FET Flagship Initiatives are visionary, science-driven, goal-oriented, large-scale, multidisciplinary research initiatives nucleated from ICT future and emerging technologies. They are envisioned to be long term programmes on a scale much beyond current FET Proactive Initiatives. Activities in this work programme target Coordination and Support Actions to prepare for such FET Flagship Initiatives. (Source: WP 2011-2012)
FET Flagships should generate a wave of technological innovation and economic exploitation, ideally in a variety of areas and sectors, and would carry an important societal impact.
Flagships Initiatives is addressed in the ICT work programme 2011/12 (p.100) under the following challenges/objectives:
> Future and Emerging Technologies (FET)
