SMS - Safety Micro Sensor

Objective

Objective of the Safety MicroSensor (SMS) project is to leverage on an innovative and versatile microelectronics platform (codenamed SENSIPLUS) in development at Sensichips, currently at its 3rd iteration, that enables integration of sensors with CMOS microelectronics into a single miniature CBRN-E sensor chip of only 3x3mm. SENSIPLUS is currently being customized for the detection of hazardous chemicals by combining with the chip nanomaterials sensitive to a number Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TIC) and deadly Chemical Warfare Agents (CWA) such Sarin and Tabun. One chip can host up to 12 different sensors and it can connect to up 4 external sensing elements or detectors. The same chip will be interfaced to an external solid state Radiation Detector (i.e. a CZT or CdTe) for the concurrent monitoring of illicit radiation sources. The resulting device, the most miniaturized, low power and low cost yet on the market, will be configured into Smart Cables.
The single chip CBRNE microsensor, when instantiated into smart cables, is the basis to build easy to install and to operate continuous monitoring of critical infrastructures or scanning portals of high passage area and for use at occasional crowds gatherings. The same chip has also been designed to be included into smartphones and most other wearable devices for which it is already been demonstrated.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Coordinator

ARESCOSMO S.P.A.
Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
