<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe European Parliament and Council reached a\npolitical agreement on Horizon Europe<\/strong>\nin April 2019, on the basis of which the European Commission has started to\nprepare the programme\u2019s implementation, including through the strategic planning process<\/strong>. This\nprocess, focused in particular on Horizon Europe\u2019s second pillar: ‘Global\nChallenges and European Industrial Competitiveness’, will develop the first \u2018Horizon Europe Strategic Plan (2021-2024)<\/strong>\u2019.\nThe plan will identify major policy drivers, strategic policy priorities, and\ntargeted impacts to be achieved as well as identify missions and European\nPartnerships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The first \u2018Horizon Europe Strategic Plan\u2019 shall\nto be endorsed by the first quarter of 2020 at the\nlatest, so that it can be used to start work on the preparation of specific\nWork Programs. This would allow the launch of the first Horizon Europe\ncompetitions in January 2021, subject to agreement between the European Parliament and Council on\nthe EU\u2019s long-term budget (2021-2027) and its related horizontal provisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Below is a summary of the ongoing\nconsultations regarding the preparation of Horizon Europe and its future key R&I priorities<\/strong>. We will\ndiscuss the details of consultations on the strategy for implementation<\/strong> of the programme and its European partnerships <\/strong>under a separate post. We\nalso encourage representatives of research performing organizations in Poland\nas well as individual researchers and innovators to participate in the\nco-creation process. Below we also publish a number of materials that can be\nhelpful in consulting the first Strategic Plan, in particular in the key\norientations of EU-funded research & innovation under the so-called clusters of the 2nd<\/sup> pillar of\nHorizon Europe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Consultations on the priorities and\nfuture goals for R&I in the EU<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What do you think are the most pressing\nchallenges that EU-funded research and innovation should tackle? What are the\nmost important impacts \u2013 scientific, technological, economic, societal \u2013 that\nEU-funded research and innovation should target? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now you can share your views with the European\nCommission, which invites anyone with an interest in future EU research and\ninnovation priorities, anywhere in the world, to participate in the\nconsultation, which will close with the extended\ndeadline of 4 October 2019<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The consultation online survey is\navailable under the link.<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is recommended that prior to responding to the questions, you read the attached document: \u2018Orientations<\/a> towards the first Strategic Plan implementing the research and innovation framework programme Horizon Europe\u2019. Due to the fact that reading this material may not be easy, while at the same time not all participants of the consultation are equally interested in all parts of the process, the PolSCA Office split the document in accordance with its sections. Particular files can be found on the PolSCA website in the “Publications” tab under the post Horizon Europe – Orientations towards the first Strategic Plan…<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n As part of the support provided to the\nInstitutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences, the PolSCA Office also prepared\nadditional materials, i.e. introduction and explanations regarding the part ‘General Orientations<\/strong>‘ and the part ‘Key Strategic Orientations<\/strong>‘. In\naddition, in cooperation with the Chancellery of the PAN, a proposal of the consultation\ninput<\/em><\/strong> for use within the Academy was prepared. This included two\nsegments: (Section B<\/strong>) Where should\nHorizon Europe play its greatest role? and (Section C<\/strong>) What kind of impacts should Horizon Europe targets? The\nabove-mentioned materials were circulated among all PAN Institutes as a mean of\nencouragement for participation in the consultation process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
