The Pilots' Final Conference will present the results and visions of the six Flagship candidates. It will also provide an opportunity to hear about the European Commission's strategy for the future implementation of the FET Flagships, both in FP7 and Horizon 2020.
FET Flagship Initiativesare science-driven, large-scale, multidisciplinary research initiatives oriented towards a unifying goal and nucleated from ICT future and emerging technologies, with a transformational impact on science and technology and substantial benefits for European competitiveness and society. The goals of such initiatives should be visionary and highly ambitious in terms of scientific challenges, resources required and coordinated efforts. They should be based on cooperation among a range of scientific disciplines going beyond the ICT programme, extending over a long period (e.g. 10 years) and requiring a common European effort across Europe, or beyond where appropriate.
Potential flagship topics have been elaborated in a preparatory phase by six EU-funded projects. In 2013 two out of these size topics with the most promising ideas will be selected as full FET Flagship Initiatives.
