long-term impacts on society and humankind. The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU of up to €0.6 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts. Expected impact Strengthening globally recognised European leadership in the early exploration of visionary, new and emerging technologies and with a strong engagement of scientists, citizens, innovators and policy makers. Improved long-term innovation potential in Europe both from the abundance of novel ideas and the range of actors ready to take them forward. Improved readiness across Europe to engage in inter-disciplinary research collaboration and to take up new and more open research and innovation practices. Type of action Coordination and support action Indicative budget €2 million from the 2018 budget. The conditions related to this topic are provided at the end of this call and in the General Annexes. FET Innovation Launchpad FETOPEN-03-2018-2019-2020 Specific Challenge This topic aims at turning results from projects into genuine societal or economic innovations. Scope Short and focused individual or collaborative actions to turn promising results from a FET-funded project into innovations and improving their investment readiness level. The focus is on the early innovation stages from results of an ongoing or recently finished project funded through FET under FP7 or Horizon 2020. The precise link with the relevant FET project, and the specific result for a FET Innovation Launchpad proposal is intended, are to be explicitly described in the proposal. This topic does not fund research or activities that are/were already foreseen in the original FET project. Activities should fit the level of maturity of the result to be taken up. They can include the definition of a commercialisation process, market and competitiveness analysis, technology assessment, verification of innovation potential, consolidation of intellectual property rights, business case development. Proposals can include activities with, for instance, partners for technology transfer, licence-takers, investors and other sources
