CHIST-ERA is a consortium of funding organizations with programmes supporting Information and Communication Sciences and Technologies (ICST). The CHIST-ERA consortium is itself supported by the European Union’s Future & Emerging Technologies scheme (FET).
Each year, CHIST-ERA launches a call for research proposals in two new topics of emergent scientific importance. This year the topics are namely:

The total indicative budget for the 2 projects is 7.000.000€.
Proposals must be submitted by international consortia with research partners in at least three of the following countries: Austria, Belgium (Wallonia-Brussels), France, Ireland, Latvia, Poland, Romania, Spain, Switzerland and Turkey. Each consortium partner is funded separately by a funding organization. On the CHIST-ERA call 2016 MINECO will fund the proposals which fulfill the eligibility criteria of the institution.
