FET Plans FET - Proactive Jean-marie.auger@ec.europa.eu
Outline • Brief summary on coming calls FET • FET Flagships • fet11 conference
Call7 close on 18/01/2011 9.13 - “Exa-scale computing, software and simulation“, M€ 25 Objectives: • To develop a small number of advanced computing platforms (100 petaflop/s in 2014 with potential for exa-scale by 2020), • To develop optimised application codes driven by the computational needs of science and engineering and of today's grand challenges (e.g. climate change, energy,…) • Addressing major challenges of extreme parallelism with millions of cores (programming models, compilers, performance analysis, algorithms, power consumption ...) 3.4 – Computing Systems, M€ 45 Leonardo.flores@ec.europa.eu Panagiotis.tsarchopoulos@ec.europa.eu
Coming FET Calls • International cooperation on FET research (FET Open 9.4) Call 8 (7/11 – 1/12) • Unconventional Computation • Dynamics of Multi-Level Complex Systems. • Minimising Energy Consumption of Computing to the Limit • new FET topics, coordination of communities … (9.12) Call9 (1/12 – 4/12) • Quantum ICT (including ERA-NET-Plus) • Fundamentals of Collective Adaptive Systems • Neuro-Bio-Inspired Systems • new FET topics, coordination of communities … (9.12) WP 2013 (to be defined) FP8 (to be defined)
FET Flagship Initiatives are Large • Science-driven • Multi-disciplinary • Long-term Foundational • Collaborativeresearch initiatives• Targeting a visionaryS&Tgoal • Seeded from FET ICT but going beyond ICT • Able to generatewaves of technological innovation, with significant impacts on economy and society • Due to size and level of ambition, possible only via federated effort ofthe European Framework and National research programmes • FET Flagships are a response to the fragmentation and the leveraging of investment in basic research seeded from ICT leading towards innovation in technology and societal impact. • Partnerships for Scientific Leadership (link to Action 51 of the DAE) Mission, Impact and Integration
2009 / 04 COM (2009) 184 'Moving the ICT frontiers’ "Launch at least two FET flagship initiatives by 2013" 2009 / 07ISTAG report on „European Challenges and Flagships - 2020 and beyond" 2009 / 12The COMP Council"invites the Commission to proposeEurope-wide flagship initiatives in FET to tackle specific science andtechnology challenges at the crossover between ICT and other scientificdisciplines" FET Flagships - policy background Unifying efforts around an ambitious long-term scientific goal for critical mass to address key scientific challenges of the 21st Century
The Call for Preparatory Actions Target outcome for “pilots” “Complete design and description of a consolidated candidate FET Flagship Initiative including assessment of feasibility in scientific, technical and financial terms” • well-defined goalthoroughly justified in terms of scientific advance and impact • implementation plan, with an integrative research agendato enable the launch of a FET Flagship by 2013. • identification offinancial resources, • Capacityandclear evidence of commitmentfrom key stakeholders • adequate level of integrationand identityof the supporting communities • operational framework, with an indication of the degree of maturity of the integration of topics and resources over time. 6 projects, with a duration of 12 months
