European call for future and emerging technologies

FET Open

Future and Emerging Technologies Open (FET Open) supports early stage science and technology research for radically new future technologies of any kind. The proposals should be cutting-edge high-risk / high-impact interdisciplinary research, and fulfill the essential characteristics (FET gatekeepers):

• Radical vision
• Breakthrough technological target
• Ambitious interdisciplinary research

FET Open has success rates above 10 percent and expected to increase further with the current budget. The research projects should consist of consortia of at least three partners from three different EU countries applying for up to 3 million euro.

Deadline for the next cutoff is September 18, 2019.
