ICT NCP Infoday – 23 June 2010 – P. Karp5 Objective ICT – Call FET-F FET Flagship Initiative Preparatory Actions a)Complete design and description of a consolidated candidate FET Flagship Initiative, including assessment of feasibility in scientific, technical and financial terms, to enable the launch of a FET Flagship by Objective: 5-6 projects, max 12 months b)Provide support to the setup of candidate FET Flagships by coordination of common issues, e.g. establishment of common platforms to tackle frequent tasks or shared interests, promoting networking and structuring of communities, organisation of joint events etc. Objective: 1 project, ca. EUR 1 million

Karp6 "Launch at least two FET flagship initiatives by 2013" 2009 / 04 COM (2009) 184 'Moving the ICT frontiers’ Policy background 2009 / 07 ISTAG report on „European Challenges and Flagships and beyond" 2009 / 12 The COMP Council „invites the Commission to propose Europe-wide flagship initiatives in FET to tackle specific science and technology challenges at the crossover between ICT and other scientific disciplines"

ICT NCP Infoday – 23 June 2010 – P. Karp7 Unifying efforts around an ambitious long-term scientific goal is indispensable in building up critical mass to meet key scientific challenges of the 21st Century There are a number of areas where foundational research is strong in Europe, but fragmented and needs to be brought together to accomplish such challenges A need for large-scale, focused and sustained support Rationale

ICT NCP Infoday – 23 June 2010 – P. Karp8 Concept Driven by unifying goal Multidisciplinary Long-term Foundational Collaborative research initiatives Targeting a visionary S&T breakthrough - Able to generate waves of technological innovation, with significant impacts on economy and society -Due to size and level of ambition, possible only via federated effort of the European Framework and National research programmes -Flagships may become a new instrument for shaping ERA Criteria*: Ambition, Impact, Integration, Plausibility * Based on recommendations of the ISTAG report, and currently under refinement
