This page contains also the INVIDIDUAL REPORTS from
a number of consultations on potential Future FET Proactive
Initiatives to become part of the Workprogramme 2009-2010
and beyond.
To help shape the work programme for 2009-2010, the
Commission has launched a series of brainstorming
events with high-level scientists from relevant
fields. Two meetings, "Shaping
FET Proactive Initiatives," held in Brussels
20-21 Sept.07 and 22-23 Nov.07 were a more wide-ranging
effort to consult scientific communities, in particular
those linked primarily to earlier FET proactive
initiatives, on possible directions for future initiatives.
These were complemented by a number of consultations on
specific topics. More of such consultations will follow.
Participants were invited to share their views and support
the Commission identify strategic areas, especially those
going beyond traditional lines of research and presenting
novel opportunities for collaboration with other scientific
communities. In more specific terms, participants were
asked to suggest areas that could be the basis for
proactive initiatives in 2009, 2010 and 2011, bearing in
mind that three themes had already been identified in broad
terms for the Workprogramme 2009-2010 (Massive ICT Systems (MASS-ICT), Human Computer Confluence
(HC-CO) & QIPC and
entanglement-enabled quantum technolgoies (QIPC+EQT)).
