It targets foundational breakthroughs that open the way towards radically new forms and uses of information and information technologies. It flexibly accommodates the exploration of new and alternative ideas, concepts or paradigms that, because of their radical, fragile or high-risk nature, may not be supported elsewhere in the ICT Workprogram. Research under FET-Open is aimed at achieving a first proof-of-concept and at developing its supporting scientific foundation. The novelty of this research comes from new ideas rather than from the refinement of current ICT approaches.
FET-Open targets research with a potential for high and lasting impact. This research will contribute to the scientific foundations of future information technologies that may be radically different from present day ICT. It may, for example, open new avenues for science and technology, or lead to a paradigm shift in the way technologies are conceived or applied. FET-Open research is not required to have direct short-term technological or societal impact.
It is normally the case that exploitation of the results would normally not be expected in less than ten years in the future and thus the involvement of commercial organisations and especially of SMEs may be minimal in most cases. - Link to CORDIS can be found here.
