Amendment 42 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5 a (new)
(5a) A decisive factor for a region's development is its capacity for innovation, which in turn depends heavily on research and development. The lack of outstanding research facilities that might attract both top international scientists and their own next generation of researchers poses a serious barrier to development in many regions. Almost all of Europe's regions have a successful diaspora of scientists working at the best research institutions in the world, including outside Europe. It will benefit the whole European Innovation Union if these talented people return. The ERDF should therefore support all the efforts made by the regions to set up such research institutions in an innovation- friendly environment. All possible synergies with 'Horizon 2020' should be exploited, in particular where regions apply for support under the 'Horizon 2020' programme by, for example, taking part in a competition for the creation of outstanding research institutions alongside an existing top research body. It is only through such measures that new institutions can become centres of gravity that will attract innovative enterprises and develop into a nucleus for research and innovation clusters.

Amendment 76 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5 a (new)
(5a) A region’s capacity for innovation is crucial for its development, and in turn is strongly dependent on research and development. For many regions, the absence of excellent research institutions which are attractive to top-level international scientists and young home- grown scientists is a severe obstacle to development. At the same time, almost every region in Europe has a successful scientific diaspora at the world’s best research institutions, including outside Europe. It would be beneficial for the European Innovation Union as a whole if this talent were to return. For this reason, the ERDF should support all efforts by the regions to establish such research institutions in an environment favourable to innovation. In particular, if regions seek funding under ‘Horizon 2020’, by inter alia participating together with an existing top-level research institution in a competition for the establishment of centres of excellence, all possible synergies with ‘Horizon 2020’ should be exploited. Only in this way can the new institutions become centres of gravity, attracting innovative enterprises and becoming the core of research and innovation clusters.
