Call for proposals under the work programme of the ENIAC Joint Undertaking
A call for proposals under the work programme of the ENIAC Joint Undertaking has been published. The ENIAC Joint Undertaking (JU) was created in February 2008 in order to implement a Joint Technology Initiative (JTI) on Nanoelectronics - a research programme aimed at enhancing the further integration and miniaturisation of devices and increasing their functionalities. The research strategy of the ENIAC Joint Undertaking is defined in the Multi-Annual Strategic Plan (MASP). It is elaborated by the Industry and Research Committee of the ENIAC Joint Undertaking. The document reflects the research priorities identified in the ENIAC Research Agenda, taking into account long-term societal needs and lead markets. To this effect, the MASP identifies the most important challenges to address from economic, societal and political viewpoints, and indicates promising areas in terms of market success and lasting impact. The selected topics ensure a broad participation of Member States. They also encompass the complete value chain, from technology development to applications that would yield commercially successful products. In line with the objectives of a joint technology initiative, there is room for larger, Europe-wide initiatives, with flexibility, increased efficiency and no restriction in duration or size. At the same time, a realistic representation of the underlying nanoelectronics research and development ecosystem in Europe, including large corporations, small and medium-sized corporations, institutes, and universities, should be found within each integrated project.To see the official call announcement, please consult: OJ No C 183 of 24 June 2011(opens in new window) and the following link(opens in new window)
