FET

The commission already supports three scientific mega-projects known as FET Flagships—on the brain, graphene and quantum technologies—which are each funded to the tune of around €1 billion over 10 years.

The FET Flagships were designed to tackle major scientific and technological challenges and contribute to societal and economic well-being in Europe.

FET stands for future and emerging technologies, and its flagship projects aim to promote digital technologies while addressing policy priorities.

FET programs could serve as a “test bed for the EIC,” and the advisory board is drafting a plan to that effect, he says.

Only in the last couple of decades have FET technologies achieved high enough power densities and efficiencies to allow miniaturization of high-power rectifiers needed to run high-torque brushless motors.
