to health and the environment, economic and material damage from disasters, ensure food security as well as to improve the understanding and reduction of disaster risks and post-disaster lesson learning. Broad Lines – Technologies and capabilities for first responders for emergency operations in crisis and disaster situations; – The capacities of society to better manage and reduce disaster risk, including through nature-based solutions, by enhancing prevention, preparedness and response to existing and new risks – Interoperability of equipment and procedures to facilitate cross-border operational cooperation and an integrated EU market. 1.2.2.Protection and Security There is a need to protect citizens from and to respond to security threats from criminal including terrorist activities and hybrid threats; to protect people, public spaces and critical infrastructure, from both physical (including CBRN-E) attacks and cyber-attacks; to fight terrorism and radicalisation, including understanding and tackling terrorist ideas and beliefs; to prevent and fight serious crime, including cybercrime, and organised crime; to support victims; to trace criminal financial flows; to support the use of data for law enforcement and to ensure the protection of personal data in law enforcement activities; to support air, land and sea EU border management, for flows of people and goods. It is essential to maintain flexibility rapidly to address new security challenges that may arise. Broad Lines – Innovative approaches and technologies for security practitioners (such as police forces, border and coast guards, customs offices), public health practitioners, operators of infrastructure and those managing open spaces; – Human and social dimensions of criminality and violent radicalisation, in relation to those engaged or potentially engaged in such behaviour as well as to those affected or potentially affected; – The mind-set of citizens, public authorities and industry to prevent the creation of new security risks and to reduce existing risks, including those from new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence; – Combatting disinformation and fake news with implications for security; – Interoperability of equipment and procedures to facilitate cross-border and inter-agency operational cooperation and develop an integrated EU market. – Ensuring the protection of personal data in law enforcement activities, in particular in view of rapid technological developments. 1.2.3. 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.

2a. Secure societies 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. 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. 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.

2a. To meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement the EU will need to transition to low-carbon, resource-efficient and resilient economies and societies. This will be based on profound changes in technology and services, to the ways in which businesses and consumers behave, as well as involving new forms of governance. Limiting the increase of global average temperature to well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C, requires rapid progress in decarbonising the energy system and substantially reducing greenhouse-gas (GHG)emissions from the transport sector[1].It will also need new impetus to accelerate the pace of developing next-generation breakthroughs as well as demonstrating and deploying innovative technologies and solutions, using also the opportunities provided by digital and space technologies. This will be pursued through an integrated approach encompassing decarbonisation, resource efficiency, reduction of air pollution, access to raw materials and circular economy. Progress in these sectors - but also across the spectrum of EU industry including agriculture, buildings, industrial processes and product use, and waste management - will require continued efforts to better understand the mechanisms of climate change and the associated impacts across the economy and society, exploiting synergies with national activities, other EU types of actions and international cooperation. Over the past decade, considerable advances have been made in climate science, in particular in observations and data assimilation and climate modelling. However, the complexity of the climate- system and the need to support implementation of the Paris Agreement, the Sustainable Development Goals and EU policies necessitate a reinforced effort to fill the remaining knowledge gaps.

The EU aims to be world leader in affordable, secure and sustainable renewable 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 save energy, ensure energy security and access to raw materials, dictate a broad portfolio of renewable 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. As regards fossil fuels, decarbonising their usage will be essential to meet the climate objectivSignificant improvements need to be made on system integration. The energy transformation will challenge the EU to lead in developing solutions for an upgraded market design including the provision of grid and system services by renewables. The heating and cooling sector is still one of the most polluting sectors. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EU) 2018/844 leads the way for accelerating the shift away from fossil fuels as source of energy supply to heating and cooling towards renewable energy technologies and solutions. To achieve the necessary deployment levels of renewable energy technologies, costs need to decrease further and performance must improve which requires support for incremental research in advanced technologies. Furthermore, new breakthrough technologies need to be developed, while established technologies need to be improved. The phase-out of fossil fuels will be indispensable to meet the climate objectives. There is a pressing need to find solutions that further reduce entry barriers for renewables, including non-technical ones, in order to accelerate the market uptake of renewables.

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.1 – paragraph 1

Human activities are exerting increasing pressure on soils, seas and oceans, water, air, biodiversity and other natural resources. Nourishing the planet's growing population is directly dependent on the health of natural systems and resources as the factors of agricultural production include both renewable and non- renewable natural resources. However, combined with climate change, humanity's growing demand for natural resources creates environmental pressures that go far beyond sustainable levels, affecting ecosystems and inhibiting their capacity to provide services ~~for human well-being~~maintaining human well- being in the long term. Any production system that degradates the natural will not be sustainable, nor productive in the long- term and therefore not competitive. A functioning and prosperous ecosystem is the very basis for all resource utilization. Recognising the large volume of well recognised existing scientific evidence on the link between degradation of the natural resource base, including biodiversity, and the functioning of natural and semi-natural ecosystems to provide essential services to society and acting on solutions proposed as a result of that science is crucial. The concepts of the circular economy, thagroecology, sustainable bioeconomy and ~~the~~ blue economy provide an opportunity to balance environmental, social and economic goals and to set human activities on a path to sustainability.

Resilient and sustainable farming and forestry systems provide economic, environmental and social benefits in a changing context for primary production. In addition to contributing to food and nutrition security, they feed into dynamic value chains, manage land and natural resources as well as deliver a range of vital public goods including carbon s~~equestration~~torage, biodiversity preservation, pollination, pest control and public health and wellbeing.. Integrated approaches are needed to promote the multiple functions of agro- and forest (eco)systems taking into account the changing context for primary production, notably in relation to climate and environment, resource availability, demography and consumption patterns. This presupposes acquiring a better scientific understanding of the impact of different farming systems on the preservation/loss of biodiversity and ecosystems and of the ecosystem services provided by different farming systems. It is also necessary to address the spatial and socio-economic dimension of agriculture and forestry activities and mobilise the potential of rural areas.

Amendment 1612 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.2 – point 5.2.4 – paragraph 1

~~Seas and oceans' natural capital and ecosystem services~~The Sea oceans and inland waters’ rich biodiversity is the basis for all life on earth. It also offers significant socio- economic and welfare benefits. This potential is at risk because of the severe pressure from human ~~and natural~~ stressors such as pollution, overfishing, climate change, sea- level rise other water use and extreme weather events. To prevent seas and oceans from reaching a point of no return, it is necessary to strengthen our knowledge and understanding in order to ~~sustainably manage,~~ protect and restore marine and coastal ecosystems and prevent marine pollution, in a context of an improved and responsible ocean governance framework. This will also include research to sustainably unlock the vast and unexploited economic potential of seas and oceans aiming at producing more food without increasing pressures on them, and also contribute to alleviate pressure on land, freshwater and ocean resourcesto a good environmental status, prevent marine pollution and sustainably manage the resources we need, in a context of an improved and responsible ocean governance framework. There is a need for partnering approaches, including sea basin and macro- regional strategies, extending beyond the EU (e.g. in the Mediterranean, the Baltic, the Black Sea, the Atlantic, the Caribbean Sea and in the Indian Ocean); and for contributing to International Ocean Governance commitments, the Sustainable Development Goals, initiatives like the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and commitments linked to the conservation of marine biological diversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction.

The combined effects of population growth, resource scarcity and overexploitation, environmental degradation, climate change and migration create unprecedented challenges which require food system transformation (FOOD 2030).20 Current food production and consumption are largely unsustainable while we are confronted with the double burden of malnutrition, characterised by the coexistence of undernutrition and obesity. Future food systems need to deliver sufficient safe, healthy and quality food for all, underpinned by resource efficiency, sustainability (including the reduction of GHG emissions, pollution and waste production), linking land and sea, reducing food losses and waste, enhancing food production from the seas and oceans and encompassing the entire 'food value chain' from producers to consumers – and back again. This needs to go hand in hand with development of the food safety system of the future and the design, development and delivery of tools, technologies and digital solutions that provide significant benefits for consumers and improve the competitiveness, efficiency and sustainability of the food value chain. Furthermore, there is a need to foster behavioural changes in food consumption and production patterns as well as to ~~engage~~better engage consumers, primary producers, industry (including SMEs), retailers, food service sectors, consumers, and public services. _________________ 20 SWD(2016) 319 final: European Research and Innovation for Food and Nutrition Security

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part III – point 1 – point 1.1 – point 1.1.1 – paragraph 5

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. T~~order 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.

Proposal for a decision
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.

1.1 a. Innovation for SMEs – Integrating support for SMEs through a dedicated instrument Research and innovation in SMEs play a key role in enhancing Europe’s competitiveness, as well as increasing its prosperity and furthering the goal of full employment. SMEs are being held back in the innovation process by a number of handicaps, namely: a shortage of available funding, a lack of in-house capacity and skills in promoting and, above all, managing innovation, and an inadequate ability to team and network with other players or participate in public procurement procedures. They need to boost their research and innovation capacity in an increasingly competition- driven global context and generate, acquire, and market new knowledge and business ideas in order to remain competitive. Areas of Intervention Horizon Europe will encourage and support greater integrated SME participation through all of the specific third- and second-pillar objectives. In addition, there will be an ‘SME Instrument 2’, following on from the version tested under the Horizon 2020 programme in the EIC pilot project, for all types of SMEs capable of carrying out innovation activities. The main aim is to close the funding gap regarding early- stage high-risk innovation, stimulate breakthrough innovations, and improve SMEs’ ability to increase the market take- up of results achieved. – The specific objectives related to ‘Global challenges and industrial competitiveness’ (pillar II) and ‘Open innovation’ (pillar III) must all provide for an appropriate amount for the SME Instrument. SMEs, the sole recipients of all the forms of support, may work together, for instance by setting up consortia, including for the purposes of R & D work contracted out. Projects submitted must be of clear interest and potentially of advantage to SMEs as well as having an explicit European dimension. – The SME Instrument will operate under a single centralised management system, with straightforward administrative arrangements and a single entry point. It should be implemented primarily from the bottom up by means of a continuously open call. SMEs may seek and obtain funding for the following activities: Phase 1: Proof of concept and feasibility assessment: This is intended to ascertain the scientific or technical feasibility and the commercial potential of a new idea for an innovation project. If the assessment produces a favourable result, in which the subject of the project is shown to tie in with the potential needs of the user/acquirer, funding may be granted during the next phases. Phase 2: Research and development, demonstration, market replication Support for R & D will be focused on demonstration activities (tests, prototypes, scale studies, design, piloting of innovative processes, products, and services, validation, performance verification, etc.) and on replication. Phase 3:Market take-up: This phase will be pursued through the available EIC instruments, in conjunction with the Accelerator. Using the existing SME support networks, a mentoring programme will be established for recipient SMEs with a view to speeding up the impact of support. For the purposes of implementing the mentoring programme, liaison with appropriate national and/or regional intermediaries will be explored.

1 a. Innovation for SMEs - Mainstreaming SME support through a dedicated instrument Rationale Considering the central role of SMEs in Europe's economy, research and innovation in SMEs will play a crucial role in increasing competitiveness, boosting economic growth and job creation. However, SMEs have several types of problems to become more innovative and more competitive, including shortage of financial resources and access to finance, shortage in skills in innovation management, weaknesses in networking and cooperation with external parties, and insufficient use of public procurement to foster innovation in SMEs. The internationalised business environment with increasingly interlinked value chains puts further pressure on them. SMEs need to enhance their research and innovation capacity. They need to generate, take up and commercialise new knowledge and business ideas faster and to a greater extent to compete successfully on fast evolving global markets. The challenge is to stimulate more innovation in SMEs, thereby enhancing their competitiveness, sustainability and growth. Areas of intervention Horizon Europe will encourage and support the increased participation of SMEs in an integrated way across all specific objectives under Pillar III but also Pillar II. For this purpose, to participate in Horizon 2020, better conditions for SMEs shall be established. In addition, building on the experience of Horizon 2020, a SME Instrument 2 as experimented under the EIC Pilot will be targeted at all types of innovative SMEs. It will be provided for all types of innovation. The objective is to help fill the gap in funding for early stage high-risk research and innovation, stimulate breakthrough innovations and increase private-sector commercialisation of research results. All specific objectives of Pillar II "Global Challenges and industrial competitiveness" and Pillar III “Open Innovation” shall apply the dedicated SME instrument and allocate an appropriate amount to it. Only SMEs will be allowed to apply for funding and support. They can form collaborations according to their needs, including for subcontracting research and development work. Projects must be of clear interest and potential benefit to SMEs and have a clear European dimension. The SME instrument will cover all fields of science, technology and innovation in a bottom-up approach within a given global challenge or enabling technology so as to leave sufficient room for all kinds of promising ideas, notably cross- sector and interdisciplinary projects, to be funded. The SME instrument will operate under a single centralised management system, light administrative regime and a single entry point. It shall be implemented primarily in a bottom-up manner through a continuously open call. The SME instrument will provide simplified and staged support. In particular, SMEs will be able to apply to: — Phase 1:Concept and feasibility assessment: SMEs will receive funding to explore the scientific or technical feasibility and the commercial potential of a new idea (proof of concept) in order to develop an innovation project. A positive outcome of this assessment, in which the linkage between project-topic and potential user/buyer needs is an important issue, will allow for funding under the following phase(s). — Phase 2:R&D, demonstration, market replication: research and development will be supported with a particular focus on demonstration activities (testing, prototype, scale-up studies, design, piloting innovative processes, products and services, validation, performance verification etc.) and market replication encouraging the involvement of end users or potential clients. — Phase 3: Commercialisation: This phase will be developed relying on the tools and instruments available under the EIC, in particular strong synergies are envisaged with the Accelerator. Relying on existing SME support networks, such as the Europe Enterprise Network and other innovation service providers, a mentoring scheme for the beneficiary SMEs shall be established to accelerate impact from the support provided. In addition, links will be explored with relevant national and/or regional intermediaries to ensure an efficient implementation of the mentoring scheme.

Rationale Considering the central role of SMEs in Europe's economy, research and innovation in SMEs will play a crucial role in increasing competitiveness, boosting economic growth and job creation. However, SMEs face several different types of problems to become more innovative and more competitive, including shortage of financial resources and access to finance, shortage of skills in innovation management, weaknesses in networking and cooperation with external parties, and insufficient use of public procurement to foster innovation. The internationalised business environment with increasingly interlinked value chains adds further pressure on them. SMEs need to enhance their research and innovation capacity.

The challenge is thus to stimulate more innovation in SMEs, thereby enhancing their competitiveness, sustainability and growth. Areas of intervention Horizon Europe will encourage and support the increased, more integrated participation of SMEs across all specific objectives under both Pillar III and Pillar II. For this purpose, there is the need to establish better conditions for SMEs for them to participate in Horizon 2020.In addition, building on the experience of Horizon 2020, a SME Instrument 2 as experimented under the EIC Pilot will target all types of innovative SMEs, provided for all types of innovation.

1 a. SME INSTRUMENT FOR INCREMENTAL INNOVATION 1.1. Rationale SME as defined in article 2 of Annex I of Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC make up over 99 % of all enterprises in all EU countries and in Norway. They account for around two- thirds of total employment, ranging from 53 % in the United Kingdom to 86 % in Greece. SME contribute 57 % of value added in the EU.SME are thus a very important part of the European economy. Mostly of these SME do not develop breakthrough ideas but incremental innovation that is necessary for the continuous progress of society. Also, there are many SME in the EU (i.e. newly created spin off and start ups) without economic history that allow them to be recipients of a loan, so an instrument dedicated only to SME and consisting only on grants, is still needed. Therefore, this SME instrument for incremental innovation shall continue to provide staged and seamless support to innovative SME. The SME instrument shall be targeted at innovative SME showing a strong ambition to develop, grow and internationalise. It shall be provided for incremental innovation, including service, non-technological and social innovations, given each activity has a clear European added value. Only SME will be allowed to apply for funding and support. They can form collaborations according to their needs, including for subcontracting research and development work. Projects must be of clear interest and potential benefit to SME and have a clear European dimension. 1.2.Areas of intervention and implementation The SME instrument for incremental innovation will cover all fields of science, technology and innovation in a bottom-up approach so as to leave sufficient room for all kinds of incremental innovation ideas, notably cross-sector and interdisciplinary projects, to be funded. It will operate under a single centralised management system, light administrative regime and a single entry point. It shall be implemented in a bottom-up manner through a continuously open call, with four cut-off per year. The SME instrument for incremental innovation will provide simplified and staged support in three phases. Its three phases will cover the whole innovation cycle. Transition from one phase to the next will be seamless, provided that the SME project has proven to be worth further funding during a previous phase. There is no obligation for applicants to sequentially cover all three phases. At the same time each phase will be open to all SME: – Phase 1:Concept and feasibility assessment: SME will receive funding to explore the scientific or technical feasibility and the commercial potential of a new idea (proof of concept) in order to develop an incremental innovation project. A positive outcome of this assessment, in which the linkage between project-topic and potential user/buyer needs is an important issue, will allow for funding under the following phase(s). - Phase 2:R&D, demonstration, market replication: With due attention to the innovation voucher concept, research and development will be supported with a particular focus on demonstration activities (testing, prototype, scale-up studies, design, piloting innovative processes, products and services, validation, performance verification etc.) and market replication encouraging the involvement of end users or potential clients. Innovation Vouchers will promote the participation of young entrepreneurs. Phase 3:Commercialisation:This phase will fall under the EIC Accelerator established in article 43 of Regulation (XXXXX). Free-of-charge business coaching shall be provided as an optional service in Phases I and II to support and enhance the firm’s innovation capacity and help align the project to strategic business needs.

1 b. YOUNG INNOVATORS AND TALENT RETURN 1.1. Rationale Young people have energy and fresh ideas, and they quite often have the willingness and commitment to succeed. However, starting a business or a research career is an important step and commitment. Helping young people to become researcher or entrepreneurs means helping them to understand what they want to achieve in life. Due to the economic crisis that devastated the countries of the South and East of Europe, many of these young people left their country of origin. This exodus has deprived the economy of these countries of a segment of qualified population, vital for their recovery. Europe counts on a numerous network of scientific and technological parks and incubators that need to be promoted and properly exploited. Young people needs an space and support to create knowledge and develop their projects. “Young Innovators and Talent Return” will provide younger target groups, like university students, graduated and PhD graduated, with brilliant ideas, with the main tools they need to focused their career, and with the instruments for the talent return. Attracting and stimulating the participation of new high-potential actors in research and innovation, such as these young researchers and innovators, is important for nurturing the scientific and industrial leaders of the future. The programme will be an instrument to attract young geniuses with innovative ideas, to support the return of talented young people that have an ambitious project to their countries of origin, to support innovative thinking and acting and to stimulate the creation of knowledge and innovative ideas among young people taking advantage of all the existing infrastructure of scientific and technological parks and incubators shall be settled. 1.2.Areas of intervention and implementation – Creating entrepreneurial fabric with young entrepreneurs/geniuses with an innovative idea using the existing incubators and science and technology parks; – Return of talented young people that have an ambitious project, providing them with an espace in scientific or technological park or incubators to address the specific needs of young people; – Collaborating with universities and vocational schools and helping to integrate entrepreneurship education and research capabilities into the education systems starting from early stages of schooling, demonstrating the value of research and business incubation to young people; – Building up capacities and helping young thinkers and innovators with their innovative ideas. The younger target groups will be university students, graduated and doctorates under 35. The programme will finance 50 % through an Horizon Europe grant and will materialize concrete actions in terms of synergies among funds since it should be implemented and co-funded with Structural Funds, Erasmus Programme, the Youth Guarantee and the European Social Fund. It will be a single award decision. Projects must be innovative projects of clear interest and contain clear connection with the existing infrastructure of incubators and science and technology parks.

The EU must also aim to develop ecosystems that support social innovation, transfer of knowledge between small and big actors and public sector innovation, in addition to innovation in private enterprises. ~~Indeed, t~~The government sector must innovate and renew itself in order to be able to support the changes in regulation and governance required to support the large-scale deployment of new technologies and a growing public demand for the more efficient and effective delivery of services. ~~Social innovations are crucial to enhance the welfare of our societies~~In this work, the special needs of different groups should be considered as well as universal design, which means that products, goods and services can be used by anyone, regardless of age, size, ability or disability. Social innovations are crucial to enhance the welfare of our societies. As the Union’s largest innovation network, the EIT will play an important role in the implementation of this priority. The EIT connects national and regional innovation ecosystems via its Innovation Communities (KICs). They make the case for desired interregional cooperation by linking innovation ecosystems on a pan- European scale. KICs should therefore be used as the basis for the further development of the ecosystems, especially in the fields covered by the activity of the KICs.

As the report of the High Level Group on maximising the impact of EU research and innovation (the Lamy High level Group) clearly states, the way forward is 'to educate for the future and invest in people who will make the change'. In particular, European universities are called to stimulate entrepreneurship, tear down disciplinary borders and institutionalise strong non-disciplinary academia-industry collaborations. According to recent surveys, access to talented people is by far the most important factor influencing the location choices of European founders of start-ups. Entrepreneurship education and training opportunities play a key role in cultivating future innovators and in developing the abilities of existing ones to grow their business to greater levels of success. Access to entrepreneurial talent, together with access to professional services, capital and markets on the EU level, and bringing key innovation actors together around a common goal are key ingredients for nurturing an innovation ecosystem, making the most of successful innovation models and best practice at regional, national, and European level. There is a need to coordinate efforts across the EU.in order to create a critical mass of interconnected EU-wide entrepreneurial clusters and ecosystems,

In addition, research and innovation are seen by some as distant and elitist without clear benefits for citizens, instilling attitudes that hamper the creation and uptake of innovative solutions, and scepticism about evidence-based public policies. This requires bodeveloping and testing solutions to improve meaningful societal engagement, in particular addressing the barriers to societal engagement, along with better linkages between scientists, citizens and policy- makers, and more robust approaches to pooling scientific evidence itself.

Amendment 1920 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part 4 – paragraph 5

The EU now needs to raise the bar on the quality and impact of its research and innovation system, requiring a revitalised European Research Area (ERA)31 , better supported by the EU's research and innovation Framework Programme. Specifically, a well-integrated yet tailored set of EU measures32 is needed, combined with reforms and performance enhancements at national level (to which the Smart Specialisation Strategies supported under the European Regional Development Fund can contribute) substantially, if consistent with strong national research strategies and funding and, in turn, institutional changes within research funding and performing organisations, including universities. By combining efforts at EU level, synergies can be exploited and the necessary scale can be found to make support to national policy reforms more efficient and impactful. _________________ 31 Council Conclusions on the ERA Roadmap, 19 May 2015 [To be updated as necessary]. 32 TFEU Article 181.2

2 a. Science with and for Society SCIENCE WITH AND FOR SOCIETY The aim is to build effective cooperation between science and society, to combat fake news, recruit new talent for science and innovation, to promote gender equality and to pair scientific excellence with excellence in science engagement and with social awareness and responsibility. The strength of the European science and technology system depends on its capacity to harness talent and ideas from wherever they exist and to ensure scientific and technological advancements in line with citizens’ needs. This can only be achieved if a fruitful and rich dialogue and active cooperation between science and society is developed to ensure a more responsible science and to enable the development of policies more relevant to citizens. Rapid advances in contemporary scientific research and innovation have led to a rise of important ethical, legal and social issues that affect the relationship between science and society. To combat fake news, practice and research in science engagement need to be better integrated and should continuously innovate to keep up with the pace of scientific, technological and societal changes. Research, practice and piloting, together with a systemic integration of all relevant actors are essential to promote critical thinking among Europeans and to address the issue of post-truth. Future and emerging technologies represent a significant societal challenge. Europe is in the Fourth Industrial Revolution with immense potentials, both positive and negative that Europeans need to shape with their values of democracy, fairness, ethics and engagement. Improving the cooperation between science and society to enable a widening of the social and political support to science and technology in all Member States is an increasingly crucial issue which the current crisis has greatly exacerbated. Public investment in science requires a vast social and political constituency sharing the values of science, educated and engaged in its processes and able to recognise its contributions to knowledge, society and economic progress. The focus of activities shall be to: (a) make scientific and technological careers attractive to young students, and foster sustainable interaction between all actors of the formal and informal education systems, research institutions, industry and civil society organisations with the development of adapted modes of engagement with young people; (b) counter the post-truth phenomenon by stimulating research, practice and piloting of activities to further develop critical thinking from an early age through late adulthood; (c) promote gender equality, in particular by supporting structural changes in the organisation of research institutions and in the content and design of research activities; (d) support the engagement of citizens in the co-design of research and innovation agenda settings and policy, in the co-creation of scientific content and innovation through transdisciplinary activities, in order to integrate citizens' interests and values and to increase the quality, relevance, social acceptability and sustainability of research and innovation outcomes in various fields of activity from social innovation to future and emerging technologies; (e) encourage citizens to engage in science through formal and informal science education, and promote the diffusion of science-based activities, namely in science centres and museums and through other appropriate channels; (f) develop the accessibility and the use of the results of publicly-funded research; (g) develop the governance for the advancement of responsible research and innovation by all stakeholders (researchers, public authorities, industry and civil society organisations), which is sensitive to society needs and demands, and promote an ethics framework for research and innovation; (h) take due and proportional precautions in research and innovation activities by anticipating and assessing potential environmental, health and safety impacts; (i) support science engagement, including all types of formal, non-formal and informal science education, and improve the knowledge on science engagement in order to enhance the effectiveness of interactions between scientists, general media and the public.

2 a. CITIZENS IN SCIENCE Research and innovation (R&I) systems are currently undergoing far-reaching changes to this modus operandi. At the same time, there is recognition that co- design and co-creation with citizens, stakeholders and end-users needs to be promoted in all policy instruments, including Horizon Europe. Responsible Research and innovation concept has been proved a good frame to push forward the different agendas that help Europe to make a better science, aligned with the needs and expectation of our society. The involvement of societal actors and the integration of societal concerns needs to be more systematic and sustainable, e.g. through institutional changes in R&I organisations that have lasting effects beyond the lifetime of project funding. Likewise, R&I organisations need to facilitate the production and uptake of scientific knowledge by society. In this context, the programme “Citizens and science” is called to support the implementation of Responsible Research and Innovation in Horizon Europe and beyond, looking for lasting institutional change able to embrace open science. Moreover, it also has the role to research and pilot new knowledge and methodologies to ensure a better relationship between citizens and science in the long term. Broad Lines – Responsible Research and Innovation as the umbrella where individuals institutions, regions and countries develops ways to become more open and responsive to society; – Citizen science, including engagement of citizens in the co-design of research and innovation agenda settings and policy, in the co-creation of scientific content and innovation through transdisciplinary activities; – All types of formal, non-formal and informal science education, incorporating STEM, research and entrepreneur skills into education systems from an early stage, and especially in a changing world where critical thinking and scientific knowledge will allow to fight against, among others, fake news, pseudo science and populism in the long term, while augmenting trust in science; – Supporting gender equality in scientific careers and in decision making, as well as the integration of the gender dimension in research and innovation content; – Ethics and integrity, to further develop a coherent EU framework in adherence with the highest ethics standards and the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity; – Providing researchers with attractive career environments, skills and competences needed in the modern knowledge economy1a. – Linking the ERA and the European Higher Education Area by supporting the modernisation of universities and other research and innovation organisations, through recognition and reward mechanisms to spur actions at national level, as well as incentives promoting the adoption of open science practices, entrepreneurship (and links to innovation ecosystems), trans-disciplinarity, citizen engagement, international and inter- sectoral mobility, gender equality plans and comprehensive approaches to institutional changes. In that context, also complementing the Erasmus programme support for the European Universities initiative, in particular its research dimension, as part of developing new joint and integrated long term and sustainable strategies on education, research and innovation based on trans-disciplinary and cross-sectoral approaches to make the knowledge triangle a reality, providing impetus to economic growth. _________________ 1a Including notably the European Charter for researchers, the code of conduct for the recruitment of researchers, EURAXESS and RESAVER Pension Fund.

(5 a) As part of the annual reporting, in accordance with Article 45 [Regulation establishing the Horizon Europe Framework Programme], the Commission should carry, a robust consolidation exercise to identify whether the Programme’s climate expenditures is on track to achieve the 50 % target. The Commission should provide information on the scale and results of support to the climate change objectives, differentiating between mitigation and adaptation as well as provide information on the climate contribution of relevant financial instruments, and make this publicly available. In accordance with the Court of Auditor Report 31/2016, particular attention should be paid to the contribution by the bottom-up parts of the Programme, where the share of bottom- up actions that can be considered climate- related depends upon researcher proposals. If the Programme is achieving less than 50% climate-relevant spending, the Commission will respond either by requiring a sharper focus on climate in the Work Programmes of Pillar 2, by soliciting climate-relevance in the proposals submitted under Pillar 1 or Pillar 3 or by moving budgets to parts of the Programme with proven climate- relevance from parts that are not.

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – paragraph 1

The implementation of Horizon Europe's programme-level objectives in an integrated manner will be ensured by multiannual Strategic Planning. Such planning will provide the focus on impact for the Programme overall and coherence between its different pillars, as well as synergy with other EU programmes and support to and from other EU policies. is steered by an inclusive participatory and transparent strategic planning process of the research and innovation activities funded by the programme. The Strategic Planning process shall lead to the implementation of Horizon Europe's programme-level objectives thereby defining the funding priorities. It will provide focus on impact for the Programme and coherence between its different pillars, as well as synergy with other EU programmes and support to other EU policies and how to leverage additional private and public money. Notably, Strategic planning shall be consistent with the Paris Agreement and the Union’s climate related long-term objective and remaining carbon budget. The strategic planning process and the adoption of the strategic R&I plan through a delegated act shall increase ownership and understanding for the purpose of the programme by a wider public and will allow the co-legislators, stakeholders and Member States to be fully informed on the envisaged initiatives and to ensure that main European policies targets, are reflected in and supported by Horizon Europe, with adequate resources. The Strategic Planning will help to develop and implement policy for the relevant areas covered, at EU level as well as complementing policies in the Member States and ensuring a better coordination with the EU’s priorities. It will further take into account foresight activities, studies and other scientific evidence and take account of relevant existing initiatives at EU and national level. It will allow simplification of the funding landscape, avoid duplication and overlaps between funding possibilities while leveraging additional private and public funding and promote faster dissemination and uptake of research and innovation results. In order to respond to these objectives, the Commission will launch a mandatory multi-stakeholder open consultation phase with Member States, the European Parliament, stakeholders, including civil society organisations, about the strategic priorities, under the Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness pillar, and the suitable types of instruments, including missions and the European partnerships. All partnerships and missions or any other strategic new initiative shall be identified in this Strategic R&I Plan and be subject to mandatory multi-stakeholder consultation before being implemented in work programmes. Results of consultation with Member States, the European Parliament and stakeholders shall be divulgated before any decision on future priorities, for each relevant area, is taken. The strategic planning will promote strong engagement with citizens and civil society both within the strategic planning process itself and at all other stages of research and innovation, including agenda-setting. To facilitate this, a structured dialogue will be established with civil society. The process will also promote the co-creation of knowledge,effective promotion of gender equality, including the integration of the gender dimension in research and innovation content, and will ensure and promote Responsible Research and Innovation and adherence to the highest ethics and integrity standards. As regards European partnerships, the Strategic R&I Plan will outline and give the rationale for the creation, merge and phasing out of the European partnerships. Future partnerships funded under the second pillar ‘Global societal challenges and a net-zero GHG emission economy’, will in particular be assessed in terms of their potential to help deliver the SDGs and the Union’s climate related long-term objective and remaining carbon budget in consistency with the Paris Agreement. Building on experience in Horizon 2020, the social sciences and the humanities will be fully integrated across all clusters and work programmes, and through the development of social sciences oriented calls and specific and dedicated activities. On-going and new KICs will be defined in the legislative proposal for a Decision of the European Parliament and the Council on the EIT Strategic Innovation Agenda. Nevertheless, the creation of any new KIC should be subject to an additional and adequate funding, allowing the existing KICs to develop the ecosystems, build partnerships and pursue and implement efficiently their ambitious objectives. 'FET Flagships' supported under Horizon will continue to be supported under the Programme. As they present substantial analogies with missions, other 'FET flagships', if any, maybe be supported under this Framework Programme as missions geared towards future and emerging technologies. The missions should strengthen the collaborative aspects of the Programme. Where appropriate, the strategic planning process shall assess in how far European partnerships could work as supporting implementation pillars of the missions. The missions will have technological and societal elements and will be defined in close cooperation with allrelevant stakeholders, including civil society, and DGs. The Strategic Planning will identify existing links between Horizon Europe and other Union Programmes, which offer possibilities for synergies between EUfunds. Horizon Europe will become a point of reference for research and innovation in all related programmes across the EU budget and non-funding instruments, in order to help deliver the EU’s political priorities and objectives. This will also promote faster dissemination and uptake of research and innovation results and avoid duplication and overlaps between funding possibilities. It will provide the frame for linking the direct research actions of the Joint Research Centre and other actions supported under the Programme, including the use of results for support to policy.

As regards European partnerships, the Strategic R&I Plan will outline and give the rationale for the creation, merge and phasing out of the European partnerships. All well-established partnerships, such as the Joint Technology Initiatives, will be considered for continuation beyond 2020 due to their added-value in bringing and leveraging private investment and contribution to synergies of funds (i.e. Clean Sky has signed partnerships with 17 Member States and regions around Europe). As in Horizon 2020, proposals for Joint Undertakings will be presented as Council Regulations. On-going and new KICs will be defined in the legislative proposal for a Decision of the European Parliament and the Council on the EIT Strategic Innovation Agenda. Nevertheless, the creation of any new KIC should entail additional and adequate budgetary resources, not to undermine the objectives and the commitments of the existing KICs. 'FET Flagships' supported under Horizon (currently Graphene Flagship, Human Brain Project, Quantum Flagship) will continue to be supported under the Programme. As they present substantial analogies with missions, other 'FET flagships', if any, maybe be supported under this Framework Programme as missions geared towards future and emerging technologies. The missions should strengthen the collaborative aspects of the Programme and reinforce existing European partnerships, which could work as supporting implementation pillars of the missions. The missions will have technological and societal elements and will be defined in close cooperation with all relevant DGs. The Strategic Planning will identify existing links between Horizon Europe and other Union Programmes, including the Euratom programme, which offer possibilities for synergies between EU funds. Horizon Europe will become a point of reference for research and innovation in all related programmes across the EU budget and non-funding instruments. This will also promote faster dissemination and uptake of research and innovation results and avoid duplication and overlaps between funding possibilities.

Annex I – part I – paragraph 4

European ~~science and researcher~~researchers and their scientific products have been and continue to be at the forefront in many areas. But this is not a position wethat can be taken for granted. There is ample evidence to show that as the pace of research continues to grow, so the number of countries competing to be the best is increasing as well. The traditional challenge from countries such as the United States is now being joined by economic giants such as China ~~and Indi~~, India and South Korea, from the newly industrialising parts of the world in particular, and from all countries where governments recognise the manifold and abundant returns which derive from investing in research.

Amendment 624 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part I – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 2

The global research landscape is evolving dramatically and becoming increasingly multipolar as a result of a growing number of emerging countries, in particular China, expanding their scientific production. So whereas the EU and the United States accounted for nearly two-thirds of world expenditure on research and development in 2000, this share had fallen to less than half by 2013. The European Innovation Scoreboard 2018 confirmed that public R&D expenditures across the EU remains below 2010 levels and falls short in meeting the long-standing objective to devote 3% of GDP to R&D activities.

Amendment 627 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part I – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 4

Frontier research funded by the ERC ~~has~~should have a substantial ~~direct~~ impact in the form of advances at the frontiers of knowledge, opening the way to new and often unexpected scientific ~~and~~, technological and societal results and new areas for research. In turn, this may generates radically new ideas which drive innovation and business inventiveness and tackle societal challenges. The ERC also has a significant structural impact, driving up the quality of the European research system over and above the researchers and actions it funds directly. ERC-funded actions and researchers set an inspirational target for frontier research in Europe, raising its profile and making it more attractive for the best researchers worldwide as a place to work, and work with. The prestige of hosting ERC grant- holders creates competition between Europe's universities and research organisations to offer the most attractive conditions for top researchers and can indirectly help them to assess their relative strengths and weaknesses and bring about reforms.

Amendment 628 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part I – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 5

~~The gap between the research performance of the US and the EU countries has narrowed over the 10 years since the ERC was established.~~ The ERC funds a relatively small percentage of all European research, but from this achieves a disproportionally high scientific impact. The average citation impact of the research supported by the ERC is comparable to that of the world’s top elite research universities. The ERC’s research performance is ~~extremely high when compared with~~comparable to and sometimes higher than that of the world’s largest research funders. The ERC funds a great deal of frontier research in many of the research areas that have received the highest numbers of citations, including those areas that are rapidly emerging. ~~Although ERC funding is targeted to frontier research it has resulted in a substantial number of patents.~~

Amendment 629 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part I – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 6

So there is clear evidence that the ERC attracts and funds excellent researchers through its calls and that the ERC actions are producing a substantial number of the most significant and high impact research findings worldwide in emerging areas leading to breakthroughs and major advances. ~~The work of ERC grantees is also highly interdisciplinary and~~ ERC grantees collaborate internationally and publish their results openly across all fields of research, including the social sciences and humanities. The work of ERC grantees is expected also to become increasingly interdisciplinary.

There is also ~~already~~ evidence of the longer term impacts of ERC grants on careers, on training highly skilled ~~postdocs and PhD~~recognised researchers and doctoral degree holders, on raising the global visibility and prestige of European research and on national research systems through its strong benchmarking effect. This effect is particularly valuable in the EU's distributed excellence model because ERC funded status can replace and serve as a ~~more accurate~~reliable and simpler indicator of research quality than ~~recognition based on the status of institution~~other currently used indicators. This allows ambitious individuals, institutions, regions and countries to seize the initiative and scale up the research profiles in which they are particularly strong.

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+).

A healthy population is vital for a stable, sustainable and inclusive society, and improvements in health are crucial in reducing poverty, in fostering social progress and prosperity, and in increasing economic growth. According to the OECD a 10% improvement in life expectancy is also associated with a rise in economic growth of 0.3-0.4% a year. Life expectancy in the EU increased by 12 years since its establishment as a result of tremendous improvements achieved in the quality of life, ~~education, health and care of its people~~including education and health. In 2015, overall life expectancy at birth was 80.6 years in the EU compared to 71.4 years globally. In the past years, it increased in the EU on average by 3 months annually.

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

1.2.6 b. 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.

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). 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.deleted

Amendment 105 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 4 – point 4.1 – paragraph 2

To meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement the EU will need to transition to low-carbon, resource-efficient and resilient economies and societies. This will be based on profound changes in technology and services, to the ways in which businesses and consumers behave, as well as involving new forms of governance. Limiting the increase of global average temperature to well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C, requires rapid progress in decarbonising the energy system and substantially reducing greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions from the transport sector17 . It will also need new impetus to accelerate the pace of developing next-generation breakthroughs as well as demonstrating and deploying innovative technologies and solutions, using also the opportunities provided by digital and space technologies. This will be pursued through an integrated approach encompassing decarbonisation, resource efficiency, reduction of air pollution, access to raw materials and circular economy. All these changes will occur alongside a fair and adequate social transition, with emphasis being placed on the creation of those opportunities and new jobs in the hardest-hit areas, and on the importance of retraining for workers in the coal industry and the acquisition of new skills. _________________ 17 Substantial decarbonisation of other sectors is addressed in other areas of the Horizon Europe Global Challenges and Industrial Competitiveness pillar.

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 4 – point 4.1 – paragraph 6

Transport ensures the mobility of the people and goods necessary for an integrated European single market, for development, for territorial cohesion and an open and inclusive society. ~~At the same time,~~On the other hand, pollution from the transport sector has significant negative effects on human health, on congestion, on land, on air quality and noise, as well as on safety, resulting in numerous premature deaths and increased socio-economic costs. Therefore, sustainable mobility and transport networks need to become clean, safe, accessible for all users and modes of transport, smart, secure, silent, reliable and affordable, offering a seamless integrated and interconnected door-to-door service.

Amendment 107 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 4 – point 4.1 – paragraph 7

The issues faced by the transport and energy sectors go however beyond the need for emission reduction. There are several challenges to be tackled, including the increasing penetration of digital and space-based technologies, changes in user behaviour and mobility patterns, new market entrants and disruptive business models, globalisation, increasing international competition and an older, more urban and increasingly diverse, population, as well as a rural and suburban population which is being isolated and needs accessible transport.

It is estimated that by 2050, more than 80% of the EU'’s population will live in urban areas, consuming the lion'’s share of available resources, including energy~~, and being areas~~; these areas will furthermore be particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of meteorological change ~~impacts worsen by~~, which are already worsening as a result of climate change and natural disasters, a~~lready now and~~nd will become increasingly bad in the future. A key challenge is to significantly increase the overall energy and resource efficiency as well as climate- resilience of Europe'’s cities in a holistic fashion, targeting the building stock, energy systems, mobility, climate change, as well as water, soil, air quality, waste and noise. Synergies with ERDF- funded urban policy and actions should be investigated and exploited. Furthermore, special attention will need to be paid to the mobility and security of the remaining 20% of the EU population living in rural and remote areas, looking into the most efficient and effective strategies in the both the transport sector (infrastructure, smart and interconnected mobility) and the energy sector to ensure optimum security when it comes to logistics and energy.

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+).

Amendment 71 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part I – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 7

The MSCA contribute to making the ERA more effective, competitive and attractive on a global scale. This ~~can be~~is achieved by focusing on a new generation of highly- skilled researchers and providing support for emerging talent from across the EU and beyond; by fostering the diffusion and application of new knowledge and ideas to European policies, the economy and society, inter alia through improved science communication and public outreach measures; by facilitating cooperation between research- performing organisations; and by having a pronounced structuring impact on the ERA, advocating an open labour market and setting standards for quality training, attractive employment conditions and open transparent and merit-based recruitment for all researchers.

The overall aim is to ~~endow Europe~~improve 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.

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part I – paragraph 2

~~Open and e~~Excellent science is inextricably linked to the achievement of world leading innovation. Scientific and technological paradigm shifts have been identified as key drivers for productivity growth, competitiveness, wealth, sustainable development and social progress. Such paradigm shifts have historically tended to originate from the public-sector science base before going on to lay the foundations for whole new industries and sectors.

Amendment 114 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part I – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 5

The gap between the research performance of the US and the EU countries has narrowed over the 10 years since the ERC was established. The ERC funds a relatively small percentage of all European research, but from this achieves a disproportionally high scientific impact. The average citation impact of the research supported by the ERC is comparable to that of the world’s top elite research universities. The ERC’s research performance is extremely high when compared with the world’s largest research funders. The ERC funds a great deal of frontier research in many of the research areas that have received the highest numbers of citations, including those areas that are rapidly emerging. Although ERC funding is targeted to frontier research it has resulted in a substantial number of patents. However, to ensure open data and public return on public investment, patenting results obtained from the Framework Programme should be strongly restricted.

Amendment 117 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part I – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 2

The overall aim is to endow Europe 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, avoiding duplication of effort, and better coordinate the development and use of research infrastructures. It is crucial to ~~support~~guarantee 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 118 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part I – point 3 – point 3.2 – point 3.2.1 – paragraph 2

The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) should become an effective and comprehensive delivery channel for research infrastructures services and should provide Europe’s research communities with the next generation of data services for harvesting, storing, processing (e.g. analytics, simulation, visualisation services) and sharing big science data. The EOSC should also provide researchers in Europe with access to ~~the majority of~~all data generated and collected by research infrastructures as well as to HPC and exascale resources deployed under the European Data Infrastructure (EDI)13 . _________________ 13 The European Data Infrastructure will underpin the European Open Science cloud by providing world-class High Performance Computing capability, high speed connectivity and leading-edge data and software services.

Amendment 119 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 3

Health research and innovation research and innovation have played a significant part in this achievement but also in improving productivity and quality in the health and care industry. However, the EU continues to face novel, newly emerging or persisting challenges that are threatening its citizens and public health, the sustainability of its health care and social protection systems, as well as the competitiveness of its health and care industry. Major health challenges in the EU include: the lack of effective health promotion and disease prevention; the rise of non-communicable diseases; the spread of antimicrobial drug resistance and the emergence of infectious epidemics; increased environmental pollution; the persistence of health inequalities among and within countries affecting disproportionally people that are disadvantaged or in vulnerable stages of life; the detection, understanding, control, prevention and mitigation of health risks in a rapidly changing social, urban and natural environment; the increasing costs for European health care systems and the progressive introduction of personalised medicine approaches and digitalisation in health and care; and the increasing pressure on the European health and care industry to remain competitive in and by developing health innovation vis-a-vis new and emerging global players. Globally, deaths from preventable diseases remain unacceptably high, particularly for children. Access to essential medicines remains out of reach for many in the developing world, due to prohibitively high costs, or because insufficient investment has been made into tackling neglected diseases. Health research under Horizon Europe must be driven by the principles of the Doha Declaration on the TRIPS Agreement and Public Health to increase research into neglected diseases, ensure global access to essential medicines, recognise the right to healthcare as a human right, and stimulate new funding mechanisms to encourage greater collaborative efforts to tackle global health challenges in Europe and the developing world.

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 3

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.deleted

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). 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.deleted

Amendment 143 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 2 – point 2.2 – point 2.2.1 – paragraph 1

Trust in democracy and political institutions seems to be receding. Disenchantment with politics is increasingly articulated by anti- establishment and populist parties and a resurgent nativism. This is compounded by socio-economic inequalities, ~~high~~ migration flows and security concerns. Responding to present and future challenges requires new thinking on how democratic institutions at all levels must adapt in a context of greater diversity, global economic competition, rapid technological advancements and digitisation, with citizens’ experience of democratic discourses and institutions being crucial.

2 a. CLUSTER ‘RESILIENT SOCIETY’ 2a.1 Rationale The European Union, its citizen and its international partners are confronted with a range of security threats and challenges like organised crime, terrorism, violent extremism, ethnic and political conflict, root causes of armed conflict and forced migration and mass emergencies due to man-made or natural disasters. These challenges can span across borders and affect physical or the cyberspace. As society and the economy are increasingly digitalise, they also become more vulnerable to cybercrime, which may seriously affect major critical infrastructure, such as in the energy, transport, health, finance or telecommunications sectors. At the same time fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons and in particular their right to privacy is key in the EU. 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. Moreover, further efforts are required to tackle climate change. The observed changes in climate are already having wide-ranging impacts on ecosystems, societies, human health and well-being. The effects on lives and livelihoods of extreme weather events, such as floods, storms or droughts leading to forest fires, land degradation and other natural disasters, e.g. earthquakes, are intensifying. 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 development of new concepts but also to the capability development process by enabling the future availability of technologies and applications to fill capability gaps identified by policy-makers and practitioners, experts, and end-users, public authorities, academia and civil society. 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). The Horizon Europe Programme shall exclusively focus on civil research and applications, any defence-related research and innovation activities or civilian- military dual-use technologies shall be excluded under this Programme. The close involvement of citizen’s and civils society organisations and political, academia and in particular social and human science in the security research area will be an essential element and will help to map present research efforts, and improve the relevance of activities pursued and the full respect of fundamental rights, human rights, international humanitarian law and liberties of citizens. Public security authorities and civil society shall be encouraged to participate in Union research and innovation efforts to further their capabilities to cooperate and communicate at all appropriate levels, to exchange data, to benefit from common standards in technologies, procedures, equipment, and up-to-date results in conflict and crime related sciences, training, and supporting advantages of expert knowledge Research under this cluster aims at addressing societal security and resilience in a holistic manner with the concept of human security at its centre. [2a.2] 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, etc. The aim is to prevent and reduce the loss of life, harm to health and the environment, economic and material damage from disasters, ensure food security as well as to improve the understanding and reduction of disaster risks and post-disaster lesson learning. Broad Lines – Basic research on relevant phenomena and their mechanisms, methods of data gathering, analytical tools and concepts including technologies and capabilities to support different types of emergency management operations; – Technologies and capabilities for first responders for emergency operations in crisis and disaster situations; – The capacities of society to better manage and reduce disaster risk, including through nature-based solutions, by enhancing prevention, preparedness and response to existing and new risks including nuclear detonations; – Interoperability of equipment and procedures to facilitate cross-border operational cooperation for disaster response. [2a.3.] Enhancing human security, protecting freedom and civil liberties There is a need to protect citizens from and to respond to security threats from criminals including terrorist activities and hybrid threats; to protect people and to understand and tackle the causes of terrorist ideas and beliefs; to prevent harm and support victims of random act of violence, organised crime and state sponsored harmful activities; and to defend democratic societies and the rule of law, in particular human rights, fundamental rights and civil liberties; Broad Lines – Innovative use of current resources and better training and technologies for security practitioners (such as police forces, border and coast guards, customs offices), teachers and social workers, public health practitioners, operators of infrastructure and those managing open spaces; – Human and social dimensions of criminality and violent radicalisation, in relation to those engaged or potentially engaged in such behaviour as well as to those affected or potentially affected; social and educational policies to encounter these tendencies and preventing the radicalisation into political violence and channelling social discontent into peaceful, democratic protest and dialogue; – The understanding and sensibilisation of citizens, public authorities and industry to prevent the creation of new security risks, to reduce existing risks and the consequences of the materialisation of risks; – Combatting disinformation and fake news with implications for security without homogenisation of beliefs, views, narratives and reducing pluralism; – Interoperability of equipment and procedures to facilitate cross-border and inter-agency operational cooperation, with the exception of dual use technologies, and develop an integrated EU market including strict export control of technologies which could be used for mass surveillance, manipulation and espionage. – Ensuring the protection of personal data in law enforcement activities, in particular in view of rapid technological developments. 2a.4 Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding Research is needed to support policymakers in designing policies that follow the Union’s aim to promote peace. Such research shall in particular feed into the implementation and the adaptation of the broad external action of the Union to prevent the development of various forms of divisions, conflict and political and social exclusion, discrimination and inequalities, such as gender and intergenerational inequalities, discrimination due to disability or ethnic origin, or digital or innovation divides, in European societies and in other regions of the world. The focus of activities shall be to understand and foster or implement Europe’s role as a global actor, notably regarding human rights and global justice; Basic research on relevant phenomena and their mechanisms, methods of data gathering and new technologies, capabilities and solutions are required to support the Union’s external policies in civilian tasks across the conflict cycle, ranging from conflict prevention, mediation, crisis management, peace-building, post- conflict and reconciliation. Those actions also have to be linked to other EU internal and external policies. Assessing the EU’s policies impact and perception is key in order to adjust and adapt the Union engagement with its partners and local population, in particular in conflict- affected settings. Further research into the implementation outcome of, inter alia, EU’s trade, migration, foreign and security or development policies will contribute to ensure EU’s effectiveness in its Integrated Approach to conflict and crises. This will also require research on conflict resolution and restoration of peace and justice, on early identification of factors leading to conflict, factors of resilience and peace, as well as on the impact of restorative justice processes. Interoperability between civilian and military capabilities in civilian tasks will also be sought. Further research is also needed to understand the socioeconomic, cultural, and anthropological dimensions of human security, the causes of insecurity, the role of media and communication and the citizen’s perceptions, access to and exclusion from power, institutional weaknesses and resilience, systemic corruption as well as on factors contributing to peace. Broad Lines – Understand and foster or implement Europe’s role as a global actor, notably regarding human rights and global justice; – Strengthening the development of Conflict Analysis and Conflict sensitivity methodologies, in particular with the view of enhancing its use across the EU institutions; – Understand and strengthen resilience and peace factors in conflict and post- conflict settings; – Understand and strengthen inclusivity in governance, in particular in conflict prevention, conflict resolution, mediation and formal or non-formal post-conflict institutional building; – Measuring and evaluating effects of EU’s policies and actions in conflict- affected settings; – Operationalisation of the Integrated Approach and link between security, migration, trade and other polices of the EU.

Amendment 149 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.1 – paragraph 1

Human activities are exerting increasing pressure on soils, seas and oceans, water, air, biodiversity and other natural resources. Nourishing the planet’s growing population is directly dependent on the health of natural systems and resources. However, combined with climate change, humanity’s growing demand for natural resources creates environmental pressures that go far beyond sustainable levels, affecting ecosystems and inhibiting their capacity to provide services ~~for human well-being~~maintaining human well-being in the long term. Any production system that degradates the natural will not be sustainable, nor productive in the long-term and therefore not competitive. A functioning and prosperous ecosystem is the very basis for all resource utilization. Recognising the link between degradation of the natural resource base, including biodiversity, and the functioning of natural and semi- natural ecosystems to provide essential services to society and acting on solutions proposed as a result of that science is crucial. The concepts of the circular economy, thagroecology, sustainable bioeconomy and ~~the~~ blue economy provide an opportunity to balance environmental, social and economic goals and to set human activities on a path to sustainability.

Amendment 15 #

It shall contribute to outreach actions, with EIC Board members striving to enhance the prestige of the EIC brand.

Amendment 150 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.1 – paragraph 1

Human activities are exerting increasing pressure on soils, seas and oceans, water, air, biodiversity and other natural resources. Nourishing the planet’s growing population is directly dependent on the health of natural systems and resources. However, combined with climate change, humanity’s growing demand for natural resources creates environmental pressures that go far beyond sustainable levels, affecting ecosystems and their capacity to provide services for human well-being. Growth in food production is not matching growth in global population. This requires breakthroughs in intensification of production. The concepts of the circular economy, the bioeconomy and the blue economy provide an opportunity to balance environmental, social and economic goals and to set human activities on a path to sustainability. At the same time, we must ensure nutrition and health are central to how our food production systems are implemented.

Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.1 – paragraph 5

They will also foster participatory approaches to research and innovation, including the multi-actor approach, including civil society organisations, and develop knowledge and innovation systems at local, regional, national and European levels. Including all actors along the agri- food supply chain in the co-creation and sharing of knowledge plays a central role in the process of developing and implementing agroecological innovations to address challenges across food systems including adaptation to climate change. Social innovation with citizens’ engagement ~~and trust in innovation~~ will be crucial to encourage new governance, production and consumption patterns.

Article 12 a (new)

Article 12 a Digitalisation Digitisation is a major driver. As it continues at a rapid pace across all sectors, investment in priority areas ranging from artificial intelligence to next generation internet, high performance computing, photonics and nano- electronics, becomes essential for the strength of our economy and the sustainability of our society. Investing, producing and using ICT provides a major boost to EU economic growth, amounting to an increase of 30% between 2001 and 2011 alone. Key enabling technologies underpin the blending of the digital and the physical worlds, central to this new global wave of innovation. Investing in the development, demonstration and deployment of key enabling technologies, and ensuring a secure, sustainable and affordable supply of raw and advanced materials, will secure EU strategic autonomy and help EU industry to significantly reduce its carbon and environmental footprints

Bio-based innovation lays the foundations for the transition away from a fossil-based economy by encompassing the sustainable sourcing, industrial processing and conversion of biomass from land and sea into bio-based materials and products. It also capitalises on the potential of living resources, life sciences and industrial biotechnology for new discoveries, products and processes. Bio-based innovation, including technologies, can bring new economic activities and employment to regions and cities, contribute to revitalising rural and coastal economies and strengthen the circularity of the bioeconomy.

This will also promote faster dissemination and uptake of research and innovation results and avoid duplication and overlaps between funding possibilities. It will provide the frame for linking the direct research actions of the Joint Research Centre and other actions supported under the Programme, including the use of results for support to policy.

Amendment 20 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part I – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 1

Although the EU remains the largest producer of scientific publications in the world, it is essentially a 'mass producer' of knowledge with, relative to its size, comparatively few centres of excellence that stand out at the world level and with large areas of average and poor performance. Compared with the US and now China to some degree, the EU still tends to follow a 'distributed excellence model' in which resources are spread across a larger number of researchers and research institutions, not a problem in itself, but which could be reinforced with the addition of centres of excellence, transparently and objectively chosen. Another challenge is that in many EU countries the public sector still does not offer sufficiently attractive conditions for the best researchers. These factors compound Europe's relative unattractiveness in the global competition for scientific talent.

Amendment 21 #

The MSCA ~~are the main instrument at EU-level for attracting researchers from third countries to Europe, thus making~~make a major contribution to global cooperation in research and innovation. Evidence shows that the MSCA not only have a positive impact on individuals, organisations, and at system level, but also yield high-impact and breakthrough research results while at the same time contributing significantly to societal as well as strategic challenges. Long-term investment in people pays off, as indicated by the number of Nobel Prize winners who have been either former MSCA fellows or supervisors.

Amendment 26 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part I – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 6

Through global research competition between scientists and between host organisations from both the academic and non-academic sector, and through the creation and sharing of high-quality knowledge across countries, sectors and disciplines, the MSCA contribute notably to the goals of the 'Jobs, growth and investment' agenda, the EU Global Strategy and to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Attention must also be given to the fact, however, that infinite growth in a finite planet is simply not achievable, and thus more research is also needed in the field of a true 'circular economy', with an emphasis on reuse, repair, recycle.

Amendment 27 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – paragraph 1

Many of the challenges which confront the EU are also global challenges. The scale and complexity of the problems are vast, and need to be matched by the appropriate money, resources and effort in order to find solutions. These are precisely the areas where the EU must work together; smart, flexible and joined-up for the benefit and well-being of our citizens. In this regard, research is needed into the negative as well as the positive effects of the many proposed major trade deals currently being negotiated/agreed by the Union, especially in the area of increased environmental damage caused by the inevitible increase of global transport on land, sea and air, and on the possible centralisation of production and manufacturing, including in the area of food production, processing and retailing.

Amendment 28 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 1

The EU Pillar of Social Rights asserts that everyone has the right to timely access to affordable-for-all, preventive and curative health care of good quality.

Amendment 30 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 1

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.

Amendment 31 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 2

The EU must promote a model of inclusive and sustainable growth while reaping the benefits of technological advancements, enhancing trust in and promoting innovation of democratic governance, combatting inequalities, unemployment, marginalisation, discrimination and radicalisation, ~~guaranteeing human rights,~~ fostering cultural diversity and European cultural heritage and empowering citizens through social innovation. The management of migration and ~~the inte~~remigration of migrants will also continue to be priority issues. The role of research and innovation in the social sciences and the humanities in responding to these challenges and achieving the EU’s goals is fundamental.

Amendment 32 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 3

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, whilst also guarding against over-stepping the bounds on Human Rights (including freedom-of-speech, right to privacy, etc), 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.

Amendment 33 #

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 5

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). ~~Synergies are sought with the activities supported by EU- funded defence research and duplication of funding is avoid~~Defence-based research funding is explicitly prohibited. Cross- border collaboration contributes to developing a European single security market and improving industrial performance, underpinning the EU's autonomy.
