AMD 34 (26a) Both Horizon 2020 and the cohesion policy seek a more comprehensive alignment with the Europe 2020 objectives of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth through their respective Common Strategic Frameworks (CSF). This new strategic direction calls for an increased and systematised cooperation of both CSF in order to fully mobilise the research and innovation potential at regional, national and European level. Therefore, an appropriate articulation of Horizon 2020 with the cohesion policy will help reduce the research and innovation gap in the Union, by fostering the "stairway to excellence" taking into account of the specific characteristics of the regions referred to in Articles 274, 349 and 355 TFEU. Moreover, Structural funds should be deployed to their full extent to support capacity and R&D infrastructure building in the regions; support actions such as ERC, Marie Curie or collaborative actions that have been positively evaluated, but for which no Horizon 2020 funding is available.

AMD 35 (26b) European local and regional authorities have an important role to play in implementing the ERA and in ensuring an efficient coordination of the Union financial instruments, in particular in fostering linkages between Horizon 2020 and the Structural Funds, within the framework of regional innovation strategies based on smart specialisation. Regions also have a role in the dissemination and implementation of Horizon 2020 results and in offering complementary funding instruments, including public procurement. AMD 36 (26c) Horizon 2020 should aim at spreading and promoting excellent research throughout all the European regions as a precondition for a geographically balanced growth and innovation strategy of the Union. It should also aim at fostering the mobility of researchers as a means for preventing forms of brain-drain among the Member States.

AMD 38 (27a) The economic significance of public procurement in the Union, which the Commission puts at 19.4% of GDP in its working document 'Public procurement indicators 2009', makes the public procurement market a strategic instrument in the economic and social policy of which it forms part. Moreover, the immediate aim of public procurement is to equip administrations with solutions that will enable them to provide better services to citizens, and there is no doubt that innovation is one means of improving and expanding the provision of conventional products, works and services, and that it makes management processes more efficient. evertheless, only a very small part of the total amount involved in public contracts in the Union goes to innovative products and services, and this represents a serious lost opportunity.

AMD 39 (27b) In order to maximize the impact of Horizon 2020 special consideration should be given to multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches as necessary elements for major scientific progress. Breakthroughs in science take often place at the boundaries or intersections of disciplines. Furthermore, the complexity of the problems and challenges that Europe is facing requires solutions that can only be tackled from several disciplines working together.
AMD 40 (27c) The implementation of Horizon 2020 should fully recognise the fundamental role that Universities play within the scientific and technological base of the Union as basic institutions of excellence, both in training and research, having an essential role of linking the implementation of the European Higher Education Area to the ERA. Research and technology organisations bring together different players across the whole innovation chain, from fundamental to technological research, from product and process development to prototyping and demonstration, and on to full-scale implementation in the public and private sectors.

The coordination and monitoring carried out as part of Horizon 2020 should guarantee the optimum use of resources and avoid unnecessary duplications of expenditure, regardless of what sources of funding are involved. AMD 42 (28a) The Commission should encourage regional stakeholders to formulate regional strategies reflecting the specific needs of the regions so as to combine existing forms of public or private funding at Union level. The activities under Horizon 2020 should be adapted to these strategies, since closer involvement of regional and local authorities in the design and implementation of the funds and research and innovation programmes is of crucial importance in view of the impossibility of applying the same development strategies in all regions.

All three priorities shall include an international dimension. International scientific and technological cooperation is a critical issue for the Union and is in particular essential for frontier and basic research in order to capture the benefits from emerging science and technology opportunities. As a consequence, the share for the international cooperation activities described in Article 21(2) and (3) shall be at least maintained at the level of the previous Framework programme. In particular, Horizon 2020 will support three main dimensions of international cooperation:
-promoting scientific and technological (S&T) cooperation with the most advanced centres of knowledge in the world, in order to achieve and share the most advanced standards of excellence, and to pursue competition at the highest levels;
-promoting international S&T cooperation for capacity building, helping institutions in the Union, from the very start, to contribute to and to share the benefits of the fast expansion of R&D capabilities and human resources world-wide;

In order to achieve appropriate balance between consensus-based and more disruptive R&D&I, the use of open calls following a bottom-up logic - with accelerated procedures shall be fostered to ensure fast realisation of innovative projects. Furthermore, the right balance shall be struck within the societal challenges and the enabling and industrial technologies between smaller and bigger projects, taking into account the specific sector structure, type of activity, technology and research landscape. In order to help close the research and innovation divide across areas, regions and Member States in Europe, complementarity and close synergies will be developed with the Structural Funds both upstream (capacity-building in the Member States to better prepare their participation in Horizon 2020) and downstream (exploit and diffuse research and innovation results stemming from Horizon 2020). Where possible, the interoperability between the two instruments will be promoted. Cumulative or combined funding will be encouraged. Synergies will in particular be sought in the activities set out in the "Widening excellence and widening participation" objective, the regional partner facilities of research infrastructure of European interest, and the activities performed via the EIT and its KICs.

Cross-cutting issues and support measures in Horizon 2020
Cross-cutting issues, an indicative list of which is found in Article 13 of the Horizon 2020 Framework Regulation, will be promoted between specific objectives of the three priorities as necessary to develop new knowledge, key competences and major technological breakthroughs as well as translating knowledge into economic and societal value. Furthermore, in many cases, interdisciplinary solutions will have to be developed which cut across multiple specific objectives of Horizon 2020. Horizon 2020 will provide incentives for such crosscutting actions, including by an efficient bundling of budgets.

Social sciences and humanities
Social sciences and humanities research will be fully integrated into each of the pillars of Horizon 2020 and each of the specific objectives. In relation to the societal challenges, social sciences and humanities are mainstreamed as an essential element of the activities needed to tackle each of the societal challenges to enhance their impact. The specific objective of the societal challenge 'Europe in a changing world: Inclusive, innovative and reflective societies' will support social sciences and humanities research by focusing on inclusive, innovative and reflective societies.
Science and society
The relationship between science and society as well as the promotion of Responsible Research and Innovation and science education and culture shall be deepened and public confidence in science reinforced by activities of Horizon 2020 favouring an informed engagement of citizens and civil society in research and innovation matters.

Gender
Promoting gender equality in science and innovation is a commitment of the EU. In Horizon 2020, gender will be addressed as a cross-cutting issue in order to rectify imbalances between women and men, and to integrate a gender dimension in research and innovation programming and content.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
Horizon 2020 will encourage and support the participation of SMEs in an integrated way across all specific objectives. In accordance with Article 18 of Horizon 2020 Framework Regulation, 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'.

International Cooperation
International cooperation with third countries and international, regional or global organisations is necessary to effectively address many specific objectives defined in Horizon 2020. International cooperation is essential for frontier and basic research in order to capture the benefits from emerging science and technology opportunities. Cooperation is necessary for addressing the societal challenges and enhancing the competitiveness of European industry. Promoting researchers and innovation staff mobility at an international level is also crucial to enhance this global cooperation. International cooperation in research and innovation is a key aspect of the Union's global commitments. International cooperation will, therefore, be promoted in each of the three priorities of Horizon 2020. In addition, dedicated horizontal activities will be supported in order to ensure the coherent and effective development of international cooperation across Horizon 2020.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 5447/13 FMA/AFG/sg 138

Sustainable development and climate change
Horizon 2020 will encourage and support activities towards exploiting Europe's leadership in the race to develop new processes and technologies promoting sustainable development, in a broad sense, and combating climate change. Such horizontal approach, fully integrated in all Horizon 2020 priorities, will help the EU to prosper in a lowcarbon, resource constrained world while building a resource efficient, sustainable and competitive economy.
Bridging from discovery to market application
Bridging actions throughout Horizon 2020 are aimed at bringing discovery to market application, leading to exploitation and commercialisation of ideas whenever appropriate. The actions should be based on a broad innovation concept and stimulate cross-sectoral innovation.

In order to take the challenge-based approach, a coordinated strategic planning of research and innovation activities is needed. Coordination can address fragmentation and improve the use of technological and infrastructural resources by the entire research community related to each challenge.
Strategic actions and scientific steering can ensure expert input on policy from the outset, advance innovation and competitiveness by understanding the complexity of the innovation cycle, and encourage participation from more researchers across borders.
Based on need and demand strategic research and innovation coordination on each challenge can be established through Strategic Scientific panels of independent high-level experts from academia, industry, end-users and civil society, selected through an open and transparent process, which will contribute to defining research and innovation programmes based on the best leadership and will provide the impetus and instruments needed to promote interaction and synergies on a larger scale. The role of these panels would be to provide on-going strategic advice on the actions being undertaken and planned in under Horizon 2020 and the related Union policy areas.

World-leading innovation is closely [no change] [no change] associated with excellent science. Once the undisputed leader, Europe has fallen behind in the race to produce the very best cutting-edge science and has played a secondary role to the United
States of America in the major postwar technological advances. Although the Union remains the largest producer of scientific publications in the world, the United States of America produces twice as many of the most influential papers (the top 1 % by citation count).
Similarly, international university rankings show that US universities dominate the top places. And 70 % of the world’s Nobel Prize winners are based in the USA.
One part of the challenge is that, while [no change] [no change]
Europe and the United States of
America invest similar amounts in their public-sector science bases, the
Union has nearly three times as many public-sector researchers, resulting in significantly lower investment per researcher. Moreover, US funding is more selective about allocating resources to the leading researchers.
This helps to explain why the Union’s public-sector researchers are, on average, less productive and, altogether, make less combined scientific impact than their far less numerous US counterparts.

Although Europe hosts a large and [no change] [no change] diversified pool of skilled human resources for research and innovation, this needs to be constantly replenished, improved and adapted to the rapidly evolving needs of the labour market.
Today only 46 % of this pool works in the business sector, which is much lower than in Europe’s main economic competitors, e.g. 69 % in China, 73 % in Japan and 80 % in the United States.
In addition, demographic factors mean that a disproportionate number of researchers will reach retirement age in the next few years.

In this context Horizon 2020 should also encourage collaboration between European researchers by introducing a research voucher scheme with money for research following researchers that move to universities in all Member States, contributing to centres of excellence, independent universities and increased mobility among researchers.
Mobility programmes will ensure effective equal opportunities between men and women and include specific measures to remove obstacles to the mobility of female researchers.
If Europe is to match its competitors in [no change] [no change] research and innovation, it must entice more young women and men to embark on research careers and provide highly attractive opportunities and environments for research and innovation. The most talented individuals, from Europe and elsewhere, should see Europe as a preeminent place to work.

Member States individually will be able to address this challenge.
Although Member States have introduced reforms to improve their tertiary education institutions and modernise their training systems, progress is still uneven across Europe, with big differences between countries.
Overall, scientific and technological cooperation between the public and private sectors generally remains weak in Europe. The same applies to gender equality and to the efforts to attract students and researchers from outside the ERA. Currently around 20 % of the doctoral candidates in the Union are citizens of third countries, whereas about 35 % in the United States of
America come from abroad. To speed up this change, a strategic approach that goes beyond national borders is required at Union level. Union funding is crucial to create incentives for and encourage the indispensable structural reforms.

4a.1. Specific objective
The specific objective is to fully exploit the potential of Europe's talent pool and to ensure that the benefits of an innovation-led economy are both maximised and fairly distributed across the Union in accordance with the principle of excellence.
When referring to the objectives of the Union's research and technological development policy Article 179(2) TFEU clearly states that "the Union shall, throughout the Union, encourage undertakings, including small and medium-sized undertakings, research centres and universities in their research and technological development activities of high quality".
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 5447/13 FMA/AFG/sg 200
ANNEX DG G III EN
And indeed, ensuring that research and innovation-related activities are spread widely has long been an important Union policy goal. However, despite a recent tendency for the innovation performances of individual countries to converge, sharp differences among EU27 countries still remain, as it has been stated in the Innovation Union Scoreboard 2011. Furthermore, by putting national budgets under constrain, the current financial crisis is threatening to widen the gap between 'innovation leaders' and 'modest innovators'.
4a.2. Rationale and Union added value
In order to progress towards a sustainable, inclusive and smart society, Europe needs to make the best use of the intelligence that is available in the Union and to unlock untapped R&I potential. This is a real European challenge, decisive for our international competitiveness, and it cannot be solved by the Member States alone.
By nurturing and connecting pools of excellence, the activities proposed will contribute to strengthening the European Research Area.

ANNEX DG G III EN
4a.3. Broad lines of the activities
To assure efficiency of the research and innovation funding, Horizon 2020 needs to be open to a wide range of participants, including new entrants, and make sure that excellence prevails wherever it exists enabling researchers and innovators across Europe to benefit from Horizon 2020's instruments, networks and funding, including the activities of the EIT and its KICs.
In this context, measures will aim at fully exploiting the potential of Europe's talent pool and thereby optimising the economic and social impact of research and innovation and will be distinct yet complementary with regard to policies and actions of the Cohesion policy Funds.
These measures include:
Twinning and networking measures
(a) linking emerging centres of excellence in less innovation performing Member States and regions to international leading counterparts elsewhere in Europe;
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 5447/13 FMA/AFG/sg 202
ANNEX DG G III EN
(b) launching a competition for the foundation of internationally competitive research centres in less innovation performing regions based on the priorities identified in their regional smart specialisation strategies: the candidates for the competition should be teams each comprising an innovative but still less innovation performing region and an internationally recognised centre of excellence elsewhere in Europe;
(c) establishing 'ERA Chairs' to attract outstanding academics to institutions with a clear potential for research excellence, in order to help these institutions to fully unlock this potential and thereby create a level playing field for research and innovation in the European Research Area;
(d) attributing "Return Grants" to excellent researchers currently working outside of Europe and who wish to work in Europe or to researchers already working in Europe who wish to move to a less performing region;
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 5447/13 FMA/AFG/sg 203
ANNEX DG G III EN
(e) support complementary agreements signed among organisations beneficiaries of the collaborative research projects with other entities and organisations established mainly in countries others than those directly involved in the project with the specific objective to facilitate training oportunities (namely doctoral and post-doctoral positions);
(f) strengthening successful networks aiming at establishing high quality institutional networking in research and innovation. Particular attention will be paid to COST in order to promote activities to identify and connect "pockets of excellence" (high-quality scientific communities and young investigators) throughout Europe;
(g) developing specific training mechanisms on how to participate in Horizon 2020, taking full advantage of existing networks such as the ational Contact Points;
(h) setting up an online marketplace where intellectual property can be advertised in order to bring together the owners and users of IPR.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 5447/13 FMA/AFG/sg 204
ANNEX DG G III EN
Building synergies with Structural Funds
(a) conferring a "seal of excellence" on positively evaluated ERC, Marie Sklodowska-Curie or collaborative project proposals that have not been able to achieve funding because of budgetary limitations, and also to completed projects in order to facilitate funding of the follow up by national, regional or private sources;
(b) supporting the development and monitoring of smart specialisation strategies. A policy support facility will be developed and policy learning at regional level will be facilitated through international evaluation by peers and best practice sharing.

A Union-level Debt facility for R&I is [no change] [no change] needed to increase the likelihood that loans and guarantees are made and
R&I policy objectives achieved. The current gap in the market between the demand for and supply of loans and guarantees for risky R&I investments, addressed by the current Risk-Sharing
Finance Facility (RSFF), is likely to persist, with commercial banks remaining largely absent from higherrisk lending. Demand for RSFF loan finance has been high since the launch of the facility in mid-2007: in its first phase (2007-2010), its take-up exceeded initial expectations by more than 50 % in terms of active loan approvals (EUR 7.6 billion versus a forecast EUR 5 billion).

The knowledge-based companies. The consequence is that many established consequence is that many established innovative companies — both large innovative companies both large and and small — cannot obtain loans for small cannot obtain loans for higherhigher-risk R&I activities. risk R&I activities. The European
Investment Bank, managing the Debt facility on behalf of the Commission, will have the mandate to lend to projects carrying a high technological risk and not merely to offer belowmarket-rate loans to projects with a low technological risk. This mandate, however, will be subject to portfolio and project risk management criteria and appropriate risk return criteria and oversight adapted to the objectives pursued.
Finance in the form of unsecured loans will be available.
These market gaps stem, at root, from [no change] [no change] uncertainties, information asymmetries and the high costs of attempting to address these issues: recently established firms have too short a track record to satisfy potential lenders, even established firms often cannot provide enough information, and at the start of an R&I investment, it is not at all certain whether the efforts undertaken will actually result in a successful innovation.

This problem also particularly affects the processes for transferring knowledge and technology between the sphere of public research, carried out in universities and research centres, and business, where validation is required, in the form of the corresponding proof of concept, to demonstrate the innovatory potential that the knowledge and technology to be transferred will bring to the market.
Additionally, enterprises at the concept [no change] [no change] development stage or working in emerging areas typically lack sufficient collateral. Another disincentive is that even if R&I activities give rise to a commercial product or process, it is not at all certain that the company that has made the effort will be able to exclusively appropriate the benefits deriving from it.

In terms of Union added value, the [no change] [no change]
Debt facility will help remedy market deficiencies that prevent the private sector from investing in R&I at an optimum level. Its implementation will enable the pooling of a critical mass of resources from the Union budget and, on a risk-sharing basis, from the financial institution(s) entrusted with its implementation. It will stimulate firms to invest more of their own money in R&I than they would otherwise have done. In addition, the
Debt facility will help organisations, both public and private, to reduce the risks of undertaking the precommercial procurement or procurement of innovative products and services.

A Union-level Equity facility for R&I [no change] [no change] is needed to help improve the availability of equity finance for early and growth-stage investments and to boost the development of the Union venture capital market. During the technology transfer and start-up phase, new companies face a 'valley of death' where public research grants stop and it is not possible to attract private finance. Public support aiming to leverage private seed and start-up funds to fill this gap is currently too fragmented and intermittent, or its management lacks the necessary expertise. Furthermore, most venture capital funds in Europe are too small to support the continued growth of innovative companies and do not have the critical mass to specialise and operate transnationally.
The consequences are serious. Before [no change] [no change] the financial crisis, the amount invested in SMEs by European venture capital funds was about EUR 7 billion a year, while figures for 2009 and 2010 were within the EUR 3-4 billion range.
Reduced funding for venture capital has affected the number of start-ups targeted by venture capital funds: in
2007, some 3 000 SMEs received venture capital funding, compared to only around 2 500 in 2010.

In particular, Cohesion Policy funds have a key role to play through building capacity and providing a stairway to excellence for SMEs in order to develop excellent projects that may compete for funding under Horizon

Nevertheless, only a few national and regional programmes provide funding for transnational research and innovation activities carried out by SMEs, the Union-wide diffusion and uptake of innovative solutions or cross-border innovation support services. The challenge is to provide SMEs with thematically open support to realise international projects in line with companies’ innovation strategies. Actions at Union level are therefore necessary to complement activities undertaken at national and regional level, to enhance their impact and to open up the research and innovation support systems.

Advancing towards an open, effective and democratic knowledge-based society requires a change to a more bidirectional dialogue and active cooperation beyond traditional science education or the current conception of citizens as mere consumers of research findings. This dialogic relationship and active cooperation will undoubtedly allow science and innovation to proceed more responsibly.
The Union needs all its talents to boost its competitive edge in a global economy. To meet the 1 million net additional researchers needed in Europe by 2020 to reach the objective of a R&D intensity of 3% of GDP the Union needs its young people to pursue a career in science and it needs a diverse and gender-balanced workforce.

Yet it has been increasingly difficult to attract a higher proportion of young people to science and technology and there is a growing concern in Europe that many talented young people do not opt for a career in these domains. In addition, it is also necessary to ensure that people who have embarked on a scientific or technological career can retain their enthusiasm and motivation and have opportunities for personal development, without having to abandon their disciplines.
There is also a clear gender imbalance in science. If Europe wants to make sure it funds an effective and efficient research and innovation programme, special attention needs to be paid to the under-representation of women in science and the lack of consideration to gender differences within research and innovation.

ANNEX DG G III EN
Improving the cooperation between science and society to enable a widening of the social and political support to science and to technology in all Member States is increasingly a crucial issue that the current economic crisis has greatly exacerbated. In democratic societies, priority to public investment in science requires a vast social and political constituency sharing the values of science, educated in its processes and able to recognise its contributions to knowledge, to society and to economic progress.
This can only be achieved if a fruitful and rich dialogue and active cooperation between science and society is developed to ensure a more responsible science and to enable the development of policies more relevant to citizens.
Moreover, promoting in such an interactive way a scientific culture in Europe will strengthen democratic values and will help increasing the interest in science and technology. The strength of the European science and technology system depends on its capacity to harness talent and ideas from wherever they exist.

-1.3. Broad lines of the activities
Measures should aim at attracting new talent to the study of science and technology in European societies and bridging the gender gap in human resources working in research in the Union. Increasing our capacity to incorporate science and technological knowledge and methods in decisionmaking processes, developing mechanisms allowing for the broadening and deepening of the social appraisal of scientific options and making sure ethical and social values are taken on board in the whole innovation process will also be supported.
The focus of activities shall be to:
(a) make scientific and technological careers attractive to young students, and foster sustainable interaction between schools, research institutions, industry and civil society organisations;
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 5447/13 FMA/AFG/sg 298

(b) promote gender equality in both its dimensions by supporting changes in: (i) the organisation of research institutions and (ii) the design of research programmes. This encompasses its various dimensions relating in particular to: ensuring equality in research careers, decisionmaking and including the gender dimension in the research and innovation content;
(c) integrate society in science and innovation issues in order to integrate citizens' interests and values and to increase the quality, relevance, acceptability and sustainability of the research and innovation outcomes;
(d) encourage citizens to engage in science through formal and informal science education, and promote the diffusion of science-based activities, namely in science centres and other appropriate channels;
(e) enhance the open access to scientific results and data in order to augment scientific excellence and economic competitiveness;

Seas and oceans also play a crucial role in climate regulation, but they are heavily impacted by inland, coastal and maritime human activities and also by climate change. The overall aim is to develop cross-cutting marine and maritime scientific and technological knowledge (including through study of palegic birds) with a view to unlock the blue growth potential across the range of marine and maritime industries, while protecting the marine environment and adapting to climate change. This strategic coordinated approach for marine and maritime research across all challenges and pillars of Horizon 2020 will also support the implementation of relevant Union policies to help deliver key blue growth objectives.

These inequalities
do not only stifle societal development but hamper the economies in the European Union and reduce the research and innovation capacities within and across countries.
A central challenge in addressing these inequalities will be the fostering of settings in which European, national and ethnic identities can coexist and be mutually enriching.
Moreover, the number of Europeans aged over 65 is expected to rise significantly by 42% from 87 million in 2010 to 124 million in 2030. This presents a major challenge for the economy, society and the sustainability of public finances.

The aim is to contribute to an understanding of Europe's intellectual basis: its history and the many European and non-European influences; as an inspiration for our lives today. Europe is characterized by a variety of different peoples (including minorities and indigenous people), traditions and regional and national identities as well as by different levels of economic and societal development. Migration and mobility, the media, industry and transport contribute to the diversity of views and lifestyles. This diversity and its opportunities should be recognized and considered.

European collections in libraries, including digital ones, archives, museums, galleries and other public institutions have a wealth of rich, untapped documentation and objects for study. These archival resources, together with intangible heritage, represent the history of individual Member States but also the collective heritage of a European Union that has emerged through time. Such materials should be made accessible, also through new technologies, to researchers and citizens to enable a look to the future through the archive of the past. Accessibility and preservation of cultural heritage in these forms is needed for the vitality of the living engagements within and across European cultures now and contributes to sustainable economic growth.

The threat of large-scale military aggressions has been subsided and security concerns are focused on new multifaceted, interrelated and transnational threats. Consequently the concept of security has been broadened from a military definition to include other aspects such as human rights, environmental degradation, political stability and democracy, social issues, cultural and religious identity or immigration. In this context the internal and external aspects of security are inextricably linked. The current threats to security and freedom are numerous, complex and fluid and include terrorism, organised crime, cyber attacks, piracy, regional instability or natural and man-made disasters, violence, privacy abuses and other forms of social and economic disorders. These threats affect citizens and have an impact on notions of trust, care and communication as well as economic and social impact, and therefore demand a corresponding variety of preventive and counter actions.
