About this programme
About the programme
The aim of the European Chips Act, is to bolster Europe’s competitiveness and resilience in semiconductor technologies and applications to support the green and digital transition. The Chips for Europe Initiative, part of the EU Chips Act, aims to reinforce the European semiconductor ecosystem and Europe’s technological leadership and will be implemented by the Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU).
The Chips JU, with funding from both Digital Europe and Horizon Europe, will
- Set up pre-commercial, innovative pilot lines, providing industry state-of-the-art facilities to test, experiment and validate semiconductor technologies and system design concepts;
- Deploy a cloud-based Design Platform for design companies across the EU;
- Support the development of advanced technology and engineering capacities for quantum chips;
- Establish a network of competence centres and promote skills development.
The Chips JU is a public-private partnership that supports research, development, and manufacturing capacities in the European semiconductor ecosystem.

PBNv2 - a MSCA ITN in the field of automotive R&D
The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) European Innovative Training Network “PBNv2 - Next generation Pass-By Noise approaches for new powertrain vehicles” started in May 2017. Their research has the shared objective of investigating the possibilities to decrease pass-by noise of vehicles.
The project is a collaboration between 17 research institutions and companies in the European automotive R&D and provides a learning environment for 14 PhD fellows. The Belgian partner is the Noise and Vibration Research Group of KU Leuven, and this project is one of the many Horizon 2020 MSCA Innovative Training Networks that the KU Leuven research group participates in.
