SCOPE project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement N°730033

Project Summary

The SCOPE project (Support and Coordination of the Partnering Environment for FET Flagships) aims to answer the challenge of coordination and building of partnerships environment of the two Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) Flagships, Graphene and Human Brain Project, to ensure that their visionary and highly ambitious goals are achieved.

 

SCOPE’s aim is to help create an “ecosystem” where the Flagships Core Projects co-exist and interact with the Partnering Projects and Associated Members by leveraging additional resources that would enable the two Flagships to deliver a coherent approach to Partnering Projects and Associated Members and, ultimately, extend the Flagships’ outreach and ability to benefit the research community in Europe and internationally.

Project Consortium

The consortium of the project is composed by FECYT (Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology, Spain) who is the Coordinator, ESF (European Science Foundation, France) for the Graphene Flagship, and EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland) for the Human Brain Project Flagship.

Role of ESF

ESF leads the Work Package 3 Strategic Dialogue and Engagement for Fostering Partnering Environment for GRAPHENE Project. The main objective of Work Package 3 is to provide support and guidance to the Partnering Projects and Associated Members of the Graphene Flagship in order to help them organise within the Partnering Division and facilitate the interactions amongst themselves and with the Graphene Core Project.

Timeline & Funding
