ProgrammesThe APECS Pilot Line Open Access Call opens on 1 April. It aims to provide access to advanced semiconductor technologies for businesses, research organisations, and universities. Participants can submit project ideas to utilise top-tier R&D infrastructure for testing and validating their innovations.
The first APECS Pilot Line Open Access Call, starting on 1 April, invites companies, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), startups, research and technology organisations (RTOs), and universities to submit project ideas for selected pilot line technologies. This initiative seeks to enable access to advanced infrastructure for semiconductor research and development. Participants can test and validate their semiconductor innovations using various available technologies, including:

Background:
APECS is the Pilot Line for Advanced Packaging and Heterogeneous Integration for Electronic Components and Systems. Co-funded by Horizon Europe, Digital Europe and Member State authorities, it brings together the technological competences, infrastructure, and know-how of ten partners from eight European countries: Germany (Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft as coordinator, FBH, IHP), France (CEA-Leti), Belgium (imec), Finland (VTT), Austria (TU Graz), Greece (FORTH), Spain (IMB-CNM, CSIC) and Portugal (INL).
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).
Stay informed about what matters to you.
By signing up, you can opt in for e-mail notifications and get access to

The Digital Europe-funded project LLM-Bridge has issued a cascade funding call to fund a high-quality, EU-based incubator capable of supporting startups in the transforming of early-stage GenAI ideas into viable, scalable, and ethically compliant ventures. read more
The Stargate project obtained funding under the special Green Deal call of Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic of “green ports and airports”. It received the maximum score of the evaluators and was selected out of more than 40 projects. Stargate’s purpose is to prove that sustainable aviation is possible and happening. It focuses on the further decarbonization of the aviation industry, the improvement of local environmental quality and the stimulation of the modal split. Together with a consortium of 21 European partners with a diverse and rich expertise (airports, community partners, knowledge institutions, consultants, local governments, …), Brussels Airports takes the lead as lighthouse airport to develop and implement innovative solutions. Results that prove successful can be deployed at the fellow airports (Toulouse, Budapest, Athens). Over the course of the coming five years, the consortium will exchange knowledge to investigate and realize more than 30 concrete projects.
