The GTS Foundation is trying hard to get funded by EU Horizon 2020 through the FET OPEN calls, Future and Emerging Technologies, Open to any novel and plausible technology off the roadmap. Four proposals have been submitted: September 2015, acronym GTS, rejected; May 2016, acronym GTSX, rejected; and January 2017, two parallel proposals, due to the complex interdisciplinarity, acronyms MAG and NET, rejected in June 2017. Now our latest proposal GTSTEC is under evaluation, the result of which will be presented in late February 2018.
Our focus on FET OPEN depends on the fact that no other research funding programme is so wide open to "disruptive but plausible concepts". The "DNA" of GTS is precisely that.
