FET Flagships FET=Future and Emerging Technologies
FET Flagships • http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/ict/fet-proactive/home_en.html • Flagships should be ambitious large-scale, science-driven, visionary research initiatives that aim to achieve a scientific breakthrough • Ambitious goals require extensive cooperation • 10 years • Equivalent to €100m per year (10x100 = €1billion) • Note: ICT focus and 50:50 support
Flagships Time-line • Call for Pilot Studies (similar to Coordination Action awards) July 2010 • Call closed December 2nd 2010 • May 1 2011 6 Pilot Studies awarded around €1.5m each for 1 year • 2 Flagships to be selected • 2013/2014 Flagships to set sail
The 6 FET Flagship Pilots Global computing for our complex world
Background to FuturICT proposal Why? What? How? What will be benefits?
What is FuturICT? New science to explore, understand and manage our connected world. Modelling the present to protect the future. New technologies that are socially adaptive and socially interactive, supporting collective awareness.
How? - FuturICT Network Bring together the fields of ICT, social science and complexity theory so that we manage societyin a resilient and sustainable manner.
What for? So what? • Global Participatory Platform • Innovation Accelerator What is? • Planetary Nervous System What if? • Living Earth Simulator
FuturICT Innovation accelerator • Global Participatory Platform • Innovation Accelerator • Living Earth Simulator • Planetary Nervous System
Innovation is not a pipeline… New Science New Ideas Money Innovation
FuturICT Platform for Innovation • Global Participatory Platform • Planetary Nervous System • Living Earth Simulator
Detect trends & innovation potential early on; find best experts for projects Current scientometrics results have a 5 year delay FuturICT will move this to near real time using alt-metrics
Establish new data publication platforms Data sharing rates are < 10% Platforms for sharing data think: Life-science data for Home-diagnostics start-up
From incentive to crowd funding Research projects Funded by small investors Based on their value to communities
