Future and Emerging Technologies

Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) research is long term and high risk but purpose driven.  There are two funding methods:

FET Open - is a 'roots-up' approach for exploring visionary ideas that can contribute to challenges of long term importance for Europe. The scheme stimulates non-conventional targeted exploratory research cutting across all disciplines, exploring and nurturing new research trends and helping them mature in emerging research communities.

FET Proactive - these are initiatives aimed at focusing resources on visionary and challenging long-term goals that are timely and have strong potential for future impact. These goals provide a common strategic perspective and a focal point around which a critical mass of research can be assembled and synergies developed.  Proactive initiatives are launched through calls for proposals. The total budget per initiative in a call may be in the range of 15 to 30 million euros.

Research

The FET Open scheme covers research which is ICT-relevant, visionary, high quality, long-term research of a foundational nature, involving bright new ideas of high-risk - high-pay-off, aiming at a breakthrough, a paradigm shift, or at the proof of a novel scientific principle. Or research refining the visionary ideas that have gone past the proof-of-concept phase to bring them to the maturity level where they could be taken up by the mainstream ICT programme objectives.
