Published on | 8 months ago

Programmes Digital Europe Semiconductors

The Chips for Europe Initiative (the “Initiative”) is established by Pillar I of the European Chips Act for the
duration of the Multiannual Financial Framework 2021-2027. It aims to strengthen the EU's semiconductor
ecosystem, to boost competitiveness and achieve technological sovereignty.The implementation of the Initiative is designed in a way to pool resources from the Union, the Member States as well as the private sector. The total Union funding amounts to 3,3 billion EUR, which includes funding from Horizon Europe and from the Digital Europe Programme (DEP).

Knowledge of underlying EU policies and legislations is a key element in Digital Europe proposals as they play an important role in the “relevance” evaluation criterion. This Policy Briefing is one of several briefings prepared by DEP4ALL, the NCP Network for the Digital Europe programme, to support applicants with summaries of relevant EU initiatives.

ScreenME - Enhancing excellence in screen media entrepreneurship

The Horizon2020 twinning project ScreenME has as its objective to enhance excellence in screen media entrepreneurship at Tallinn University (TLU). To do so, ScreenME has established a network of universities across Europe that aim to improve research into and teaching of entrepreneurship for the screen media industry. ScreenME will develop a teaching course and will kick off research initiatives and projects on entrepreneurial activities in media organisations. The research group on ‘Studies in Media, Innovation and Technology (SMIT)’ of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is partner in the network and is involved in two cross-cutting activities of the project: support for early stage researchers and developing stakeholder involvement.
