FET in the context of FP7 FET in WP2011/12 236 M WP13 230-235 M
FET Mission To foster radically new science and technology based on novel, exploratory and high-risk ideas through purposedriven and interdisciplinary collaborative research Aimed at foundational breakthroughs with transformative and long-term impact Complemented with a variety of activities to create the best conditions to make this happen, and for maturing & structuring emerging research fields, research communities and research practices
FET in WP2013: three complementary approaches Open, light and agile Roadmap based research Individual research projects Early Ideas FET Open Research Clusters Incubation FET Proactive Common Research Agenda Large-Scale Initiatives FET Flagships Exploring Developing Addressing novel ideas topics & communities grand challenges
1. 1. Fostering FET-Open novel ideas Exploring new foundations for radically new future technologies by challenging current paradigms and venturing into unknown areas. A bottom-up selection process widely open to any ICT research ideas Attractive to new and high-potential research and innovation players Mechanism for early detection of promising new areas, developments and trends
FET OPEN Portfolio 85 projects
FET Open: WP2013 9.5 FET Open Xtrack - STREP 9.4 International Cooperation on FET research top-up call 9.3 FET Young Explorers 15M 6M 8M 2M 9.2 High-Tech Research Intensive SMEs in FET research 9.1 Challenging Current Thinking - CSA 34M 9.1 Challenging Current Thinking - STREP
2. FET-Proactive Nurturing emerging themes and communities Exploration of emerging novel areas that are not yet ready for inclusion in industry research roadmaps, and the build-up and structuring of research communities around them. Making the step from collaborations between a small number of researchers, to a cluster of projects that each address aspects of a research theme and exchange results.

Organising conferences c. International Cooperation b. Coordination of Communities a. Identifying new FET topics
3. FET Flagships Partnerships for scientific leadership To tackle grand S&T challenges requiring a common European effort and long term support (up to 10 years) Visionary and highly ambitious initiatives in terms of S&T challenges addressed and resources to be deployed Large-scale, science-driven, multidisciplinary endeavours with a unifying goal To deliver transformational impact on science, technology and society
European added value Strengthen European leadership - put Europe in the driving seat for research and innovation as global partner Facilitate alignment of EU and national research agenda Better return on investment through increased efficiency, sharing of risk and increased exploitation potential Enhance impact on European innovation
Scope in WP2013 ICT WP 2013 Topics Call restricted to the 6 topics for the Preparatory Actions FuturICT Graphene Guardian Angels HBP ITFoM RoboCom Budget (total): 110 M Target outcome Two FET Flagships 2 CP-CSA proposals (108 M ) 1 ERA-NET (2 M ) aiming at supporting the two Flagships
Three priorities in H2020: 1 Excellent science 2 Industrial leadership 3 Societal challenges
Excellent science building blocks 5,752 MEuro Excellent Science 2,478 MEuro 3,100 MEuro 13,268 MEuro All figures refer to the H2020 Commission proposal and are under negotiation.
FET activities in H2020: three complementary, interlinked approaches Open, light and agile Roadmap based research Individual research projects Early Ideas FET Open Research Clusters Incubation FET Proactive Common Research Agenda Large-Scale Initiatives FET Flagships Exploring Developing Addressing novel ideas topics & communities grand challenges
FET research in H2020 Aiming for radically new technologies Science-driven approach Goal oriented, interdisciplinary collaborative research Bringing together different backgrounds Project based research collaborations Novel ideas and visionary concepts Foundational High-risk / high pay-off
A larger mandate for FET research A broadened landscape of science and technology going beyond ICT and harvesting the large innovation potential of path finding radically new technologies A broadened range of FET activities FET Flagships: To enable science driven breakthroughs that can only be achieved through large scale federated and sustainable effort A broadened range of research actors Including new and high-potential research and innovation players such as young researchers and high-tech research intensive SMEs
H2020, a new level of ambition for FET A unique opportunity to shape and establish FET as a major building block of the Excellent Science pillar, with the specific aim of effectively contributing to a better future for Europe and the world by capturing and crystallising new technological possibilities early on.
What needs to be done? FET should maintain its unique focus FET should maintain its pathfinding mission FET should further develop its identity Technological neutrality Excellence as source of information on FETs First class light and fast service Respected and influential FET should have a single integrated yearly workprogramme FET should have a high degree of independence in setting priorities FET should further demonstrate its unique value
What needs to be done? Horizon 2020 options FP7 Contractual Partnership = Core Project (FP7 CP-CSA) + other projects (ERA-NET, national, FP, int l) (1) Contractual Partnership as in FP7 (core project + other projects) + Call for additional proposals supporting the FET Flagship (2) Institutional Partnership (creation of EU Flagship organisation) FP7 FP7 operational ramp-up phase Horizon 2020 H2020 operational phase 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
