•establish a platform that nurtures the growth of a design ecosystem in Europe;
•ease of the access to training, customer support, intellectual property and leading-edge design tools;
•support efficient fabrication of application-specific integrated circuits, photonics, micro-electromechanical systems, and sensors, and their integration at system level;
•support technology offerings of research centres with lower TRL to be promoted over the platform;
•proposal for long-term operation of the platform to support universities and European research centres.
PI eligibility
Proposals must take the form of coordination and support actions, which require one or more legal entities established in an EU member state, Horizon Europe associated country or, in exceptional cases, another third country.
