Proposal for a decision
Recital 5 a (new)

(5 a) Horizon Europe gives high importance to the links between inclusive societies, R&I and societal challenges. The gender dimension is crucial to design inclusive societies as well as to produce responsible R&I, and constitutes a societal challenge in itself as stated in the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Gender impact should be addressed in any social and industrial transformation. This requires ensuring that gender will be appropriately integrated in all the instruments of Horizon Europe, from pillars, misions, clusters or international cooperation, to open science and open data.

Proposal for a decision
Recital 7 a (new)

(7 a) Our future is intimately linked to the future of the seas, oceans and coasts. The seas, oceans and coasts provide multiple ecosystem services and a wealth of resources, influence climate and provide many economic opportunities. The concept Blue Economy (every economic activity associated to oceans, seas, ports and coastal areas) was defined by the European Commission in its report in September 2012 Communication from the Commission: Blue Growth opportunities for marine and maritime sustainable growth. Horizon Europe will give special attention to activities related to the Blue Economy in all pillars with special focus on clusters ‘Food and Natural Resources'.

Committee: ITRE

Patrizia TOIA

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, access to and use of research infrastructures. It is 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 of innovative solutions.

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.deleted

2018/09/12
Committee: ITRE

Patrizia TOIA

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 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

Patrizia TOIA

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 4

The magnitude, complexity and trans- national character of the challenges call multi-layered EU action. Addressing such critical social, political, cultural and economic issues, as well as security challenges, only at national level would carry the danger of inefficient use of resources, fragmented approaches and dissimilar standards of knowledge and capacity.(Does not affect the English version.)

Committee: ITRE

Patrizia TOIA

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 avoided. Cross-border collaboration contributes to developing a European single security market and improving industrial performance, underpinning the EU's autonomy.deleted

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.

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. 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. 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. – Technologies and actions to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change 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 communities, public spaces and essential infrastructure, both from physical attack (including CBRN-E attacks):chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear or with IEDs) and cyber attack;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. 3.

Primary raw materials will continue to play an important role in the circular economy and attention must be paid to their sustainable production. In addition, entirely new materials, products and processes should be designed for circularity. Building a circular industry will have several advantages for Europe: It will lead to a secure, sustainable and affordable supply of raw materials, which will in turn protect both the industry against scarcity of resources and price volatility and the environment against the loss of non-renewable resources. It will also create new business opportunities and innovative, more efficient ways of producing.

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 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.

To fully harness the potential of innovation involving researchers, entrepreneurs, industry and society at large, the EU must improve the environment within which innovation can flourish at all levels. This will mean contributing to the development of an effective innovation ecosystem at EU level, and encouraging cooperation, networking, and the exchange of ideas, funding and skills among national and local innovation ecosystems, as well as encouraging collaboration among innovation centres already recognised at national and local level (DIHs, competence centres, certified incubators, science and technology parks).

Annex I – part III – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 1

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,
