Programmes Digital, Industry & Space SemiconductorsThe Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU) has opened calls to support semiconductor research and innovation initiatives. This is the first call in quantum technologies with the aim to step up investment in frontier technologies, in particular quantum chips for computing and sensing.
The EU funding for this call of €65 million is expected to be matched by the participating states of the Chips JU. This is part of the €200 million EU investment in quantum chips envisaged under the Chips JU over the next three years.
The call will select projects for the development and manufacturing of quantum technologies to enhance innovation in Europe and pave the way for establishing a manufacturing supply chain for quantum chips in Europe.
Real-world applications include solving complex optimisation problems in logistics and supply chain management, accelerating drug discovery through molecular simulations, enhancing cybersecurity with advanced encryption methods, and improving artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms.
More detailed information about the calls and the application process:
The deadline to submit proposals for these calls is 21 January 2025 (17.00 CET).
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
