The study should create a well-founded methodology for impact assessment that can be applied to research initiatives as set out in one of the work programmes and embodied by the projects funded in such areas. Such an assessment should establish, in particular, to what extent the funding given out by FET has resulted in technological and scientific breakthroughs, changes in the research landscape and environment, (re)structuring of scientific communities (e.g. new interdisciplinary links), and changes in national or international research programmes.Deadline: 4 November 2009 http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/ict/fet-proactive/usef_en.html#tenderimpact
Call for Tender: Study on FET flagship initiatives – SMART 2009/0051.Europe requires a sustained scientific effort at the boundaries between ICT and other disciplines to address today’s socio-economic challenges and to gain technologically competitive advantages. As part of the new strategy on research described in the communication “Moving the ICT frontiers – a strategy for research on future and emerging technologies in Europe”, the Commission proposes to launch FET flagships. FET-Fs should mobilise the necessary critical mass, integrate fragmented research efforts around science-driven, goal-oriented and large–scale multidisciplinary ‘research flagship initiatives’. FET-Fs should be ambitious; they should be conceived as tackling technological and scientific challenges taking inspiration in previous efforts like “the man on the moon”, “the conquest of cancer” or “Japan’s 5th generation computer”.
