FET PROACTIVE
       High-risk / high-reward R&I projects with the objectives:
       • to explore and consolidate a new technological direction/paradigm
       • to foster the interdisciplinary communities that are able to drive this forward
       • to foster the emergence of a broader R&I ecosystem for a new technology
         and for its future take-up
       Broadly defined topics developed in dialogue with stakeholders
       3 topics open in 2019:
       1. Human-Centric AI
       2. Implantable autonomous devices and materials
       3. Breakthrough zero-emissions energy generation for full decarbonization

© FFG I Austrian Research Promotion Agency I www.ffg.at
HUMAN-CENTRIC AI

       Objectives: To advance AI with
       • verifiable, evidence-based features of trustworthiness (i.e., reliable and unbiased
         alignment of values, goals and beliefs)
       • transparency (explainable performance),
       • exploring radically new approaches (e.g., inspired from neuro-science, cognition or
         social science)
       New data collection and ownership/governance models that go beyond the dominant
       off-line and centralised data processing should be investigated
       New avenues, such as for incremental, unsupervised, active, one-shot and ‘small data’
       machine learning, should be explored
       Contribution to the wider debate on the sociotechnical, organisational and ethical
       dimensions
© FFG I Austrian Research Promotion Agency I www.ffg.at
IMPLANTABLE AUTONOMOUS DEVICES AND MATERIALS

       Objective: To demonstrate dramatically extended functional lifetimes of
       implantable devices, e.g. through incorporation of smart sensing, self-awareness,
       adaptation and self-repair capabilities
       Included are devices that can perform advanced functions: site specific
       automigration, ability to distinguish tissue types (diseased, normal), performing
       highly localised actions (e.g. delivery of therapeutic agents)
       Abilities to blend-in with the native biological environment, to independently
       generate power, synthesise active agents or sense and respond to changes in the
       local molecular environment, are particularly welcome
       Work on ethical implications should be included.

      • validation of the quantum computation, fault-tolerance, high-fidelity (>99%) single
        and two-qubit gates
      • addressing the scalability towards large systems
      • investigations into the industrial design, engineering and manufacturing; first
        experimental production lines
      (b) SW (1 project ≤ 4,7 M€):
      • development of quantum applications and of industrial use cases
      • development of quantum SW stacks & libraries that facilitate the link from a high-level
        description of algorithms to a low-level implementation with quantum gates
      • applications and software should be independent of the underlying qubit platform

INT’L COOPERATION ON QUANTECH W/ US/CANADA/JAPAN
      (FETFLAG-06-2020)

      Tasks/objectives:
      • Roadmap for international cooperation that outlines where Europe’s strengths are,
        the competences missing, and in which of the target regions those can be found
      • Mapping the corresponding national innovation strategies in those 3rd countries
        and the available funding schemes and involved funding agencies
      • Concrete recommendations on international cooperation actions

TRAINING & EDUCATION ON QUANTUM TECHNOLOGIES
      (FETFLAG-07-2020)

      Objective: creating a pan-European agenda for the development of modern QT education
      • developement and launch of a master program for quantum engineering and industrial
        applications
      • in close cooperation with the relevant industry players in order to provide for concrete
        industry needs in QT
      • facilitating companies to host students of the QT master program for 3-6 months
      • at least 5 EU Member States or Associated Countries, along with a plan to reach the
        whole of Europe
      • in coordination with existing QFLAG CSA
      Outcome: network of the training program pilots based on well-documented best
      practices, tools and reusable training material
