Annex 1 – point 1 – point 1.3 – paragraph 2
In accordance with Article 18 of Horizon 2020, dedicated measures as set out in the specific objective ‘Innovation in SMEs’ (dedicated SME instrument) shall be applied in the specific objective ‘Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies’ and Part III ‘Societal challenges’. This integrated approach is expected to lead to around 15 % of their total combined budgets goAt least 20% of the total combined budget for the specific objective on 'Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies' and the priority 'Societal challenges' shall be used withing tohe SMEs instrument.
Amendment 378 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – section 1 – point 1 – paragraph 2
Annex 1 – section 1 – point 1 – paragraph 2
In order to stimulate substantial advances at the frontiers of knowledge, the ERC will support individual teams to carry out research in any field of basic scientific and technological research which falls within the scope of Horizon 2020, including engineering, social sciences and the humanities, and will issue specific calls for proposals in which the basic rule will be that the excellent researchers sought may not carry out their research in their country of origin and grants will not be portable to the country of origin. As appropriate, specific research topics or target groups (e.g. new generation researchers/emerging teams) may be taken into account, following the objectives of the ERC and needs for efficient implementation. Particular attention will be paid to emerging and fast- growing areas at the frontier of knowledge, and at the interface between disciplines.
Amendment 446 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – section 1 – point 4 – point 4.1 – point 4.1.2 – paragraph 2
Annex 1 – section 1 – point 4 – point 4.1 – point 4.1.2 – paragraph 2
The Union will support networks that bring together and integrate, on European scale, key national both theoretical and applied research infrastructures. Funding will be provided to support, in particular, the trans- national and virtual access of researchers and the harmonisation and improvement of the services the infrastructures provide. Around one hundred networks of infrastructures in all fields of science and technology would require such support, with up to twenty thousands researchers per year benefitting from access to these facilities.
Amendment 462 #
Proposal for a decision
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, advanced materials and advanced manufacturing systems20 . Many innovative products incorporate several of these technologies simultaneously, as single or integrated parts, as well as a huge amount of outcomes from basic scientific research, in particular from mathematics. While each technology offers technological innovation, the accumulated benefit from combining a number of enabling technologies and mathematical tools 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 and basic scientific results will therefore be exploited. Dedicated support will be provided for larger-scale pilot line and demonstrator projects.
Amendment 482 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – section 2 – point 1 – point 1.1 – point 1.1.4 – paragraph 1
Annex 1 – section 2 – point 1 – point 1.1 – point 1.1.4 – paragraph 1
The objective is to provide professionals and citizens with new tools to create, exploit and preserve all forms of digital content in any language and to model, analyse, and visualise vast amounts of data, including linked data. This includes new technologies for language, learning, interaction, digital preservation, cultural resource access, content access and analytics; intelligent information management systems based on advanced data mining, machine learning, statistical analysis and visual computing technologies.
Amendment 504 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – section 2 – point 1 – point 1.3 – point 1.3.5 – paragraph 1
Annex 1 – section 2 – point 1 – point 1.3 – point 1.3.5 – paragraph 1
Applying design and the development of converging technologies to create new business opportunities, including the preservation of Europe's materials with historical or cultural value. Protecting the cultural heritage: assessment, monitoring and choice of conservation materials and techniques, with reference to the environment and energy management, use and maintenance, and integration into contemporary and historical urban surroundings and archaeological and cultural contexts.
Amendment 569 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – section 2 – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 4
Annex 1 – section 2 – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 4
The SME instrument will cover all fields of science, technology and innovation in a bottom-up approach with open calls (no predefined call topics) within a given societal challenge or enabling technology so as to leave sufficient room for all kinds of promising ideas, notably cross-sector and inter-disciplinary projects, to be funded.
Amendment 573 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – section 2 – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 5 – indent 3 – paragraph 1 a (new)
Annex 1 – section 2 – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 5 – indent 3 – paragraph 1 a (new)
The SME instrument may also be used to provide funding for micro, small and medium-sized firms which lack the human and financial resources to take on the technical risks arising from applied research, through European applied research institutes, which will cooperate with individual firms on jointly agreed applied research projects, bearing the costs and risks of that research, on the basis of a binding commitment to make industrial use of the results obtained. In such cases, penalties will be payable if a firm fails to abide by the industrialisation commitment and, possibly, royalties will be paid by the firm holding the industrial exploitation rights.
Amendment 612 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – section 3 – point 1 – point 1.3 – paragraph 1
Annex 1 – section 3 – point 1 – point 1.3 – paragraph 1
Human populations are under threat from new and emerging infections (including those resulting from climate change), from drug resistance to existing pathogens and from other direct and indirect consequences of climate change. IPredictive mathematical theories and improved methods for surveillance, early warning networks, health service organisation and preparedness campaigns are needed for the modelling of epidemics, for effective pandemic response, for responses to non infectious disease consequences of climate change, as are efforts to maintain and enhance capabilities to combat drug resistant infectious disease.
Amendment 909 #
Proposal for a decision
