Publication by the European Commission of a call for future and emerging technologies
6 September 2011- The European Commission published on 20th of July a topic ENERGY.2012.10.2.1: Future and Emerging Technologies.
This topic open in call FP7-ENERGY-2012-1 aims at ensuring a genuine chance for "emerging ideas".
Materials research is probably the most important element for the development of the necessary technologies needed to provide a clean, reliable supply of efficient energy. The aim is to push the limits of the future emerging technologies, at the same time encouraging the materials community to work together and share their findings. EC support under the current Framework Programme (FP7, 2007-2013) has been targeting research across a wide spectrum of novel materials for energy applications. This is done within Future Emerging Technologies scheme of the Energy theme. The supported research is highly novel and ambitious. The research scheme is completely "bottom-up" and scientists are encouraged to think "out-of-the-box". Proposals are judged by looking at the potential impact of the new concepts, components and technologies to be developed. Novel multi-disciplinary ideas are of particular interest under FP7.
The deadline for submission of proposals is 25 October 2011 at 17:00:00
