the European Commission
FET mission:
•Redefine what is possible
•Insist on visions
•Support high risk high impact research
•Insist on open boundaries between disciplines
•Reflect on technology's role in society

Some examples how FET attemptsto 'span the arc of science'

All these challenges necessitate an integrated view
of nature, society, economics and novel technologies

Conclusions
Energy & Sustainability & Policy
are huge & urgent problems
Complex Systems Science
necessary if not sufficient
ASSYST & GSD & others
provide support structures
ESRC, EPSRC, NERC, EU-FET, Complexity-Net,
provide funding
