The Commission encourages Member States (including relevant national and regional authorities) to: · work towards better alignment and synergies of their funding instruments with EU funding initiatives; this includes their research and innovation programmes, in particular in connection with relevant Joint Programming Initiatives and AAL; · make effective use of Structural Funds, in line with the Partnership priorities, as appropriate, in particular with a view to: – enhancing the use, quality, interoperability of and access to ICT i ...[+++]ncluding e-health, and strengthening research, technological development and innovation; – promoting social inclusion and combating poverty, including through investing in health and social infrastructure; – promoting measures to fight against discrimination of older people both in accessing the labour market and in the work place (e.g. innovative, accessible and age-friendly forms of work organisation, longer healthier working lives); – fostering investments to modernise national and regional health systems, and giving priority to a shift from institutional care to community-based care, while enhancing independent living. · consider including the Partnership priorities and objectives among their strategic priorities in order to make use of structural funds; · engage in the activities of the Partnership through the procurement of more innovative and efficient solutions.

To support efficient use of funding mechanisms, the Commission: · will ensure the effective use of funding allocated to the Partnership Plan priorities, in particular the ICT part of the CIP in support of the validation and deployment of services, interoperability, evidence aggregation and capacity building; the AAL Joint Programme, the FP7 for ICT research in 2013 and Health Programme for 2012-2013; · will take account of relevant priorities of the Plan together with input from other stakeholders for future research and innovation work programmes and instruments (i.e. Horizon 2020); · has proposed to provide support for specific acti ...[+++]ons in line with its objectives, under the Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing in the scope of the Health for Growth Programme; · has proposed in the Connecting Europe Facility to finance support from 2014 for the roll-out of trans-European digital services infrastructures which enable cross-border telemedicine/-monitoring[26].

ACTIONS The Commission will: Key action 9: Leverage more private investment through the strategic use of pre-commercial procurement[36] and public-private partnerships[37], by using structural funds for research and innovation and by maintaining a pace of 20% yearly increase of the ICT RD budget at least for the duration of FP7; Other actions: Reinforce the coordination and pooling of resources with Member States and industry[38], and put greater focus on demand- and user-driven partnerships in EU support to ICT research ...[+++] and innovation; Starting in 2011 propose measures for ‘light and fast’ access to EU research funds in ICT, making them more attractive notably to SMEs and young researchers in view of a wider implementation within the revision of the EU RTD Framework; [39] Ensure sufficient financial support to joint ICT research infrastructures and innovation clusters, develop further eInfrastructures and establish an EU strategy for cloud computing notably for government and science; Work with stakeholders to develop a new generation of web-based applications and services, including for multilingual content and services, by supporting standards and open platforms through EU-funded programmes.

- The EU will encourage where appropriate the integration of development issues into the various Technology Platforms and Partnerships (forestry, biotechnologies, water supply and sanitation, health research, etc.) with a view to increasing mutual benefits for Europe and developing countries, as initiated through the European and Developing countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) and the Global Animal Health Technology Platform.
