Six research projects selected to compete for two top spots in the area of research into future and emerging technologies (FET) have been announced by the European Commission at the FET11 conference and exhibition in Budapest. The six contenders will receive around 1.5 million euro each to refine their proposal for one year, after which only two will be selected.

Getting to know your grey matter: ‘The human brain project’ (HBP)

‘Zero-power intelligent autonomous systems-of-systems’ (Guardian Angels)
