2020 – Excellent Science – “FET FLAGSHIPS – Tackling Grand
Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Challenges” -
H2020-FETFLAG-2018-2020
Objective and description
The
call for proposals FET FLAGSHIPS – Tackling Grand Interdisciplinary
Science and Technology Challenges”, (call identifier:
H2020-FETFLAG-2018-2020) has been opened for submission of proposals
under the Horizon 2020 Programme within the pillar “Excellent Science”,
Future and Emerging Technologies.
FET Flagships tackle grand Science and Technology challenges
expected to result in 'game changing' impacts on economy and society,
benefitting European citizens and paving the way for global
technological and industrial leadership. Because of their ambition,
their scale and their interdisciplinary nature, FET Flagships can only
be realised through a long-term and sustained effort at European level,
by building on large scale research cooperation across academia and
industry and across national research programmes, and by mobilising
Europe's best researchers around an ambitious R&D roadmap.
Under the first work programme of Horizon 2020, a Framework Partnership Agreement (FPA) has been established for each of the two running Flagships, Graphene and the Human Brain Project (HBP).
Activities in this work programme will: further support the two running Flagships on the basis of their FPAs, following Specific Grant Agreements (SGAs) and other actions launched under previous work programmes, kick-start the support to the new Flagship on Quantum Technologies (QT), further support the FLAGERA and QUANTERA ERA-NETs
that bring together national and regional funding agencies from the
Member States and Associated Countries in support respectively of the
two running Flagships and the QT one and include preparatory actions to prepare the ground for new candidate FET Flagship initiatives.
Proposals are invited against the following topics:
(CSA Coordination and support action)
This topic aims at launching Coordination and Support Actions (CSA) to prepare new candidate FET Flagships.
Proposals for candidate FET Flagships must target a visionary unifying goal within one of the following three main areas: ICT and Connected Society; Health and Life Sciences; or Energy, Environment and Climate change.
(ERA-NET-Cofund)
Its
specific challenge is to fund partnering projects (PPs) and coordinate
the national activities and support of Member States and Associated
Countries (MS/AC) to the Graphene and HBP Flagships.
(CSA Coordination and support action, RIA Research and Innovation action)
The
topic aims to build a strongly networked European Quantum Technologies
(QT) community around the common goals defined in the Strategic Research
Agenda.
