- Description
- The FET scheme, part of the DG INFSO ICT programme, is in the process of setting up the FET Flagship Initiatives, as laid down in the communication Moving the ICT Frontiers (qv). As one of the key actions, this communication envisages the launch of at least two of these initiatives by 2013. FET Flagship Initiatives are proposed to be visionary, science and goal-driven, large-scale European ICT research initiatives originating from FET but cascading into various scientific and technological areas of different maturity, from long term to more technology-driven research. A candidate Flagship Initiative should embrace research challenges that can be addressed only by joining forces from FET, ICT and other parts of the European and National Research efforts, such as from the life sciences, energy, nanotechnology or capacities programmes. This online consultation, that runs until 19 April, aims to collect broad input from key stakeholders including the scientific community and the science and research programme leaders, to suggest possible topics. The candidate Flagship topics should be science and goal-driven and target a tangible outcome, rather than merely indicating an area of research.
