To support research that is:– Visionary and exploratory
– Longer term or high risk
– A nursery of novel ideas - trend setting
It is a multidisciplinary job:– It covers all areas covered by the Key Actions +++
– from a different perspective.
The budget is about 300 Meuros Two ways of working
– Open - calls without themes - anything goes
– Proactive - highly focused and integrated initiatives

Accept any idea of quality*
Widest possible spectrum Proposals submitted at any time Innovative work that could lead to breakthroughs or
major advances:– Bold ideas involving high risks
– Longer term research
*Quality in FETs = Innovative idea, with potential for strong impact, advancing the state of the art; may be high risk or long term or combination of both

Can we make, in the long term, quantum computers that scale up and are cost effective?
What problems would they be able to solve?
Are these problems of sufficient interest to justify development?
What may be other applications of quantum systems that would require a modest number of qubits?
