Is FET-Open really the right scheme for you?
•FET is not ERC: collaboration, science and technology are all essential ingredients.
•It is not because something has not been done before that it is sufficiently novel for FET
•FET is not the long-term end of an established industry's road-map (radical novelty, interdisciplinarity,…)
•An exciting long-term vision is essential, but also a new and plausible idea on how to get there
•Writing a good FET-Open proposal is probably as hard as writing a good scientific publication.

FET Flagships address ambitious S&T challenges that require:
• Setting up large-scale partnerships that bring together the leading researchers from a large number of research organisations (academia and industry);
• Commitment to a strong science investment over a long time period that cannot be carried out alone by the Commission or any single Member State
FET Flagships
26
Call - FET FLAGSHIPS – Tackling grand interdisciplinary science and technology challenges
FET Flagships are science-driven, large-scale, multidisciplinary research initiatives oriented towards a unifying goal, aiming at transformational impacts with substantial benefits for European competitiveness and for society.
• FETFLAG-01-2016: Partnering environment for FET flagships
• Pro-memori: FET Flagship Core Projects (within FPAs) funded under 'Other Actions'

27
FET Flagship Partnering Projects
• The implementation model of the Flagships aims to link together and ensure coordination and synergy of all those research activities relevant for the Flagship that are funded by the Commission and the Member States.*
• Partnering Projects are projects supported by national/regional funding agencies and/or by private funding. They are addressing areas relevant for the Flagships and contribute to their objectives.**

What it takes to be successful
Understand the FET rules and respect them (read carefully the documentation https://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/opportunities/h2020/topics/2229-fetopen-01-2016-2017.html)
Keep in mind your audience and read carefully the evaluation criteria
Start working early
Consult the National Contact Point for advice
EXCELLENCE all around, be it content, form, or presentation
