12 FET Open in WP Call FET-Open : novel ideas for radically new technologies 'Open is open' All technologies, no thematic restriction FET gatekeepers define the kind of research that FET is looking for Scope defined by the 6 gatekeepers Bottom-up, but targeted - not blue sky research Collaborative research Long-term vision Total budget: 160M in Will grow steeply in the following years Interdisciplinary FET S&T targeted Instrument Research and Innovation Action (RIA) - 154M Novelty High-Risk Coordination and Support actions (CSA) 6M Foundational 12

13 FET Gatekeepers Long-term vision Interdisciplinary FET Novelty S&T targeted High-Risk Foundational Long-term vision: a new, original or radical long-term vision of technologyenabled 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. This inherent high-risk has to be countered by a strongly interdisciplinary research approach, where needed expanding well beyond the strictly technological realm. 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. 13

20 FET Open in WP FETOPEN 1: FET-Open RIA Specific 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. Project size: 2 to 4M 1 step submission and evaluation of a 16 pages proposal Proposals are not anonymous Budget: 154M Deadlines 30/09/ /03/ /09/2015 Budget 77 M 38,5 M 38,5M 20

21 FET Open in WP FETOPEN 1: FET-Open RIA Expected impact Proposals must aim at one of the following two impacts: Initiating a radically new line of technology by establishing Proof-of- Principle of a new technological possibility and its new scientific underpinning, or Kick-starting an emerging innovation eco-system of high-potential actors around a solid baseline of feasibility and potential for a new technological option, ready for early take-up. The active involvement of new and high-potential research and innovation players, which may become the European scientific and technological leaders of the future, is encouraged. Impact is also sought in terms of take up of new research and innovation practices and, more generally, from making leadingedge science and technology research more open, collaborative, creative and closer to society. 21

22 FET cross-cutting issues New synergies and collaborations New interdisciplinary synergies linking sciences, technologies and the humanities Attracting new high-potential actors, e.g., high-tech SMEs and young researchers Programme synergies at European level International (global) cooperation Promising themes Shaping emerging communities Open clusters of projects Proactive New ideas New multi-disciplinary collaborations Varied portfolio of individual projects FET Open Flagships Grand challenges Large partnerships Roadmap based longterm collaboration Promoting new approaches and tools for doing science Exploring creative R&I methodologies Future generation computing to enable advanced simulation, data capture, Digital Science and e-infrastructures Innovation European leadership for FETs Encouraging new ideas and actors Kick-starting new innovation eco-systems (small and large) around new technologies Delivery of new technology options and baselines to industry and spin-offs Digital science, open data for wider and faster transfer, spin-off and education Responsible research and innovation Social Sciences and Humanities are relevant Promoting societal debate and exchange FET Advisory Board and FET Observatory to capture views and needs widely Open access, open data policies Ethics of methods as well as of results

23 Digital Science and Open Access Digital science is about making science and research more efficient, transparent, better valued and with higher impact through the tools, collaboration models and openness (Open access = free online access) made possible by ICT. Digital Science in H2020: Content: Contribute to developing discipline-specific or generic scientific tools and processes Process: Apply modern scientific tools and processes in different topic areas Open Access in H2020: Mandatory for all publications resulting from H2020 projects Open data pilot for specific areas E-infrastructure support for OA publications and research data management & sharing More efficient science: shared resources, dynamic collaborations, democratization of research New science: New disciplines, new research topics New research methods, e-infrastructures, big data Open research collaborations (open science), crowdsourcing Citizen engagement in research (citizen science) and scientific debate Open access to research results (publications & data) and processes Better science: Transparent and replicable research Higher impact science: relevance, accessibility and impact to society and industry 23

24 FET-Open RIA in practice Strict page limitation (15 + cover page for RIA) Use FET Specific Proposal Template (for RIA) FET specific evaluation criteria (Excellence, Impact, Implementation) 'Impact' is 'Implemented' as well 'Less is more': it's the idea that counts, not the coverage of everything Consortium 'fit for purpose' Take interdisciplinarity seriously Show that it is plausible (even if high-risk if, if, if ) to achieve it (and what that would mean). Write for 'you' (the S&T world), not for 'us' (the Commission) No technical negotiation

25 FET-Open CSA call topic for 2014 The challenge is to make Europe the best place in the world for collaborative research on future and emerging technologies that will renew the basis for future European competitiveness and growth, and that will make a difference for society in the decades to come. 25
