Thanks for the PR. I think the new phrasing is good. However we prefer the British English spelling of "programme" for the European Horizon 2020 Programme - please fix that.

Also, the final comma here is not grammatically correct: It is also used for policy, monitoring and, supervision purposes.

Not to be too pedantic, but the last comma in a list is a style choice, not a grammatical error. It is important to be consistent though.

The comma before the and in a list of three or more items is optional.
