Amendment 1691Rosa D'Amato, Dario TamburranoProposal for a decisionAnnex I – part II – point 6 – point 6.1 – paragraph 2

Text proposed by the Commission Amendment

The JRC adds value to EU policies because its science is excellent, multi-disciplinary and independent of national, private and other external interests. Serving all areas of EU policy, it provides the cross-sectoral support that policymakers need to tackle increasingly complex societal challenges. The JRC's independence from special interests combined with its scientific-technical reference role enable it to facilitate consensus building between stakeholders and policy makers and to help diffusing sensitive situations. With its capacity to respond rapidly to policy needs, the JRC's activities are complementary with indirect actions aiming at supporting longer term policy objectives.

Available private and corporate financing remains scarce between late stage of research and innovation activities and market take-up for high-risk breakthrough and market-creating innovations. In order to bridge the 'valley of death', in particular for 'deep tech' innovations that are key to Europe’s future growth, public support must develop a radically new approach. Where the market does not provide viable financial solutions, public support should provide for a specific risk-sharing mechanism, bearing more if not all of the initial risk of potential breakthrough market-creating innovations to attract alternate private investors in a second stage, as operations unfold and the risk is lowered.

In order to make support in Horizon Europe more coherent, the EIC should prepare measures enabling specific project results achieved with previously-provided framework programme support to be put on the market in a targeted way. The proposal essentially makes such support possible but not in the form of a specific measure.




The Accelerator will allow for fast-track take-up of innovations stemming from Pathfinder-supported projects from the Pathfinder, from similar Member States 'advanced research programmes' and from the EIT and other pillars of the EU Framework Programmes28 , in order to support them to reach the market. This identification of projects supported in other pillars of Horizon Europe and also previous Framework Programmes will be based on pertinent methodologies, such as the Innovation Radar.

Justification

The science-based competition and accelerator programme called Helsinki Challenge, in Finland, has proven to be a model example on how cross-sectoral and cross-disciplinary cooperation framed by the SDG’s can generate innovations. The developer of Helsinki Challenge, The University of Helsinki provides the concept to the use of European institutions in order to transform it to an EU-renowned EU Challenge competition to change attitudes towards science and to build a European community eager to find collaboratively ambitious solutions that will have impact to the future well-being globally. The concept enables bottom-up solutions and experimentation, leaving room for the unforeseeable and unpredictable. During the accelerator teams are supported by a wide range of experts and mentors while meeting in bootcamps, workshops and co-creation sessions. When developing solutions each team member will also gain valuable skills i.e. acquiring partnerships and (EU) funding, communication, presenting and commercialization. In addition, the general public is engaged via events where science is shared openly with society all the way during the process. An EU-driven challenge competition that reaches out to the society is a way to tell European citizens how science is serving the humankind on a global and European level. While the Commission rightly requires science to be more open for citizens, the European institutions need to be able to communicate to the citizen why science is worth investing in. The concept can act as a tool to better align research agendas and citizens and civil society’s concerns and expectations creating innovations that are globally sustainable. The concept can serve the EU in building a European R&I identity. It also as the ability to link all the different parts of the Programme as well as various actors participating in it.

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

AM\1162706EN.docx 73/154 PE627.751v01-00

EN

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.

Rationale

Considering the central role of SMEs in Europe's economy, research and innovation in SMEs will play a crucial role in increasing competitiveness, boosting economic growth and job creation. However, SMEs have several types of problems to become more innovative and more competitive, including shortage of financial resources and access to finance, shortage in skills in innovation management, weaknesses in networking and cooperation with external parties, and insufficient use of public procurement to foster innovation in SMEs. The internationalised business environment with increasingly interlinked value chains puts further pressure on them. SMEs need to enhance their research and innovation capacity. They need to generate, take up and commercialise new knowledge and business ideas faster and to a greater extent to compete successfully on fast evolving global markets. The challenge is to stimulate more innovation in SMEs, thereby enhancing their competitiveness, sustainability and growth.

Areas of intervention

Horizon Europe will encourage and support the increased participation of

SMEs in an integrated way across all specific objectives under Pillar III but also Pillar II. For this purpose, to participate in Horizon 2020, better conditions for SMEs shall be established. In addition, building on the experience of Horizon 2020, a SME Instrument 2 as experimented under the EIC Pilot will be targeted at all types of innovative SMEs. It will be provided for all types of innovation. The objective is to help fill the gap in funding for early stage high-risk research and innovation, stimulate breakthrough innovations and increase private-sector commercialisation of research results. All specific objectives of Pillar II "Global Challenges and industrial competitiveness" and Pillar III “Open Innovation” shall apply the dedicated SME instrument and allocate an appropriate amount to it. Only SMEs will be allowed to apply for funding and support. They can form collaborations according to their needs, including for subcontracting research and development work. Projects must be of clear interest and potential benefit to SMEs and have a clear European dimension. The SME instrument will cover all fields of science, technology and innovation in a bottom-up approach within a given global challenge or enabling technology so as to leave sufficient room for all kinds of promising ideas, notably cross- sector and interdisciplinary projects, to be funded. The SME instrument will operate under a single centralised management system, light administrative regime and a single entry point. It shall be implemented primarily in a bottom-up manner through a continuously open call. The SME instrument will provide simplified and staged support. In particular, SMEs will be able to apply to:

— Phase 1:Concept and feasibility assessment: SMEs will receive funding to explore the scientific or technical

PE627.751v01-00 84/154 AM\1162706EN.docx

EN

feasibility and the commercial potential of a new idea (proof of concept) in order to develop an innovation project. A positive outcome of this assessment, in which the linkage between project-topic and potential user/buyer needs is an important issue, will allow for funding under the following phase(s).

— Phase 2:R&D, demonstration, market replication: research and development will be supported with a particular focus on demonstration activities (testing, prototype, scale-up studies, design, piloting innovative processes, products and services, validation, performance verification etc.) and market replication encouraging the involvement of end users or potential clients.

— Phase 3: Commercialisation: This phase will be developed relying on the tools and instruments available under the EIC, in particular strong synergies are envisaged with the Accelerator. Relying on existing SME support networks, such as the Europe Enterprise Network and other innovation service providers, a mentoring scheme for the beneficiary SMEs shall be established to accelerate impact from the support provided. In addition, links will be explored with relevant national and/or regional intermediaries to ensure an efficient implementation of the mentoring scheme.

II "Global Challenges and industrial competitiveness" and Pillar III “Open Innovation” shall apply the dedicated SME instrument and allocate an appropriate amount to it. Only SMEs will be eligible to apply for funding and support. They can form partnerships or collaborations according to their needs, including for subcontracting research and development work. All projects must be clearly aimed to the best interest and potential benefit of SMEs and have a clear European dimension. The SME instrument will cover all fields of science, technology and innovation in a bottom-up approach within a given global challenge or enabling technology so as to leave sufficient room for all kinds of promising ideas, notably cross-sector and interdisciplinary projects, to be funded. The SME instrument will operate under a single centralised management system, light administrative regime and a single entry point. It shall be implemented primarily in a bottom-up manner through a continuously open call. The SME instrument will provide simplified and staged support. In particular, SMEs will be able to apply for:

— Phase 1:Concept and feasibility assessment: SMEs will receive funding to explore the scientific or technical feasibility and the commercial potential of new ideas (proof of concept) in order to develop an innovation project. A positive outcome of this assessment, in which the linkage between project-topic and potential user/buyer needs is an important issue, will allow for funding under the following phase(s).

— Phase 2:R&D, demonstration, market replication: research and development will be supported with a particular focus on demonstration activities (testing, prototype, scale-up studies, design, piloting innovative processes, products and services, validation, performance

AM\1162706EN.docx 87/154 PE627.751v01-00

verification etc.) and market replication encouraging the involvement of end users or potential clients.

— Phase 3:Commercialisation:This phase will be developed relying on the tools and instruments available under the EIC, in particular strong synergies are envisaged with the Accelerator.

Relying on existing SME support networks, such as the Europe Enterprise Network and other innovation service providers, a mentoring scheme for the beneficiary SMEs shall be established to accelerate impact from the support provided. In addition, links will be explored with relevant national and/or regional intermediaries to ensure an efficient implementation of the mentoring scheme.

1 a. SME INSTRUMENT FOR INCREMENTAL INNOVATION

1.1. Rationale

SME as defined in article 2 of Annex I of Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC make up over 99 % of all enterprises in all EU countries and in Norway. They account for around two-thirds of total employment, ranging from 53 % in the United Kingdom to 86 % in Greece. SME contribute 57 % of value added in the EU.SME are thus a very important part of the European economy.

Mostly of these SME do not develop breakthrough ideas but incremental innovation that is necessary for the

PE627.751v01-00 88/154 AM\1162706EN.docx

EN

continuous progress of society.

Also, there are many SME in the EU (i.e. newly created spin off and start ups) without economic history that allow them to be recipients of a loan, so an instrument dedicated only to SME and consisting only on grants, is still needed.

Therefore, this SME instrument for incremental innovation shall continue to provide staged and seamless support to innovative SME. The SME instrument shall be targeted at innovative SME showing a strong ambition to develop, grow and internationalise. It shall be provided for incremental innovation, including service, non-technological and social innovations, given each activity has a clear European added value.

Only SME will be allowed to apply for funding and support. They can form collaborations according to their needs, including for subcontracting research and development work. Projects must be of clear interest and potential benefit to SME and have a clear European dimension.

1.2.Areas of intervention and implementation

The SME instrument for incremental innovation will cover all fields of science, technology and innovation in a bottom-up approach so as to leave sufficient room for all kinds of incremental innovation ideas, notably cross-sector and interdisciplinary projects, to be funded.

It will operate under a single centralised management system, light administrative regime and a single entry point. It shall be implemented in a bottom-up manner through a continuously open call, with four cut-off per year.

The SME instrument for incremental innovation will provide simplified and staged support in three phases. Its three phases will cover the whole innovation

AM\1162706EN.docx 89/154 PE627.751v01-00

EN

cycle. Transition from one phase to the next will be seamless, provided that the SME project has proven to be worth further funding during a previous phase. There is no obligation for applicants to sequentially cover all three phases. At the same time each phase will be open to all SME:

– Phase 1:Concept and feasibility assessment: SME will receive funding to explore the scientific or technical feasibility and the commercial potential of a new idea (proof of concept) in order to develop an incremental innovation project. A positive outcome of this assessment, in which the linkage between project-topic and potential user/buyer needs is an important issue, will allow for funding under the following phase(s).

- Phase 2:R&D, demonstration, market replication: With due attention to the innovation voucher concept, research and development will be supported with a particular focus on demonstration activities (testing, prototype, scale-up studies, design, piloting innovative processes, products and services, validation, performance verification etc.) and market replication encouraging the involvement of end users or potential clients. Innovation Vouchers will promote the participation of young entrepreneurs.

Phase 3:Commercialisation:This phase will fall under the EIC Accelerator established in article 43 of Regulation (XXXXX).

Free-of-charge business coaching shall be provided as an optional service in Phases I and II to support and enhance the firm’s innovation capacity and help align the project to strategic business needs.

1 a. Innovation for SMEs - Mainstreaming SME support through a dedicated instrument

Horizon Europe will encourage and support the increased participation of SMEs in an integrated way across all specific objectives under Pillar III but also Pillar II. For this purpose, to participate in Horizon 2020, better conditions for SMEs shall be established. In addition, building on the experience of Horizon 2020, a SME Instrument 2 as experimented under the EIC Pilot will be targeted at all types of innovative SMEs. It will be provided for all types of innovation. The objective is to help fill the gap in funding for early stage high-risk research and innovation, stimulate breakthrough innovations and increase private-sector commercialisation of research results. All specific objectives of Pillar II "Global Challenges and industrial competitiveness" and Pillar III “Open Innovation” shall apply the dedicated SME instrument and allocate an appropriate amount to it.

The SME instrument will cover all fields of science, technology and innovation in a bottom-up approach within a given global challenge or enabling technology so as to leave sufficient room for all kinds of promising ideas, notably cross- sector and interdisciplinary projects, to be funded.

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

AM\1162706EN.docx 93/154 PE627.751v01-00

EN

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

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. 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,

In 2007-2013 the European Union invested over 11,6 billion euro from ERDF in research infrastructures, around 5,9 bn euro was invested in post-2004 EU Member States. Additional budget for this purpose was dedicated also in 2014-2020 perspective. Those milestone investments should contribute significantly to achieving EU R&I objectives, developing and spreading scientific excellence and boosting new R&I pan-European cooperation patterns.

SCIENCE WITH AND FOR SOCIETY

The aim is to build effective cooperation between science and society, to combat fake news, recruit new talent for science and innovation, to promote gender equality and to pair scientific excellence with excellence in science engagement and with social awareness and responsibility. The strength of the European science and technology system depends on its capacity to harness talent and ideas from wherever they exist and to ensure scientific and technological advancements in line with citizens’ needs. 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. Rapid advances in contemporary scientific research and innovation have led to a rise of important

PE627.751v01-00 140/154 AM\1162706EN.docx

EN

ethical, legal and social issues that affect the relationship between science and society. To combat fake news, practice and research in science engagement need to be better integrated and should continuously innovate to keep up with the pace of scientific, technological and societal changes. Research, practice and piloting, together with a systemic integration of all relevant actors are essential to promote critical thinking among Europeans and to address the issue of post-truth. Future and emerging technologies represent a significant societal challenge. Europe is in the Fourth Industrial Revolution with immense potentials, both positive and negative that Europeans need to shape with their values of democracy, fairness, ethics and engagement. Improving the cooperation between science and society to enable a widening of the social and political support to science and technology in all Member States is an increasingly crucial issue which the current crisis has greatly exacerbated. Public investment in science requires a vast social and political constituency sharing the values of science, educated and engaged in its processes and able to recognise its contributions to knowledge, society and economic progress. The focus of activities shall be to:

(a) make scientific and technological careers attractive to young students, and foster sustainable interaction between all actors of the formal and informal education systems, research institutions, industry and civil society organisations with the development of adapted modes of engagement with young people; (b) counter the post-truth phenomenon by stimulating research, practice and piloting of activities to further develop critical thinking from an early age through late adulthood; (c) promote gender equality, in particular by supporting structural

changes in the organisation of research institutions and in the content and design of research activities; (d) support the 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, in order to integrate citizens' interests and values and to increase the quality, relevance, social acceptability and sustainability of research and innovation outcomes in various fields of activity from social innovation to future and emerging technologies; (e) 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 museums and through other appropriate channels; (f) develop the accessibility and the use of the results of publicly-funded research; (g) develop the governance for the advancement of responsible research and innovation by all stakeholders (researchers, public authorities, industry and civil society organisations), which is sensitive to society needs and demands, and promote an ethics framework for research and innovation; (h) take due and proportional precautions in research and innovation activities by anticipating and assessing potential environmental, health and safety impacts; (i) support science engagement, including all types of formal, non-formal and informal science education, and improve the knowledge on science engagement in order to enhance the effectiveness of interactions between scientists, general media and the public.

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.

– 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
