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.

MareGraph - Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph

The MareGraph project, ‘Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph’, obtained funding under the Digital Europe topic ‘OPEN-AI – Public Sector Open Data for AI and Open Data Platform’. The project will increase the semantic, technical, and legal interoperability of three selected high-valued datasets (HVDs) all maintained by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), which is one of the four partners of the project. This will allow the onboarding of essential marine datasets in the Common European Data Spaces. As such MareGraph will provide a structural component in the digital transition of the marine landscape. The numerous impacts of the project will benefit our seas globally in old and new ways to come.
