REPORT on "Impact of FET Research Initiatives (IFETRI)"

• FET Projects pose a further challenge as they span across the ICT domain. Appreciating the impact they have on science, technology, society and so forth, requires making an effort to understand the peculiarities of each area. This relates for example to traditions around publishing, attention from media or industry, or the way new ideas find their way into mainstream research and development. FET commissioned a study to develop a methodology that is general and flexible enough to be applied to different clusters of FET projects, and to test this on the areas of Quantum ICT and Neuro/Bio-based ICT. The contract was awarded to TNO (Netherlands), working together with the University of Leiden, Technopolis, and VDI Technologiezentrum.

FP7 projects: you have been successful in your bid for EU funding.
Now it is time to tell everyone! The visibility of your project depends on how you promote it.

• Read the FET FP7 Project Communication quick guidelines ( 40KB)
• VISIT: Best practices for FP7 projects about "project communication". e.g. suggestions on issuing a project launch press release by partners,creating a professional project logo & launching a project website.
• We strongly recommend to add on your project webpage the following text & images:
  "The project XXX acknowledges the financial support of the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) programme within the ICT theme of the Seventh Framework Programme for Research of the European Commission".
  • FP7 logo - different formats & sizes
    
  • FET tree logo in different formats and size:
    - FET tree logo - 4 cm( zip file, 2800 KB)
    - FET tree logo - 10 cm ( zip file, 9800 KB)
    - FET tree logo A4 format - 72dpi( zip file, 3000 KB)
• To acknowledge the European Commission and the Directorate General Information Society and Media we recommend to add the "transmitter" image. You can download "the transmitter" in ENGLISH ( zip file, 2640KB). Other EU languages are availble on request (email: Infso ICTFET infodesk). Please read carefully how and were to use it. The EU flag and references, along with arrow, form a whole and should NOT be split up. The "transmitter" is systematically placed at the bottom rightof documents. The transmitter indicates the source of information. As with a signature, it is positioned bottom right, in the margin. On an internet site, it features in the same place and on every page. Apart from material like a poster or an image (photo, illustration, etc.) where all the available space is full, the set is placed on a white background.
