First the call for proposals

Here, you can see which project were granted - divided into the six strategic technology areas. Note that fluid boundaries and convergences between them are the rule rather than the exception. An example is the technology area robotics, which we have chosen to categorize as Advanced Digital Technology in the list, but which could also, or instead, have been classified under Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Autonomous Systems.
