NCP Information day Brussels ICT/FET Patrick VAN HOVESlide 13 Provisional draft FET/ Bio ICT Convergence AIMS OF THE INITIATIVE:  Consolidate emerging multidisciplinary Bio-ICT research community  Train next generation researchers in both biological and engineering disciplines  Provide opportunities for existing researchers to work in the EU  Find new solutions to ICT problems by leveraging knowledge in biology  Adapt solutions found in nature to solve engineering problems  Create more bio-compatible ICT devices (less training needed, rejection)  Encourage sustainable interdisciplinary research collaboration  Could include progress in biological disciplines through use of ICT techniques

NCP Information day Brussels ICT/FET Patrick VAN HOVESlide 14 Provisional draft FET/ Bio ICT Convergence Projects should involve one or a combination of:  Novel computing paradigms based on natural information processing in cells etc.  Biomimetic artefacts: H/W systems for information capture, processing or output that mimic techniques used in nature  Bidirectional interfaces: development of H/W that connects to individual neurons for information to be transferred in both directions in a natural way. NB: Non-Invasive Brain-Computer Interface covered in  Biohybrid artefacts: development of H/W with combinations of tightly coupled biological and engineered components (eg neuroprosthetics)

NCP Information day Brussels ICT/FET Patrick VAN HOVESlide 15 Provisional draft FET/ Bio ICT Convergence This Initiative has an “open” character, but successful proposals must have:  potential for significant impact on information processing  Provide solutions to currently unsolved ICT problems, or  Demonstrate substantial advantages over existing ICT techniques  a convincing approach  No “missing links” in the methodology  Integrate all required expertise and other resources in the consortium and must  meet ethical requirements, in particular regarding use of any  Animal experiments  Volunteers, especially children  ICT implants
