This new series of calls will continue to support the European semiconductor industry by strengthening collaboration, industrial competitiveness, and knowledge transfer from laboratories to factories. Consortia can submit proposals on topics addressing a wide range of challenges defined in the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda, from transistors in silicon chips to embedded AI, connectivity, and the coordination and control of complex systems to improve performance and safety.
Furthermore, the projects funded in these new calls will contribute to the development of open-source hardware for the automotive industry, support the transition to software-driven vehicles, and promote environmentally friendly manufacturing processes. A specific joint call with the Republic of Korea will boost heterogeneous integration and neuromorphic (brain-like) computing technologies.
These calls are aimed at consortia formed by EU industrial players active in these fields from all Member States. They are expected to receive proportional funding from the Member States participating in Chips JU and investment from the private sector. Applicants can submit their funding applications through the funding and tendering opportunities portal until May 14, 2024 (first deadline).
