Description du projet
Un coup de pouce pour les recherches concernant l’électronique et la photonique flexibles sur surface étendue
Le projet EMERGE, financé par l’UE, relèvera les défis concernant l’ensemble du cycle de développement de l’électronique et de la photonique flexibles sur surface étendue: de la synthèse des matériaux, de la conception des procédés et de l’architecture au développement de dispositifs et de systèmes. EMERGE créera la première infrastructure de recherche à l’appui de la recherche interdisciplinaire dans ce domaine, ce qui permettra l’introduction de nouveaux produits électroniques recyclables en un temps et à des coûts réduits de moitié. Qui plus est, il élaborera des lignes directrices pour l’exploitation ultérieure de la symbiose industrielle des technologies vertes en identifiant les meilleures pratiques et en maintenant à jour un inventaire des projets et des possibilités de coopération intersectorielle et de mise en réseau.
Objectif
The aim of EMERGE is to establish the first integrated, distributed research infrastructure supporting comprehensive user projects for multi-and-trans-disciplinary research on sustainable flexible large-area printed electronics and photonics (FLAPEP) value chain, going from materials formulation to design and architecture of
processes, devices and systems, backup by characterization, test modelling and simulation tools, through a coordinated open-access for RTOs, industry and SMEs to complementary facilities. This is a route for creating added value and road mapping the introduction of new, recyclable electronics products at “Half-the-time/ Half-the-cost” to establish a sustainable prosperity, as required by today’s science and technology challenges and ESFRI landscape analysis.
The overall objective of EMERGE is to provide access for users working with materials such as paper, textiles or biocompatible polymers to small-footprint FLAPEP technologies which enables emerging devices by using industrially compatible hybrid printing processes (roll-to-roll (R2R), functional 3D printing, etc.) accompanied with in-line inspection tools and automatic systems for high throughput inks determination, both driven by a novel Knowledge repository powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods.
At least 1400 users will be involved in the project through cross-border experiments, while creating at least 4 Symbiotic Clusters transregional connected, 4 Innovation gateway Hubs focusing on technology brokerage and 1 transversal hub valuing the results of the prototypes within a market approach. EMERGE will focus intensively
on networking among partners and stakeholders through advocacy and dissemination, sharing data and information management and exploitation to ensure a long lasting, sustainable community in line with the Green Deal initiative for environmentally friendly approaches towards circular economy.
