FET FlagshipsThe GrapheneHuman Brain Project Future and emerging technologies shall support collaborative research in order to extend Europe’s capacity for advanced and paradigm-changing innovation. It shall foster scientific collaboration across disciplines on radically new, high-risk ideas and accelerate development of the most promising emerging areas of science and technology as well as the Union wide structuring of the corresponding scientific communities."Slide5
Future and Emerging Technologies (FET)
Expanded from ICT and Energy to be used as cross-cutting funding scheme
Supports frontier research: alternative ideas, concepts or paradigms of risky or non-conventional nature (similar to ERC)
Open, light and agileRoadmap based researchSlide6
FET Open:FET OPEN – Novel ideas for radically new technologies
Open is open – All technologies, no thematic restriction
Cut off dates: 30/09/2014, 31/03/2015 and 29/09/2015Total budget: 160M€ in 2014 – 2015Instrument:Research and Innovation Action – 154M€
Coordination and Support Actions (CSA) – 6M€Slide7
FET Open: FET GatekeepersLong-term vision
: a new, original or radical long-term vision of technology-enabled possibilities going far beyond the state of the art
•Breakthrough S&T target: scientifically ambitious and technologically concrete breakthroughs plausibly attainable within the life-time of the project.•Foundational: the breakthroughs must be foundational in the sense that they can establish a basis for a new line of technology not currently anticipated.
•Novelty: new ideas and concepts, rather than the application or incremental refinement of existing ones.•High-risk: the potential of a new technological direction depends on a whole range of factors that cannot be apprehended from a single disciplinary viewpoint.•Interdisciplinary: the proposed collaborations must go beyond current mainstream collaboration configurations in joint S&T research, and must aim to advance different scientific and technological disciplines together and in synergy towards a breakthrough.Slide8
FETOPEN 1: FET – Open research projectsSpecific
challenge: Supporting a large set of early stage, high risk visionary science and technology collaborative research projects is necessary for the successful exploration of new foundations for radically new future technologies. Nurturing fragile ideas requires an agile, risk-friendly and highly interdisciplinary research approach, expanding well beyond the strictly technological disciplines. Recognising and stimulating the driving role of new high-potential actors in research and innovation, such as women, young researchers and high-tech SMEs, is also important for nurturing the scientific and industrial leaders of the future.
