6 Excellent Science Industrial Leadership Grand Societal Challenges

7 FET mission To promote and support the emergence of radically new technology areas that will renew the basis for future European competitiveness and growth and will make a difference for society in the decades to come. To initiate and shape the development of European research and innovation eco-systems around such future and emerging technologies, as seeds of future industrial leadership and potential solutions for societal challenges. To turn Europe into the best environment for responsible and dynamic multi-disciplinary collaborations on such future and emerging technologies, including facilitating the wider training of researchers in new areas.

12 Open, light and agile Roadmap based research FET-Open FET Proactive FET Flagships Early Ideas Individual research projects Exploring novel ideas Exploration and Incubation Topical clusters of research projects Developing topics & communities Large-Scale Partnering Initiatives Common research agendas Addressing grand challenges

13 FET-Open : novel ideas for radically new technologies FET-Open is open! No thematic restriction, not necessarily ICT emphasis o New areas: space research, medicine, energy o TRL 1-3, successful FET project result is a proof of a concept in a lab Bottom-up, but targeted - not blue sky research Collaborative research Total budget: ~160M in Instrument o Research and Innovation Action (RIA) - 154M o Coordination and Support actions (CSA) 6M

14 FET-Open call Submission & Evaluation o 1 step submission - 1 step evaluation based on FET specific evaluation criteria o High quality peer review 4 experts per proposals to best address multi-disciplinary nature of FET Time to contract of max. 8 months from cut-off date o ESR within 5 months, contracts within 3 extra months
