Dear colleagues,

The European Commission opened a  Public Consultation on Horizon Europe. If you feel concerned about the strategic lines of the future R&I European programme, we would appreciate if you could contribute to it with your opinions and ask your colleagues, partners and stakeholders to do the same. The consultation has been open through the summer, it will close on 8^th September noon, and so far  no many answers from environmentally-related representatives have been received. The Commission welcomes contributions from all kinds of stakeholders, so please feel free to disseminate this among your colleagues and all your networks.

The Consultation seeks to know what our community, among others, thinks about the impact of Horizon Europe on the topics related to Cluster 6, particularly on biodiversity and ecosystems, but also cities, sustainable development and other topics that you may refer to in the free-text section D.

Reading some documents may help:

Horizon Europe draft documents

· Orientations towards the first Strategic Plan – Horizon Europe   (whole document)

· Annex Cluster 6- FOOD, BIOECONOMY, NATURAL RESOURCES, AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT  (if you want just to read our cluster)

… and then participating in the consultation can be done directly on:

Public online consultation – after reading the background page, please click on “share your views”: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/HorizonEurope_Codesign_2021-2024

Your collaboration is needed to improve the European common R&I strategy.  

In this respect we would appreciate receiving copy of your contributions so we may track the participation of CETAF Members.

Thank you very much and best regards,
