Joint EU/Republic of Korea Chips Projects announced

Published on | 11 months ago

Programmes 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.

AI4Culture - Empowering Cultural Heritage through Artificial Intelligence

The AI4Culture project, funded under Digital Europe call Data space for cultural heritage (deployment) aims to develop an online capacity building hub for AI technologies in the cultural heritage sector. This hub contributes to the creation of the European common cultural heritage data space, which provides support to the digital transformation of Europe’s cultural sector and fosters the creation and reuse of content in cultural and creative sectors. The Flemish company CrossLang is one of the 12 partners in the project and brings in its year-long expertise in the development of multilingual technology to the transcription and translation of scanned printed and handwritten documents.
