  1. Future and Emerging Technologies Overview Calls for Proposals in 2007-2008 Walter Van de Veldewalter.van-de-velde@ec.europa.eu FP7-ICT-InfoDay, Torino, 11/12/2006

  2. Building on the experienceof FET in FP6 Future and Emerging Technologies Objective • To lay foundations of the ICT innovations of tomorrow • To foster trans-disciplinary research excellence in emerging ICT-related research domains • To help emerging research communities to organise and structure their research agenda Impact • Create new long-term competitive options for ICT • Avoid ‘tunnel vision’ in FP7, by exploring unconventional ‘minority’ options and opportunities off the beaten track • Pathfinder role: prepare for future ICT directions in the WP FP7-ICT-InfoDay, Torino, 11/12/2006

  3. Future and Emerging Technologies2 Schemes: Open and Proactive Focused on a key challengewithin a long term-vision for ICT FET Open • Open to any foundational ICT-related research • High-risk / high-potential impact • To shape emerging research communities and agendas • Coordination and international cooperation • 65 MEuro, continuous submission, CP (STREP only), CSA (CA only) FP7-ICT-InfoDay, Torino, 11/12/2006

  4. Future and Emerging Technologies2 Schemes: Open and Proactive Require multi-disciplinaryand systemic research FET pro-active • Address fundamental cross-cutting long-term challenges in ICT, such as: • Reconsidering the nature of computing and communication • Addressing limits of miniaturisation and scale-up (complexity) • Embracing ‘change’ of ICT systems as a feature, not a problem • ICT-Bio convergence • Real/virtual confluence • Mastering ICT as a tool for organisational and socio/economic transformation • Shape multi-disciplinary bridgeheads to address new R&D roadmaps • 120 MEuro for 6 initiatives, Call 1 and Call 3, CP (STREP and/or IP), CSA (CA only) FP7-ICT-InfoDay, Torino, 11/12/2006

  5. What is FET-Open ? MISSION • Pathfinder for ICT, detect new research trends • Harbour for exploratory R&D, nurturing new ideas, helping areas mature • Widest possible spectrum, supporting topics not covered elsewhere • Continuously open to unforeseeable ideas • Addressing problems of clear industrial or societal relevance foreseen to occur in the long term FP7-ICT-InfoDay, Torino, 11/12/2006

  6. What is FET-Open ? SUPPORTING RESEARCH (STREPS) • Long term, visionary, collaborative and multidisciplinary, ICT relevant research of a foundational nature and bright ideas of high-risk / high-payoff; 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 FP7-ICT-InfoDay, Torino, 11/12/2006

  7. What is FET-Open ? COMMUNITY BUILDING (CAs) • In any area of relevance to FET • Emergence, shaping and consolidation of new and dispersed research communities • Aim at establishingcritical mass, scientific excellence and multi-disciplinary diversity, as appropriate, around a new scientific discipline or research topic, defining future research directions, federating the research communities around a common challenge and contributing to the preparation of joint programs of work. FP7-ICT-InfoDay, Torino, 11/12/2006

  8. Implementation • Continuation of the successful & popular scheme of FP6 • Objectives have fundamentally not changed compared to FP6 • Implementation identical • CA & STREP only / Continuous submission 2 stage submission & evaluation: Short proposal (5 pages), anonymous, evaluated as soon as it is submitted 1 stage submission & evaluation If short proposal successful, full proposal submitted by a given cut-off date, evaluated in batches FP7-ICT-InfoDay, Torino, 11/12/2006

  9. Total: ~65 M€ CAs, 4 M€ STREPs 61 M€ FET-Open Call Fiche • Proposals receivable: • 6 March 2007 - 31 December 2008 [1] • Participation: • no restrictions • industrial/SME participation = optional [1] It is planned that the call will subsequentlybe extended beyond 31/12/2008. CONTACT POINT: Gustav Kalbe – FET-Open Coordinator gustav.kalbe@ec.europa.eu http://cordis.europa.eu/ist/fet/int-o.htm FP7-ICT-InfoDay, Torino, 11/12/2006

  10. Timing of Evaluations short STREP submission period full STREP cut-off Evaluation Week BXL 6 March 07 – 24 April 07 22 Oct. 07 4 Sept. 07 25 April 07 – 4 Sept. 07 3 March 08 8 Jan. 08 5 Sept. 07 – 8 Jan. 08 23 June 08 6 May 08 9 Jan. 08 – 6 May 08 19 Oct. 08 2 Sept. 08 7 May 08 – 2 Sept. 08 … 31 Dec. 08* 3 Sept. 08 – 31 Dec. 08* … … FP7-ICT-InfoDay, Torino, 11/12/2006

  11. FET-Open Key Messages • Short STREP proposal strictly anonymous • No partner description, no bibliography • Enforced page limit (discarding surplus v/s EPSS?) • Need for positioning with respect to a broad vision • Continuation proposals • Is not a simple ‘extension in time’ • Need to show new challenging objective, building on the proof-of-principle • More critical comparison (with respect to the state-of-the-art) when inline with a proactive (i.e. no more stop-gap, need to be complementary, not a catch-up) • CA’s split FET-Open (new communities) / Proactive • Evaluation procedure idem as before, only the forms & criteria changed (! Scope now eligibility criterion !) • In case of doubt => contact us first FP7-ICT-InfoDay, Torino, 11/12/2006
