Many SMEs struggle to embrace the Industry 4.0 revolution and the uptake of advanced manufacturing technologies and systems remains a challenge: only one in five manufacturing companies have already used advanced manufacturing solutions[1]. A recent study[2] shows that for nearly three-quarters of the firms, the most important barrier to the uptake of advanced manufacturing technologies and systems is the high cost of investments in advanced manufacturing acquisition and the lack of financial resources. About half of all firms also indicate difficulties in assessing the performance and the potential business return of such technologies and/or the lack of skilled personnel required to adopt relevant technologies and business models.

The planned Horizon Europe Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change, including Societal Transformation, will test, evaluate and scale-up a range of adaptation solutions with the aim to trigger societal transformations among key community systems (i.e., health; primary production including agriculture, forestry, fisheries and aquaculture; water; environment, including biodiversity; and infrastructure including clean energy and transport) that are central to resilience building and sustainable growth. Therefore, the actions funded under this call topic will serve as early facilitators in pre-identifying and upscaling the most promising cross-sectoral solutions at a regional scale. |

The urgency and the scale of Green Deal challenges require the mobilization and advancement of world-class scientific capacities and resources such as those offered by European Research Infrastructures. They will contribute to the transition towards a climate-neutral Europe, targeting at least 50% emissions reduction by 2030. As a pilot under Horizon 2020, activities will focus on the provision of research and innovation services for breakthrough research in two priority areas: energy storage and advanced climate/environment observation and monitoring. Expected impacts range from answering short-term needs of thematic European Green Deal objectives to longer-term perspective including Horizon Europe. |

Underpinned by knowledge in the latest IPCC and IPBES reports, large-scale ecosystem restoration is urgent – the window of opportunity is closing rapidly. It needs a systemic approach to deliver tangible benefits on the European Green Deal actions for climate (mitigation, adaptation and disaster risk reduction), biodiversity, zero pollution, and sustainable food systems (from farm to fork), health, and wellbeing. Actions under this topic should therefore be pivotal in demonstrating and promoting systemic solutions for upscaling urgent restoration to increase biodiversity and support a wide range of ecosystem services, as requested in the Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 for damaged terrestrial, freshwater, coastal, and marine ecosystems. |

This topic covers citizen deliberation and participation. Actions should establish transnational networks of experts, researchers, practitioners, and relevant civil society organizations specialized in deliberative democracy and civic participation across Europe, including professionals in the field of public engagement. Experts on gender equality and climate justice should also be included. They should share good practice, tools, and resources and implement participatory and deliberation processes on priority issues in order to deliver on the Green Deal, both at the level of local communities and at a wider scale. They should establish a connection across the diverse participation and deliberation processes across regions and countries up to the European level. They should build on already existing experience and tools, notably open-access ones stemming from EU-funded projects such as the RRI Tools platform. |

Taking into account the latest policy needs and developments, this call topic aims at establishing new knowledge, exploring the feasibility of new or improved technologies, and demonstrating innovative solutions to protect health, environment, and natural resources from persistent and mobile chemicals. Selected projects are expected to advance our knowledge of health impacts and environmental effects and to address and preferably prevent a specific pollution problem involving contamination of environmental resources (such as soil, sediments, air, food, and drinking water). The solutions developed should lead to cost-effective prevention, monitoring, and to, as a last resort, mitigation or elimination of the issues (e.g. mitigation or remediation efforts in particularly affected geographic areas).

The new context of extreme wildfires requires accelerating the shift towards implementing a more holistic fire a management approach that integrates environmental, climate, health & safety/security, cultural and socio-economic aspects with:
- research, demonstration, and deployment of innovative means and methods tailored to extreme wildfire behavior, such as better and more advanced techniques, models, solutions, and capabilities for preventing, predicting, monitoring, and fighting wildfires, and mitigating their impact, including better and advanced technologies, equipment, and decision support systems for first responders;
- proactive governance, change of forest management practices, large-scale and community-based risk assessments, awareness, and preparedness - where citizens, local communities, the forestry, and bio-economy sectors play a central role.

The National Strategy for Oceans 2021–2030 is a public policy instrument for the Oceans that presents the country's vision, objectives, areas of intervention, and goals for the period 2021–2030, with regard to the Ocean's development model. This model starts from the Ocean as one of the main pillars of sustainability on the planet and is based on the principles of preservation and sustainable use of the resources and services of marine ecosystems in harmony with the economic, social, and environmental development that is intended for Portugal until 2030. Bearing in mind the relevance and the central role that the Ocean can play globally in the next decade, this Public Consultation is intended to receive contributions with a view to pursuing the objective underlying the development of this new Strategy. |
