Grants

The grant aims to create a sustainable accelerator open to all European stakeholders, providing access to state-of-the-art sSOI technology and manufacturing capabilities. It focuses on developing and standardizing Process Design Kits (PDKs) for next-generation applications, expanding industrial-scale wafer production, driving intellectual property creation, and strengthening Europe's production capacity in semiconductor technologies.

Successful proposals are expected to deliver AI chip prototypes reaching TRL 6-7, integrating cutting-edge technologies such as non-volatile memories, neuromorphic computing, 3D heterogeneous integration, and photonic connectivity. These prototypes should be tested under real-world conditions and show potential for industrial scaling. The project emphasizes leveraging advanced capabilities of state-of-the-art infrastructures within the Union, including the Testing and Experimentation Facility (TEF) for Edge AI hardware and Pilot Lines of the Chips for Europe Initiative. The prototypes must demonstrate robust AI capabilities, ultra-low power consumption, and contribute to Europe’s digital transformation and sustainability goals.

The grant aims to coordinate ongoing Japanese and EU R&I activities on life cycle assessment (LCA) of semiconductor manufacturing processes, facilitate researcher exchanges, support joint R&I activities, and foster collaboration between the EU and Japan in the semiconductor value chain to improve chip supply chain stability and security.

The grant aims to enhance the capacities of European cultural and creative sectors to address common challenges, nurture talents, innovate, prosper, and generate jobs and growth. It supports projects by highly representative, multi-country, membership-based networks of European cultural organisations, excluding the audiovisual sector.

Support program to improve home-supporting social services and alleviate the care burden in South-East Estonia, supporting the creation of new services and the adaptation of existing ones to local needs.

This grant aims to equip and empower tourism SMEs to transition towards more sustainable and resilient practices by promoting sustainability principles, accessibility, innovation, digitalisation, and cooperation along the tourism value chain. It supports recovery from shocks caused by COVID-19 and the Russian military aggression in Ukraine, while fostering green and digital transitions.

The central objective of the action is to coordinate and support the network of National Competence Centres (NCCs) for HPC as a single focal point at European level. This Coordination and Support Action aims to maximise existing European HPC knowledge and expertise across Europe by facilitating the sharing of applications, best practices, knowledge and information, networking and training across NCCs. The action should coordinate and support the NCCs for HPC by establishing a communication platform, facilitating dialogue, promoting the objectives of the initiatives, and organizing events and workshops on relevant topics for NCCs.

The objective of this call is to strengthen the European HPC ecosystem by supporting existing, or establishing up to one new, National Competence Centre (NCC) for HPC in as many EuroHPC JU Participating States as possible. NCCs will be a focal point of HPC in the respective country and will provide a wide range of HPC services and training to industry (in particular to SMEs), academia and public administrations, facilitating tailored and modular solutions for a wide variety of HPC users.

The grant aims to support the organisation and implementation of the International HPC Summer School (IHPCSS), providing financial support for the participation of up to 40 early-career researchers annually from EuroHPC Participating States. It seeks to deliver high-quality, multidisciplinary training in high-performance computing and quantum technologies, foster international collaboration, and promote diversity and inclusion.
