7 FETOPEN FET-Open Research and Innovation Actions Continuity with WP more than 50% budget increase Early stages of R&I on any new technological possibility Scope defined by FET gatekeepers Expected impact Establish baseline of feasibility and innovation potential European thought-leadership and future leaders New R&I practices Collaborative projects (RIA) up to 4M funding (indicative) 3 cut-off dates with 84MEuro each Single step submission, '1+15' pages 7

8 FETOPEN FET-Open Research and Innovation Actions Specific Challenge: [ ] new foundations for radically new future technologies [ ] early stage, high risk visionary science and technology projects to investigate new ideas. [ ] agile, risk-friendly and highly interdisciplinary research approaches [ ] collaborations that are open to all sciences and disciplines and that dissolve the traditional boundaries between them. [ ] The renewal of ideas [ ] renewal of actors taking these new ideas forward.

9 FETOPEN FET-Open Research and Innovation Actions Scope: This topic supports the early stages of research to establish a new technological possibility. [ ] Dream 'Vision' New knowledge Establish possibility S&T Breakthrough as Proof-of-Concept New technologies and their applications 9

10 FETOPEN FET-Open Research and Innovation Actions Scope: [ ] Proposals are sought for collaborative research with all of the following characteristics ('FET gatekeepers'): Long-term vision Breakthrough scientific and technological target Novelty Foundational High-risk Interdisciplinary Interdisciplinary Novelty Long-term vision Future and Emerging Technologies S&T targeted High-Risk Foundational 10

11 FET Gatekeepers ( ) Long-term vision: the research proposed must address a new and radical longterm vision of a science- and technology-enabled future that is far beyond the state of the art and not currently foreseen by technology roadmaps. Breakthrough S&T target: research must target a scientifically ambitious and technologically concrete breakthrough, argued to be a crucial step towards achieving the long-term vision. The plausibility of the proposed breakthrough(s) to be attained within the life-time of the project must be argued in the proposal. Novelty: the research proposed for achieving the breakthrough must be based on cutting-edge knowledge, new ideas and concepts, rather than in the mere application or incremental refinement of existing ones. Foundational: the breakthroughs that are envisaged must be foundational in the sense that, if achieved, they would establish an essential basis for a new kind of technology and its future uses, not currently anticipated. High-risk: the inherently high risk of the research proposed will be reflected in a flexible but effective methodology for exploring alternative directions and options, supported by open and agile research and innovation practices. Interdisciplinary: the proposed collaborations are expected to go beyond 'waterfall' configurations in multi-disciplinary science- and technology research. Instead they should seek new solutions through genuine exchanges, mutual learning, cross-fertilisation and synergistic advances among distant disciplines in order to open unexplored areas of investigation and new directions for joint research.

12 FETOPEN FET-Open Research and Innovation Actions Expected Impact: Initiating or consolidating a baseline of feasibility or a radically new line of technology and its future uses by establishing the essential proofs-ofprinciple and their foundational scientific underpinnings. Strengthening European leadership in the early exploration of visionary, new and emerging technologies, beyond academic excellence and with global recognition. This impact can be reinforced by involving also new high-potential actors such as young, both female and male, researchers and high-tech SMEs that may become the European scientific and technological leaders and innovators of the future. Impact is also sought in terms of the take up of new research and innovation practices for making leading-edge science and technology research more open, collaborative, creative and closer to society. 12

14 FET-Open is extremely competitive Is FET-Open really the right scheme for you? Check out LEIT and Societal Challenges workprogrammes FET is not ERC: collaboration, science and technology are all essential ingredients. It is not because something has not been done before that it is sufficiently novel for FET FET is not the long-term end of an established industry's road-map (radical novelty, interdisciplinarity, ) An exciting long-term vision is essential, but also a new and plausible idea on how to get there Writing a good FET-Open proposal is probably as hard as writing a good scientific publication. 14

16 FETOPEN FETOPEN FET-Open Coordination and Support Actions Continuity with WP with some new sub-topics Specific Challenge: The challenge is to make Europe the best place in the world for collaborative research and innovation on future and emerging technologies that will secure and renew the basis for future European competitiveness and growth, and that will make a difference for society in the decades to come. Coordination and Support Actions (CSA) Single step submission 16

17 FETOPEN FETOPEN FET-Open Coordination and Support Actions Expected Impact: Strengthening globally recognised European leadership in the early exploration of visionary, new and emerging technologies, beyond academic excellence and with a strong engagement of scientists, citizens, innovators and policy makers. Improved long-term innovation potential in Europe both from the abundance of novel ideas and the range of actors ready to take them forward. Improved understanding of the range of possible impact mechanisms for long-term science and technology research. Improved readiness across Europe to engage in silo-breaking research collaboration and to take up new research and innovation practices. 17

18 FETOPEN FETOPEN FET-Open Coordination and Support Actions Scope FET Exchange networking in future and emerging R&I areas [2016 and 2017] FET Communication visibility and outreach [2016] FET Conference 2018 [2016] FET Innovation Greenhouse capacity for facilitating earliest stages of innovation from FET research [2016] FET Futures looking for new topics and strategies [2017] 18

19 FETOPEN FETOPEN FET-Open Coordination and Support Actions Scope [ ] FET Exchange [2016 and 2017]: actions for structuring and strengthening an emerging FET-relevant science and technology research and innovation topic and the interdisciplinary communities involved in this topic. This may include, for example, research roadmapping, stimulating (formal and informal) learning and exchange, expanding the range of disciplines (including the life sciences and humanities where relevant), involving new actors such as young researchers, entrepreneurs and high-tech SMEs, and broadening stakeholder engagement (multi-actor or citizen). [ ] 19

20 FETOPEN FET-Open Coordination and Support Actions Scope [ ] FET Communication [2016]: raising the visibility and impact of FET through novel and creative approaches for reaching out to various stakeholders and well beyond the research communities. This may include, for example, collecting, aggregating and disseminating information from the entire range of FET projects and activities, and using an appropriate mix of channels and formats to engage with the target audiences, including scientists, students, media, policy makers, the business community and the general public. This subtopic should include public engagement processes as discussed in the introduction of this FET Work Programme. 20

21 FETOPEN FET-Open Coordination and Support Actions Scope [ ] FET Conference [2016]: supporting the organisation of the fourth European Future and Emerging Technologies Conference and Exhibition (see for example ). The conference shall showcase progress and results from FET research, attract high-tech SMEs, investors and entrepreneurs that might take FET results forward, seed new ideas across disciplines, foster a dialogue between science, policy and society on future and emerging technologies (through public engagement), explore new ways of combining research and innovation and involve high-potential actors that will make the difference. Proposals will address pre-conference communication activities, the local organisation, participant assistance and postconference follow-up. The event shall take place in early

22 FETOPEN FET-Open Coordination and Support Actions Scope [ ] FET Futures [2017] : identifying strategy options, challenges and opportunities to stimulate and organise interdisciplinary research and innovation towards new and visionary technologies of any kind. Actions should rely on evidence from FET activities (e.g., portfolio, constituency, results) and from other sources (including other funding bodies or private initiatives worldwide, like those using prize schemes or challenges). They should aim at open and dynamic stakeholder participation using creative methods and on-line tools/social networks. This topic should include public engagement processes as discussed in the introduction of this FET Work Programme. 22

23 FETOPEN FET-Open Coordination and Support Actions Scope [ ] FET Innovation Greenhouse [2016]: actions for establishing a Europe-wide capacity for innovation, exploitation and entrepreneurship stemming from the visionary, high-risk interdisciplinary science and technology research supported by FET. Greenhouse provides innovation support services to help bridging the gap between FET research and its application in industry and for society. The focus should be on enabling the earlier creative and learning stages of innovation from FET research, for which the classical path of business plans and investors is still premature, many options are still open and a more exploratory, risk-friendly and tailored support is needed. A wide technological scope, a strong specificity to FET and complementarity with existing greenhouse initiatives and innovation services are of prime importance. This subtopic also welcomes support to the actions funded under the FET Innovation Launchpad (FETOPEN ) and for networking and exchange among them. 23

24 FETOPEN FET-Open Innovation Launchpad New topic in WP This topic aims at funding further innovation related work (i.e. activities which were not scheduled to be funded by the original project) to verify and substantiate the innovation potential of ideas arising from FET funded projects and to support the next steps in turning them into a genuine social or economic innovation. Coordination and Support Action single step submission, '1+7' pages Inspired by the successful ERC Proof-of-Concept (PoC) scheme 24

25 FET and innovation? Dream New knowledge An innovation engine Reality New technologies and their applications 25

26 Indirect innovation from a FET project Innovation is usually not foreseen in original Grant Agreements for FET The 'Dream' of a FET project is rarely investor ready Can be done through follow-up projects but takes a long time (which may indeed be needed) Innovation may happen at the fringes of a project (a tool, a technique, an unexpected path) Entire consortium may not be interested Partners may not be the optimal vehicles to exploit An SME may not exist yet, or may have been created only as a side-effect of the original project There may be enthusiasm to exploit, but zero experience to do so, especially in FET (e.g. a PhD student who wants to take something up but has no clue how to go about doing it) 26

27 Shifting ecosystem from 'R' to 'I' Dream New knowledge New technologies and their applications Reality 27

28 FETOPEN FET-Open Innovation Launchpad Scope (1/2) Short and focused actions (18 months indicative, 100K funding) Early innovation steps to improve market- and investor-readiness Based on results from an ongoing or recently finished FET project Any FET-funded project from FP7 or H2020, ongoing or maximum 1 year from end-date of originating project to call deadline The link with the originating project is to be substantiated in the proposal No additional S&T research No actions that are/were foreseen in originating project No direct link needed with originating consortium Single participant possibility Assurance on necessary rights and agreements to be stated in the proposal 28

29 FETOPEN FET-Open Innovation Launchpad Scope (2/2) No prescribed actions but 'fitness for purpose' will be evaluated, for example the definition of a commercialisation process to be followed (start-up ), market and competitiveness analysis, technology assessment, consolidation of intellectual property rights and strategy, scenario and business case development, developing contacts and support relevant activities with for instance, industrial transfer partners, potential licence-takers, investors, societal organisations or potential end users Complementary to ODI and SME schemes 29

30 FETOPEN FET-Open Innovation Launchpad Expected Impacts Increased innovation potential from FET projects (is there evidence that the chance of succeeding will be increased through this action?) Creation of concrete innovations (start-up or otherwise) (concreteness of the innovation idea to move closer to market than in the originating project) Stimulating entrepreneurial mindset in FET research world (is this providing a strong role model for going beyond the research world?) Seeding growth and the creation of jobs (is there a credible pathway presented towards a more inclusive society, growth and jobs?) 30

31 FETOPEN FET-Open Innovation Launchpad The message is not that it is not possible or not desirable to have innovation within a FET project! Sometimes it does work (e.g., SME-driven projects). Innovation Launchpad is definitely not the only way to get more innovation out of FET projects. The important thing is not what happens in the Launchpad CSA, but what happens afterwards! A launchpad supports the launch. If the FET Innovation Launchpad leads to a change of mindset, a few spin-offs, commercial successes or gazelles, then it is a success! 31

FET-Proactive boosting emerging technologies FETPROACT Emerging themes and communities FETPROACT FET ERANET Cofund FETPROACT FET ERANET Cofund on quantum technologies 95M 80M 5M 10M 34

35 FETPROACT Call - FET-Proactive boosting emerging technologies Emerging themes and communities Almost 3x budget increase compared to WP Further opening up to all technology areas 10 sub-topics identified from on-line public consultation and other sources New design in WP more 'bottom-up' while still strategic FET ERANET Cofund FET ERANET Cofund on quantum technologies 35

36 FETPROACT FET-Proactive emerging themes and communities Scope: Proposals should address research and innovation activities, aimed at jointly exploring directions and options to establish a solid baseline of knowledge and skills, and to foster the emergence of a broader innovation ecosystem for a new technology as well as a fertile ground for its future take-up (e.g., through public engagement processes when relevant, or through formal and informal education). Proposals should address a single of the specific subtopics within one of the following areas: Area 1: Future technologies for societal change Area 2: Biotech for better life Area 3: Disruptive information technologies Area 4: New technologies for energy and functional materials 36

37 FETPROACT sub-topics from FET Pro-active consultation Future technologies for societal challenges Being human in a technological world New science for a globalised world Biotech for better life Intra- and inter-cell bio-technologies Bio-electronic medicines and therapies Cognitive neuro-technologies Disruptive information technologies New computing paradigms and their technologies Quantum engineering Hybrid opto-electro-mechanical devices at the nano-scale New technologies for energy and functional materials Ecosystem engineering Complex bottom-up construction 20M max 30M max 30M max 20M max Up to 80M total

38 FETPROACT FET-Proactive emerging themes and communities Expected Impacts Maturing themes and structuring communities through jointly exploring options Emergence of a broader innovation eco-system for a new technology Larger projects: 4-10MEuro, up to 5 years (compare FET- Open: up to 4MEuro) addressing a single theme Optional use of cascade funding (e.g., for prize) Single deadline, single step submission 38

39 FETPROACT Area 1 Future technologies for societal change (1/2) a) Being human in a technological world critical interdisciplinary explorations of potentially game-changing impacts of future technologies on humanity, in plausible as well as in extreme scenarios. This can include individual, gender, organisational, economic, cultural and societal impacts, for instance from changes to self- or social perception, to our narratives, or to human development (e.g., cognitive, physical) or evolution. Visions being addressed should be radically forward looking and relatively unexplored, such as hyperconnectivity, human augmentation, hybridisation of nature, life extension, extra-sensorial perception or real/virtual blending. The work should provide fresh perspectives that challenge current thinking, include ethical and social aspects, reflecting on the purposes, impacts and motivations for the research and innovation activity, the associated uncertainties, areas of ignorance, assumptions, questions and dilemmas; and by this crystalize through active stakeholder engagement concrete options for shaping a worthwhile and responsible future.

40 FETPROACT Area 1 Future technologies for societal change (2/2) b) New science for a globalised world tools and methods (mathematical, technological, social/organisational, ) for the collaborative study, projection and engineering of large scale open socio-technological and ecological systems characterised by complexity and inherent uncertainty due to, among others, partial knowledge, ignorance and conflicting world-views by different actors. These tools and methods should include the study of informal opinion groups emerging on the Internet at a global level, and focusing on global topics such as Global Systems Science as a new integrative science approach, the emergence of global solutions as patchworks of local ones, non-rationality, the impact of open-data, the dynamics of social and cultural divides, of peace and conflict, and various incentives, drivers and enablers of change and innovation, including the arts.

41 FETPROACT Area 2 Biotech for better life (1/3) a) Intra- and inter-cell bio-technologies new technologies to enable the study and engineering of processes within and between biological cells, and their exploitation for purposes such as sensing, signalling, imaging, regulating, curing or for mimicking or re-engineering the intra- and inter-cell physics and dynamics. This can include the use of natural cells, optimised, therapeutic and compound, synthetic ones or combinations of these, as well as cell-free techniques. Where needed, multiscale mathematical modelling and computational simulation can be included. Proposals under this subtopic should also explore the paradigm-changing potential of these technologies, for instance in the bio-medical field.

42 FETPROACT Area 2 Biotech for better life (2/3) b) Bio-electronic medicines and therapies using adaptive nerve or brain stimulation for precise regulatory control of organs or other biological processes inside the human body, in order to restore or maintain healthy conditions. This includes technologies for bio-electronic medicines, drug-free therapies, adaptive drug release, closed-loop BNCI, more invasive stimulation, or development of neurotransmitter sensor/actuator systems, all within a setting of personalised and adaptive medicine and the tight integration of diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities (theranostics). A Responsible Research and Innovation approach, including aspects of ethics, as well as social science and humanities should be taken into account.

43 FETPROACT Area 2 Biotech for better life (3/3) c) Cognitive neuro-technologies integrated interdisciplinary approaches combining theory and novel technology-based experiments for understanding the circuits and pathways of higher-level cognitive functions (such as navigation, goaloriented behaviour, motivation and reward, memory, knowledge and belief formation, reasoning and decision making, emotion, interaction, communication), the related principles of neural coding and operation within and between brain regions and the role of the physical and social/cultural environment in bringing them about. Proposals should focus on non-validated, leading-edge methodologies and technologies specifically relevant to cognitive neuroscience. Target applications could include, for example, adaptive human interfaces, specific brain interfaces and neuro-prosthetics to restore or support cognitive functions or to address unmet therapeutic needs.

44 FETPROACT Area 3 Disruptive information technologies (1/3) a) New computing paradigms and their technologies new foundations for computing, including bio-, nature- and socioinspired ones that can encompass also aspects of communication, interaction, mimickry or differentiation (adaptation, learning, evolution), as well as non-technological aspects like organisational or physical/virtual architectural ones, and tailored to future and emerging challenges and requirements in highly interdisciplinary settings and for new kinds of mathematical and computational approaches in science.

45 FETPROACT Area 3 Disruptive information technologies (2/3) b) Quantum engineering reproducible, economical and scaleable approaches, architectures and techniques for designing and realising devices and systems that exploit quantum phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, for achieving new or radically improved functionalities (for instance in sensing, precision measurement, transduction, secure communication, control, simulation and computation) and demonstrated in the context and boundary conditions of a specific application area (for example in the biological, medical, materials, process, energy or standards domain).

46 FETPROACT Area 3 Disruptive information technologies (3/3) c) Hybrid opto-electro-mechanical devices at the nanoscale new working principles and their first-time validation in nano-, molecular- or atomic-scale devices based on the interaction and mutual control of multiple physical degrees of freedom to achieve new or radically improved functionalities and application scenarios under plausible operating conditions. The interacting degrees of freedom are those involved in e.g. nano-optics, nano-scale electromagnetism, nanomechanics and phonons and fluctuations.

47 FETPROACT Area 4 New technologies for energy and functional materials (1/2) a) Ecosystem engineering new models, materials, processes, devices and systems going beyond a single dimension for extreme energy and resource efficiency and recovery, and footprint management into circular ecosystems (energy, raw materials, waste, water, ). New approaches and technologies for extremely efficient energy generation (e.g., artificial photosynthesis or microfluidic conversion), transfer, conversion, high-density storage and consumption. The targeted improvements with respect to the state of the art are to be stated in quantitative terms. Genuine cross-fertilisation and deep synergies between the broadest range of advanced sciences and cutting-edge engineering disciplines for emerging ecological technologies seeking holistic paradigms, striving to reduce or eliminate the environmental impact, and the replacement of toxic/pollutant substances by ecofriendly materials should be considered. First time validation and assessment of these results in the context of integrated synergetic circular economy solutions or other quasi self-sufficient environments.

48 FETPROACT Area 4 New technologies for energy and functional materials (2/2) b) Complex bottom-up construction new technologies and methods for self-organisation, assembly and adaptation of materials and physical devices/systems with complex functionality (including for instance energy storage, conversion or recovery), complex composition and/or spanning a range of scales (nano, meso) and with superior properties on each of them. Energy and resource/material availability, ecofriendlyness and efficiency are to be taken into account). Where needed, multiscale mathematical modelling and computational simulation of materials and related production or selforganisation processes can be included.
