GENerate in Europe a Sustainable Industry for Semiconductor

Objective

GENESIS, backed by Horizon Europe, aims to make semiconductor manufacturing sustainable, aligning with the European Green Deal, by minimizing environmental impact with eco-friendly innovations.
[Objectives] GENESIS aims to replace harmful materials with safer options, improve waste management, and enhance the use and recyclability of scarce materials.
[Innovations] GENESIS introduces innovations in three key areas:
• Innovative materials: PFAS-free polymer and eco-friendly gas alternatives complying with EU regulations.
• Waste & emissions monitoring: Cutting-edge sensors detect hazardous substances for efficient aqueous and gas waste elimination, reducing environmental and health risks.
• Scarce material management: New integration technologies optimize material usage and initiate recycling of scarce materials like Gallium, Niobium, and silicon carbide.
[Methodology] GENESIS employs four technical work packages to research sustainable material substitution, emission reduction, and resource management. This modular approach promotes scalability and integration with existing processes, fostering a circular economy in the semiconductor sector. Supervised by management work packages, it quantifies environmental efficiency and engages in dissemination to promote European technological achievements
[Outcomes] The project targets a 50% cut in hazardous materials, 30% decrease in emissions and waste, and improved scarce material recyclability, boosting EU semiconductor sustainability and global competitiveness.
[Impact] GENESIS supports EU's tech sovereignty and resilience through accurate monitoring and sustainable practices. It positions Europe as a leader in sustainable semiconductor tech, setting new standards for impact-oriented communication and dissemination.

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: The European Science Vocabulary.

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.
