FET Flagships deadline moved to 10 June 2014

The deadline for the Future Emerging Technologies (FET) Flagships under Horizon 2020 has been moved to 10 June 2014, the European Commission has announced.

The deadline change affects the calls ‘FETFLAG 1-2014: Framework Partnership Agreement’ and ‘FETFLAG 2-2014: Policy Environment for FET Flagships’.

The objective of FETFLAG 1 is to establish, for each of the FET Flagships, a stable and structured partnership between the Commission and the institutions and organisations who commit themselves to establish, maintain and implement the strategic research roadmap of the flagship. These partnerships will be set up through a Framework Partnership Agreement (FPA), which will cover the full initiative in order to enable the completion of the research roadmap within the context of the agreement. The total call budget is €1.6m.

The overall challenge of FETFLAG 2 is to foster a common European effort by contributing to dissemination efforts, impact assessments and other actions that support and strengthen the FET Flagships. This also extends to enhancing the interplay between FET Flagships and other Union policies, and technology transfer towards exploitation. Any proposal has to demonstrate that it adds value beyond the activities implemented in each the FET Flagship project. The call’s budget is also €1.6m.

‘Graphene’ and ‘The Human Brain Project’ were announced as the FET Flagship winners last year.
