Annex 1 – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 5
Detailed priority setting during implementation of Horizon 2020 will entail a strategic approach to programming of research, using modes of governance aligning closely with policy development yet cutting across the boundaries of traditional sectoral policies. In order to improve the governance structure, it is necessary to demonstrate to what extent local and other stakeholders and civil society representatives are involved in bottom-up processes, work programmes and decision-making. This will be based on sound evidence, analysis and foresight, with progress measured against a robust set of performance indicators. This cross- cutting approach to programming and governance will allow effective coordination between all of Horizon 2020‘'s specific objectives and will allow to address challenges which cut across them, such as for instance sustainability, climate change or marine sciences and technologies. Horizon 2020 will be targeted towards activities where intervention at Union level brings added value above intervention at national or regional level by creating economies of scale and critical mass, reducing fragmentation and ensuring a Union-wide dissemination of results. Effective use of RIS3 strategies (national/regional innovation strategies for smart specialisation) is necessary. These activities are mainly transnational, pre- competitive, collaborative projects and they shall comprise the majority of the total combined budget for the priority "Societal challenges" and the specific objective on "Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies".

Annex 1 – section 2 – point 1 – paragraph 4
Annex 1 – section 2 – point 1 – paragraph 4
A major component of ‘Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologies’ are Key Enabling Technologies (KETs), defined as micro- and nanoelectronics, photonics, nanotechnology, biotechnology, watertechnolgies, advanced materials and advanced manufacturing systems20 . Many innovative products incorporate several of these technologies simultaneously, as single or integrated parts. While each technology offers technological innovation, the accumulated benefit from combining a number of enabling technologies can also lead to technological leaps. Tapping into cross-cutting key enabling technologies will enhance product competitiveness and impact. The numerous interactions of these technologies will therefore be exploited. Dedicated support will be provided for larger-scale pilot line and demonstrator projects.

Clinical trials are the means to transfer biomedical knowledge to application in patients and support for these will be provided, as well as for the improvement of their practice. Examples include the development of better methodologies to allow trials to focus on relevant population groups, including those suffering from other concomitant diseases and/or already undergoing treatment, the determination of comparative effectiveness of interventions and solutions, as well as enhancing the use of databases and electronic health records as data sources for trials and knowledge transfer. Similarly, support for the transfer of other types of interventions such as those related to independent living into real world environments will be provided. Particular importance will be given to clinical tests in the field of rare diseases and child illnesses including those associated with premature birth.

Annex 1 – section 3 – point 2 – point 2.1 – point 2.1.1 – paragraph 2
Multi-disciplinary approaches will be sought to improve the performance of plants, animals, micro-organisms, while ensuring efficient resource use (water, nutrients, energy) and the ecological integrity of rural areas. Emphasis will be placed on integrated and diverse production systems and agronomic practices, including the use of precision technologies and ecological intensification approaches to benefit both conventional and organic agriculture. Genetic improvement of plants and animals for adaptation and productivity traits will call for all appropriated conventional and modern breeding approaches and for a better use of genetic resources. Due attention will be given to on-farm soil management for increasing soil fertility as a basis for crop productivity and to minimise losses of ground, surface and underground water resources. Animal and plant health will be promoted and integrated disease/pest control measures will be further developed. Strategies for the eradication of animal diseases including zoonoses will be tackled along with research on antimicrobial resistance. Studying the effects of practices on animal welfare will help meet societal concerns. The above listed areas will be underpinned by more fundamental research to address relevant biological questions as well as to support the development and implementation of Union policies.

Annex 1 – section 3 – point 2 – point 2.2 – point 2.2.3 – paragraph 1
The needs for the food and feed industry to cope with social, environmental, climate and economic change from local to global will be addressed at all stages of the food and feed production chain, including agricultural production, food design, processing, packaging, process control, waste reduction, by-product valorisation and the safe use or disposal of animal by- products. Innovative and sustainable resource-efficient processes and diversified, safe, affordable and high quality products will be generated. This will strengthen the innovation potential of the European food supply chain, enhance its competitiveness, create economic growth and employment and allow the European food industry to adapt to changes. Other aspects to address are traceability, logistics and services, socio- economic factors, the resilience of the food chain against environmental and climate risks, and the limitation of negative impacts of food chain activities and of changing diets and production systems on the environment.
