The European Commission presented on 11 February 2004 the first NEST (New and Emerging Science and Technology) projects retained for funding for 2004. These ten projects cover issues such as bio-terrorism, obesity, atom optics and the environment. NEST is a new research activity under the EU 6th Research Framework Programme (FP6 2003-2006), designed to respond to new scientific opportunities and challenges, and promote interdisciplinary high risk research. NEST will launch more focused calls on emerging topics that will be identified through consultation with the research community. With a budget of €215 million over four years and almost 300 proposals submitted in the October 2003 second round of calls, NEST's potential is great for further unconventional, frontier research. |
