FET FLAGSHIPS INTRODUCTION

FET FLAGSHIPS Concept

FET Flagships address ambitious S&T challenges that require:

• Setting up large-scale partnerships that bring together the leading researchers from a large number of research organisations (academia and industry);

• Commitment to a strong science investment over a long time period that cannot be carried out alone by the Commission or any single Member State

FET Flagships are science-driven, large-scale, multidisciplinary research initiatives oriented towards a unifying goal, aiming at

transformational impacts with substantial benefits for European competitiveness and for society.

FET FLAGSHIPS Model

Advancing the Flagships on the basis of their FPAs

ERA-NET Cofund to coordinate national and regional research programmes and to fund Partnering Projects (PPs) FLAG-ERA

QUANT-ERA

CSA for supporting the PPs in their networking, coordination and participation in Flagship activities

CURRENT FET FLAGSHIPS

The Graphene Flagship aims at taking graphene and related two-dimensional materials from academic laboratories to European society.

The Human Brain Project Flagship aims at a better understanding of the brain, its diseases and its capabilities by providing researchers worldwide with digital tools and platforms for sharing and analysing large brain data sets.

The Quantum Flagship seeks to unlock the full potential of quantum technologies and accelerate their development and take-up into commercial products in Europe.

FET FLAGSHIPS Preparatory Actions

INTRODUCTION

Preparatory Actions: Concepts

What makes it a Flagship?

Unifying goal, Grand S&T challenge and Vision;

Grand Challenge and main "game-changer“ concept;

Goals and Objectives, new technologies (including

digital technologies)

Impact

Economy, society, science and technology

EU at the forefront with other regions of the world

EU Industry and innovation potential

Integration and EU added value

large-scale integration across disciplines

critical mass & involvement of academia, industry and

society at large

estimated effort scale and how long will it take to do so

Relevant Transnational, National & Regional ongoing

initiative

Preparatory Actions: Purposes

How they were choosen

■ Wide public consultation early 2016

■ Roundtable with Member States and Associated countries end of 2016 to confirm national support

■ After this continued interaction with country representatives to develop areas and sub-areas

Link

Materials, nanocomponents, and systems: nanoarchitectronics, superconductors, Quantum Engineering for Silicon Technology

Robotics, interfaces, computational linguistics: Robot companions, representing meaning & content, interface technologies for

Big data, computing and health: Digital health, sensory restoration

Personalized medicine and S&T for health: The future of health care (individualised healthcare and disease prevention system), A 4D human atlas, Biosensors for point of care applications

Stem cell biology, bioprinting and regenerative medicine: Regenerative medicine, HOPE (printing human organs)

Synthetic biology: Building a synthetic cell

Cell biology: The 4D Nucleome (understanding how the full human genome functions)

Technologies for Energy: Direct conversion of Solar Energy

Computing and modelling: Forecasting the energy demand, consumptions and price

Climate simulation and modelling: HPC platform for developing very high resolution models of the climate; Mitigating climate change impacts along the agro-food chain

Computing, modelling & simulation for understanding the earth system

Social Sciences and humanities: A multidimensional model of Venice and its evolution; Computational sociology capturing the complexity of society and human behaviour

Economy and finance: Moving European finance onto standardised pan-European virtual platforms; building a new global governance infrastructure based on interdisciplinary education

FET FLAGSHIPS Consultation

Spunti per la discussione

• Qual è una prima riflessione sull’andamento della partecipazione italiana negli anni 2013 – 2017 nelle due FET Flagships?

• Come organizzarsi per aumentare il tasso di successo italiano nelle Preparatory Actions e future FET Flagships? • Prepararsi a creare un’offerta più adeguata per le aree finora più

“scoperte”?

• Come valorizzare punti di eccellenza al fine di supportare ruoli di PI nelle future FET Flagships?

• Come valorizzare la partecipazione industriale?

• Come valorizzare il lavoro svolto a livello nazionale?
