In February 2018, the European Commission Horizon 2020 announced another 27 excellent FET-Open proposals for research on future disruptive technologies. The 27 champions won over a total of 395 applications submitted to the last FET-Open Research and Innovation Actions call which closed in September 2017.
The September 2017 call was the third and the last under the Work Programme 2016-2017, bringing the number of ongoing Horizon 2020 FET-Open Research and Innovation Actions to 123, funded with about €400 million by the EU. From 2018 to 2020, FET Open will be part of the European Innovation Council pilot. During this period, the EU will invest another €647.5 million in approximately 200 ambitious high-risk / high-impact interdisciplinary research projects on future disruptive technologies.
I’m pleased to be appointed as a Scientific Advisor for one of the 27 champions and look forward to being part of the project team. Stay tuned for more updates!
