industry & public Consolidation of research agendas

Foster coordination of national, regional and international programmesand activities

Encouraging establishment of new educational curricula

Actions specifically aiming at networking of research activities atnational or regional level

Efforts towards definition of future FET Initiatives, either:

Identifying new research topics

Position paper with need for action, research challenges andimpact foreseen in science, technology and society.should not be at project level but at proactive initiative level!

or: Assessing emerging global S&T trends in ICT

That could lead to the definition of research topics, to overcomeroadblocks and set the future picture assess the potential of recent breakthroughs in FET related

research

Projects should provide first inputs by Spring 2010!

What is expected?

information about the system, and use it effectively.2. Dynamic self-expression, namely the ability to

autonomically use awareness to adapt the trade-offbetween abstraction and optimisation.

rationale and objectives

Rationale In Nanoelectronics and ICT, it is particularly important to

encourage nano-microscopic mechanisms of energyharvesting and more efficient power generation, as well aswork on complete functional nanosystems, e.g. for biosensing.

The topic has strong interdisciplinary aspects, as energyharvesting principles are based on physics, chemistry andbiology. It is also relevant from a societal point of view as itreduces conventional power consumption and permits newapplications in e.g. health care.

General objective

Explore new disruptive directions for energy-harvestingtechnologies at the nanometre and molecular scale, and theirintegration with low-power ICT into autonomous nano-scaledevices for sensing, processing, actuating and communication.


30/41

1. Foundations of Energy Harvesting at the nano-scale:

Demonstration of radically new strategies for energy harvestingand local storage below the micrometer scale. Exploration andharnessing of potential energy sources at that scale, includingkinetic energy present in the form of random fluctuations, ambient

electromagnetic radiation, chemical energy and others. Researchmay also address bio-mimicked energy collection and storagesystems.

2. Self-powered autonomous nano-scale electronic devices:

Autonomous nano-scale electronic devices that harvest energyfrom the environment, possibly combining multiple sources, andstore it locally. These systems would co-ordinate low-powersensing, processing, actuation, communication and energyprovision into autonomous wireless nanosystems.

Expected Impact
