(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'.

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.
Soledad CABEZÓN RUIZ, José BLANCO LÓPEZ, Carlos ZORRINHO
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
Amendment 936 #
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.
Amendment 942 #
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

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.deleted
Amendment 1052 #
2.2.6. Cybersecurity Malicious cyber activities not only threaten our economies but also the very functioning of our democracies, our freedoms and our values. 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. Broad Lines – Technologies across the digital value chain (from secure components to cryptography and self-healing software and networks); – Technologies to address current cybersecurity threats, anticipating future needs, and sustaining a competitive industry; – A European cybersecurity competence network and competence centre.deleted

Cross-border collaboration contributes to developing a European single security market and improving industrial performance, underpinning the EU's autonomy. Research and Innovation activities in this Societal Challenge will be overall aligned with the Commission's priorities on Democratic Change; Jobs, Growth and Investment; Justice and Fundamental Rights; Migration; A Deeper and Fairer European Monetary Union; Digital Single Market. It will respond to the commitment of the Rome Agenda to work towards: "a social Europe" and "a Union which preserves our cultural heritage and promotes cultural diversity". It will also support the European Pillar of Social Rights, and the Global Compact for safe, orderly and regular migration. Security research responds to the commitment of the Rome Agenda to work towards "a safe and secure Europe", contributing to a genuine and effective Security Union. Synergies with the Justice Programme and with the Rights and Values Programme, which support activities in the area of access to justice, victims' rights, gender equality, non- discrimination, data protection and promotion of the European citizenship will be exploited. Activities will contribute directly to the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in particular: SDG 1 - No Poverty; SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure; SDG 11- Sustainable Cities and Communities; SDG 16 – Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions. 1.2.Areas of Intervention 1.2.1.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.

Amendment 1296 #
Annex I – part II – point 4 – point 4.1 – paragraph 2
To meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement the EU will need to transition to low-carbon, resource-efficient and resilient economies and societies. This will be based on profound changes in technology and services, to the ways in which businesses and consumers behave, as well as involving new forms of governance. Limiting the increase of global average temperature to well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C, requires rapid progress in decarbonising the energy system through exponential deployment of renewable energy sources and the electrification of industrial processes, heating and cooling and substantially reducing greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions from the transport sector17 . It will also need new impetus to accelerate the pace of developing next-generation breakthroughs as well as demonstrating and deploying innovative technologies and solutions, using also the opportunities provided by digital and space technologies. This will be pursued through an integrated approach encompassing decarbonisation, resource efficiency, reduction of air pollution, access to raw materials and circular economy. _________________ 17 Substantial decarbonisation of other sectors is addressed in other areas of the Horizon Europe GlobSocietal Challenges and Industrial Competitiveness pillar.

Amendment 1781 #
Annex I – part III – paragraph 11 – introductory part
Whilst the EIC will directly support breakthrough innovations, the overall environment from which European innovations nurture and emerge must be further developed and enhanced: it must be a common European endeavour to support innovation all across Europe, and in all dimensions and forms, including through complementary EU and national policies and resources whenever possible. Hence, this Pillar provides also for:
Amendment 1789 #
Annex I – part III – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 1
The objective of the EIC is to identify, develop and deploy from breakthrough and disruptive innovations (including technologies) to incremental and social innovations, and support the rapid scale- up of innovative firms at EU and international levels along the pathway from ideas to market.
Amendment 1824 #

– Promote and co-fund joint innovation programmes managed by authorities in charge of public national, regional or local innovation policies and programmes, to which private entities supporting innovation and innovators mayshould be associated. Such demand- and supply driven joint programmes may target, among others, early stage and feasibility study support, academia- enterprise cooperation, support to high-tech SMEs' collaborative research, technology and knowledge transfer, internationalisation of SMEs, market analysis and development, digitalisation of low-tech SMEs, financial instruments for close to market innovations activities or market deployment, social innovation. They may also include joint public procurement initiatives, enabling innovations to be commercialised in the public sector, in particular in support of the development of new policy. When managed at the local level, these programmes should allow transnational partnerships and should be coherent with the smart specialization strategies of the involved regions. They should be financed in part with the ERDF. This could be particularly effective to stimulate innovation in public service areas and to provide market opportunities to European innovators and promote synergies between the programme and the ERDF.

1. SHARING EXCELLENCE33 _________________ 33 A criterion based on research and innovation excellence will be used to define those Member States and Associated Countries where legal entities need to be established in order to be eligible to submit proposals as coordinators under 'sharing excellence'. This criterion will address the dimensions of the overall economic performance (GDP), research performance and innovation performance in a combined manner normalised to the size of the related countries. The countries identified with this criterion are called 'eligible countries' in the context of 'sharing excellence'. On the basis of Article 349 TFEU, legal entities from Outermost Regions will be also fully eligible as coordinators under 'sharing excellence'. , and less developed regions (according to criteria of European Structural and Investment Funds and the Innovation Scoreboard regional indicator http://ec.europa.eu/growth/industry/innov ation/facts-figures/regional_en)
Amendment 1927 #
Annex I – part 4 – point 1 – paragraph 1
Reducing disparities in research and innovation performance by sharing knowledge and expertise across the EU will help countries and regions that are lagging behind in terms of research and innovation performance, including the EU outermost regions and less developed regions (considering criteria of European Structural and Investment Funds and the Innovation Scoreboard regional indicator), to attain a competitive position in the global value chains. Activities may also be established to foster brain circulation right across ERA and better exploitation of existing (and possibly jointly managed EU programmes) research infrastructures in the targeted countries through mobility of researchers and innovators.

2 a. CITIZENS IN SCIENCE Research and innovation (R&I) systems are currently undergoing far-reaching changes to this modus operandi. At the same time, there is recognition that co- design and co-creation with citizens, stakeholders and end-users needs to be promoted in all policy instruments, including Horizon Europe. Responsible Research and innovation concept has been proved a good frame to push forward the different agendas that help Europe to make a better science, aligned with the needs and expectation of our society. The involvement of societal actors and the integration of societal concerns needs to be more systematic and sustainable, e.g. through institutional changes in R&I organisations that have lasting effects beyond the lifetime of project funding. Likewise, R&I organisations need to facilitate the production and uptake of scientific knowledge by society. In this context, the programme “Citizens and science” is called to support the implementation of Responsible Research and Innovation in Horizon Europe and beyond, looking for lasting institutional change able to embrace open science. Moreover, it also has the role to research and pilot new knowledge and methodologies to ensure a better relationship between citizens and science in the long term. Broad Lines – Responsible Research and Innovation as the umbrella where individuals institutions, regions and countries develops ways to become more open and responsive to society; – Citizen science, including engagement of citizens in the co-design of research and innovation agenda settings and policy, in the co-creation of scientific content and innovation through transdisciplinary activities; – All types of formal, non-formal and informal science education, incorporating STEM, research and entrepreneur skills into education systems from an early stage, and especially in a changing world where critical thinking and scientific knowledge will allow to fight against, among others, fake news, pseudo science and populism in the long term, while augmenting trust in science; – Supporting gender equality in scientific careers and in decision making, as well as the integration of the gender dimension in research and innovation content; – Ethics and integrity, to further develop a coherent EU framework in adherence with the highest ethics standards and the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity; – Providing researchers with attractive career environments, skills and competences needed in the modern knowledge economy1a. – Linking the ERA and the European Higher Education Area by supporting the modernisation of universities and other research and innovation organisations, through recognition and reward mechanisms to spur actions at national level, as well as incentives promoting the adoption of open science practices, entrepreneurship (and links to innovation ecosystems), trans-disciplinarity, citizen engagement, international and inter- sectoral mobility, gender equality plans and comprehensive approaches to institutional changes.
