The Chips Joint Undertaking organises an info session on two calls it will launch soon for Competence Centres in semiconductors, part of the European Commission's Chips Act. These centres will support companies, especially SMEs, in enhancing their design capabilities and developing skills, acting as the first entry point to the Chips JU infrastructures, such as the Pilot Lines and the Design Platform.

𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹: Selects Competence Centres designated by Member States.

𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹: Coordination and Support Action that builds a network to maximize collaboration among European semiconductor Competence Centres.

Agenda:

𝟭𝟬:𝟬𝟬 - 𝟭𝟬:𝟬𝟱: Welcome and Introduction
𝟭𝟬:𝟬𝟱 - 𝟭𝟬:𝟯𝟬: Competence Centres Calls Description (CCC and CCC-CSA)
𝟭𝟬:𝟯𝟬 - 𝟭𝟬:𝟰𝟬: How to Submit Proposals – Guide for Applicants
𝟭𝟬:𝟰𝟬 - 𝟭𝟭:𝟬𝟬: Q&A

Please use this link to register for the info session. 

Background:

Pillar I of the European Chips Act establishes the Chips for Europe Initiative which has the objective of supporting technological capacity building and innovation in the Union by bridging the gap between the Union’s advanced research and innovation capabilities and their industrial exploitation. Competence centres in semiconductors play an essential role in the Chips for Europe Initiative. The centres will provide access to technical expertise and experimentation in the area of semiconductors, such as

• facilitating access to pilot lines and to the design platform,
• providing training and skills development, support to finding investors,
• reaching out to the relevant verticals.
