Amendment 623 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part I – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 1
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 standout 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 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. Consequently, Horizon Europe should be designed with the purpose of further advancing European excellence.
Amendment 650 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part I – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 1
Annex I – part I – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 1
Europe needs a highly-skilled and resilient human capital base in research and innovation that can easily adapt to and find sustainable solutions for future challenges, such as major demographic changes in Europe. To ensure excellence, researchers need to be mobile, have full access to top quality infrastructure, collaborate and diffuse knowledge across countries, sectors and disciplines, with the right combination of knowledge and skills to tackle societal challenges and support innovation.
Amendment 656 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part I – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 4
Annex I – part I – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 4
The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) focus on excellent research that is fully bottom-up, open to any field of research and innovation from basic research up to market take-up and innovation services. This includes research fields covered under the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom). If specific needs arise and aAdditional funding sources that become available, the MSCA may target certain activities in specific challenges (incl. identified missions), types of research and innovation institutions, or geographical locations in order to respond to the evolution of Europe's requirements in terms of skills, research training, career development and knowledge sharing shall be used to this end.
Amendment 659 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part I – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 5
Annex I – part I – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 5
The MSCA are the main instrument at EU- level for attracting researchers from third countries to Europe, thus making a major contribution to European scientific and economic competitiveness and 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.

Annex I – part I – point 2 – point 2.2 – point 2.2.1 – introductory part
2.2.1. Nurturing Excellence through Mobility of Researchers across Borders, Sectors and Disciplines, including access to research infrastructure
Amendment 666 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part I – point 2 – point 2.2 – point 2.2.1 – paragraph 1
Annex I – part I – point 2 – point 2.2 – point 2.2.1 – paragraph 1
The EU must remain a reference for excellent research and thus attractive for the most promising researchers, European and non-European alike, at all stages of their careers. This can be achieved by enabling researchers and research-related staff to move and collaborate between countries, sectors and disciplines and allow them to access top quality infrastructure, thus benefit from high- quality training and career opportunities. This will facilitate career moves between the academic and non-academic sector as well as stimulate entrepreneurial activity.
Amendment 667 #

Annex I – part I – point 2 – point 2.2 – point 2.2.1 – paragraph 2 – indent 1
– Mobility experiences within or outside Europe for the best or most promising researchers regardless of nationality to undertake excellent research and develop their skills as well as career in both the academic and non-academic sector, including access to research infrastructure.
Amendment 697 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part I – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 3
Annex I – part I – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 3
Past framework programmes have made a significant contribution towards the more efficient and effective use of national infrastructures as well as developed with the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) a coherent and strategy-led approach to policy making on pan-European research infrastructures. This strategic approach has generated clear advantages, including reducing duplication of effort with more efficient overall use of resources, as well as standardising processes and procedures. To make efficient use of research infrastructure, facilitating research mobility is vital.
