© FFG I Austrian Research Promotion Agency I www.ffg.atFET 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.atHUMAN-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.atIMPLANTABLE 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.
© FFG I Austrian Research Promotion Agency I www.ffg.atBREAKTHROUGH ZERO-EMISSIONS ENERGY GENERATION
FOR FULL DECARBONIZATION
Objective: Multidisciplinary exploration of new directions for power generation
that is clean, compact and low-cost, aimed at stand-alone, mobile or portable use
…in specific application contexts, e.g. in the transport sector, for portable uses,
in remote places or in emergency situations
…heat and/or electricity generation
Battery-based solutions and fuel/solar cells are eligible

and economic and/or societal returns (~ TRL 5/6)
• Proposals must build on results from an ongoing or finished H2020 FET Open or
FET Proactive project
• Declaration about the ownership of the respective IPR (by “new” and/or the
“old” coordinator)
© FFG I Austrian Research Promotion Agency I www.ffg.atTRANSITION TO INNOVATION
