Processes4planet Draft proposal for a European Partnership under Horizon Europe Processes4Planet Version 17 June 2020 Summary The partnership aims at circularity and an extensive decarbonisation of European process industries, with a strong focus on competitiveness. Within a cross-sectorial approach, it will develop and deploy the innovations needed for a profound transformation of process industries, e.g., cement, chemical, steel, to achieve the EU Green Deal targets by 2050. Due to their resource and energy-intensive nature, the activities of the partnership will play a crucial role. Process industries will be frontrunners in the transition to carbon neutrality in Europe by 2050, by decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels while increasing the use of renewable energy sources. With the ultimate goal of zero landfilling and water discharge, circular models will be implemented across industrial sectors, value chains and with regions and cities. 1 About this draft In autumn 2019 the Commission services asked potential partners to further elaborate proposals for the candidate European Partnerships identified during the strategic planning of Horizon Europe. These proposals have been developed by potential partners based on common guidance and template, taking into account the initial concepts developed by the Commission and feedback received from Member States during early consultation. The Commission Services have guided revisions during drafting to facilitate alignment with the overall EU political ambition and compliance with the criteria for Partnerships. This document is a stable draft of the partnership proposal, released for the purpose of ensuring transparency of information on the current status of preparation (including on the process for developing the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda). As such, it aims to contribute to further collaboration, synergies and alignment between partnership candidates, as well as more broadly with related R&I stakeholders in the EU, and beyond where relevant. This informal document does not reflect the final views of the Commission, nor pre-empt the formal decision- making (comitology or legislative procedure) on the establishment of European Partnerships. In the next steps of preparations, the Commission Services will further assess these proposals against the selection criteria for European Partnerships. The final decision on launching a Partnership will depend on progress in their preparation (incl. compliance with selection criteria) and the formal decisions on European Partnerships (linked with the adoption of Strategic Plan, work programmes, and legislative procedures, depending on the form). Key precondition is the existence of an agreed Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda / Roadmap. The launch of a Partnership is also conditional to partners signing up to final, commonly agreed objectives and committing the resources and investments needed from their side to achieve them. The remaining issues will be addressed in the context of the development of the Strategic Research and Innovation Agendas/ Roadmaps, and as part of the overall policy (notably in the respective legal frameworks). In particular, it is important that all Partnerships further develop their framework of objectives. All Partnerships need to have a well-developed logical framework with concrete objectives and targets and with a set of Key Performance Indicators to monitor achievement of objectives and the resources that are invested. Aspects related to implementation, programme design, monitoring and evaluation system will be streamlined and harmonised at a later stage across initiatives to ensure compliance with the implementation criteria, comparability across initiatives and to simplify the overall landscape.

As written in the Space Strategy, "The potential of space solutions has not yet been fully exploited (…). The space sector needs to be better connected to other policies and economic areas". However, most space data – including Copernicus - cannot be used directly by end users. The key objective of the Copernicus user uptake strategy is thus to support an ecosystem of service providers (public or private) that transform space data into accessible and usable information. Historically, only a few organisations had the expertise and fi nancial means to "run this last mile".

  • European Forum for Science and Industry Newsletter, Issue #46
    NEWSLETTER Issue # 46, December 2014 European Forum for Science and Industry News EU companies must boost R&D investment to stay globally competitive Investment in research and development by companies based in the EU grew by 2.6% in 2013, despite the unfavourable economic environment. However, this growth has slowed in comparison to the previous year's 6.8%. It is also below the 2013 world average (4.9%), and lags behind companies based in the US (5%) and Japan (5.5%). These results are published on 4 December in the European Commission's 2014 EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard, which analyses the top 2500 companies worldwide, representing about 90% of the total business R&D expenditure. Data show that EU-based companies (633) invested €162.4 billion in 2013, whereas US-based companies (804) invested €193.7 billion and the 387 Japanese ones €85.6 billion. The EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard is published annually by the European Commission (DG Research and Innovation and DG Joint Research Centre). The 2014 Scoreboard is based on a sample of 2500 companies. The research collects companies' key R&D and economic indicators corresponding to the companies' latest published accounts. It measures the total value of their global R&D investment financed with their own funds, irrespective of the location where the relevant R&D takes place. It comprises companies that invested more than €15.5 million in R&D in 2013. They are based in the EU (633), the US (804), Japan (387) and other countries (676) including China (199), Taiwan (104), South Korea (80) and Switzerland (62).

  • EUROPEAN COMMISSION Brussels, Subject: "Big Public
    EUROPEAN COMMISSION Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs Single Market for Public Administrations Director Brussels, GROW/G4/ Subject: "Big public buyers and networks" meeting – December 2018 On 5th December, the European Commission will organise an ad hoc meeting of the "Big Public Buyers and Networks" pilot initiative. The meeting will be organised together with the Norwegian National Suppliers Development Programme who will facilitate the meeting, with participation of Iclei and Eurocities. The meeting will take the form of a full day workshop on Zero Emission Construction Sites to prepare the grounds for a cross-border collaboration between several cities and regions – a more strategic and joint approach to green public procurement. Scope and purpose: The main focus of this meeting will be to get beyond the talk, and move into action and concrete preparations for our collaborative efforts on Zero Emission Construction Sites, as an example of a joint statements of demand activity under the preliminary activities on the "Big Public Buyers and Networks" pilot initiative. When the meeting is finished we should have established the following: • which cities and regions will be on board for this cross-border collaboration; • a work plan for the long, medium and short term work required; (including having mapped barriers, stakeholders and relevant funding sources – among others); • a smart way of organizing future work. This meeting will serve as a preparatory meeting for a possible future project on "zero emissions construction sites" under the "joint statements of demand" work stream on the "Big Public Buyers and Networks" pilot initiative. Practical arrangements: DG GROW is just providing the space for the meeting.
