Joint EU/Republic of Korea Chips Projects announced

Digital, Industry & Space Semiconductors

The European Union and the Republic of Korea announce support for four jointly funded projects in semiconductors as a deliverable of the EU-Republic of Korea Digital Partnership.

The projects will advance heterogeneous integration technologies i.e. technologies combining multiple components onto one chip as well as neuromorphic computing technologies i.e. technologies imitating the functioning of the human brain. 

The projects will bring together research and innovation partners from the EU and the Republic of Korea to set up joint research teams, provide shared access to cutting-edge facilities and infrastructures and organise knowledge exchange through events.

The selected joint EU-ROK projects are:

  • ENERGIZE (developing brain-like circuits that use two-dimensional materials. This saves energy and the circuits can handle AI tasks effectively without needing centralised data centres);
  • NEHIL (developing a laser-based radar system that integrates different technologies to efficiently measure distances with high precision);
  • HAETAE (developing brain-like chips that use light in their circuitry to quickly and efficiently process AI tasks and adapt to new tasks);
  • ViTFOX (upgrading AI that processes visual data by using special materials that help save power and improve performance- materials such as ferroelectric oxides).

These are 3-year projects co-funded by the Chips Joint Undertaking under Horizon Europe, and the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF).

For more information on the projects please consult the European Commission's news article.

iCARE4CVD: Thomas More participates in research on improving patient care

Funded under Horizon Europe’s Innovative Health Initiative (HORIZON-JU-IHI-2022-02-01) and running from 2023 to 2028, the iCARE4CVD project aims to improve patient care across the board, starting from those at risk of developing cardiovascular disease to those with advanced heart failure. Thomas More University of Applied Sciences plays an important role in the project focusing data analysis and AI modeling as well as on the implementation of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures and Patient-Reported Experience Measures.
