Description

FET Flagships are science-driven, large-scale research partnerships pursuing a unifying goal of achieving major scientific and technological breakthroughs over a time period of approximately 10 years. In order to prepare these FET Flagships, Neelie Kroes will launch six so-called FET-Flagship Pilots. Each will deliver a FET Flagship proposal with a complete feasibility, strategic research roadmap and an implementation description by mid-2012. At that time two candidates are to be selected from the six pilots. The two fully-fledged FET Flagships are expected to start in 2013.

The European Future Technologies Conference and Exhibition

Science beyond fiction

The European Future Technologies Conference and Exhibition 2011 is the second instalment of a new forum dedicated to frontier research in information and communication technologies. fet11 is a unique conference on visionary, high-risk and long-term research in information science and technology. Featuring an exceptionally broad range of scientific fields the event will seed new ideas across disciplines that will reshape the future.
