(2) In particular, European Partnerships in the Horizon Europe pillar ’Global challenges and European industrial competitiveness’ are expected to play an important role in achieving the strategic objectives of accelerating the transitions towards sustainable development goals and a green and digital Europe and in contributing to recovery, promoting the energy efficiency first principle and the use of renewable energy sources and by tackling global societal changes, including the Sustainable Development Goals and commitments under Paris Agreement.10 European Partnerships are key to address complex cross-border challenges that require an integrated approach. They make it possible to address the transformational, systematic and market failures by bringing together a broad range of players across the value chains and industrial ecosystems to work towards a common vision and translating it into concrete roadmaps and a coordinated implementation of activities. Furthermore, they allow concentrating efforts and resources on common priorities to solve the complex challenges ahead. _________________ 10European Commission (2018), Horizon Europe Impact Assessment, SWD(2018) 307

(3) To deliver on priorities and impact, European Partnerships should be developed through a broad involvement of relevant stakeholders, social partners across Europe, including industry, research organisations, bodies with a public service mission at local, regional, national or international level, and civil society organisations such as foundations that support and/or carry out research and innovation. These European Partnerships should also be one of the measures to strengthen cooperation and synergies between private and/or public sector partners at the international level, including by joining up research and innovation programmes and cross-border investment in research and innovation, bringing mutual benefits to people and businesses.

(10) The Metrology Partnership, aligned with the political priorities of the Commission (including the European Green Deal, an economy that works for people, and a Europe fit for the digital age) should be implemented over a period of ten years (from 2021 to 2031). The programme should include new activities compared to the EMPIR initiative under Horizon 2020, and in particular, the development of European metrology networks, which will respond to pressing societal and environmental challenges and metrology needs from emerging technologies. The metrology capacity provided through these networks should be equivalent and comparable to the other world leading metrology systems, demonstrating world class excellence. COpen and transparent calls for proposals under the Metrology Partnership should be launched during the implementation of Horizon Europe.
