Summary
This activity aims at building a pioneering cloud-enabled European Design Platform that will aid users, particularly start-ups and SMEs, in accessing a wide range of advanced tools, assets and services to develop their chips. The Design Platform is expected to support the design of a wide variety of technologies, specifically but not limited to digital circuits at multiple process nodes (up to leading edge nodes); analogue; mixed-signal; power; photonics and quantum. The Design Platform shall also support back-end of line (BEOL) design and manufacturing through advanced heterogeneous systems integration and advanced packaging techniques.
Detailed Call Description
The launch of the Call for Design Platform, includes two interrelated calls:
- Call for Expression of Interest – DIGITAL-Chips-2024-CfEoI -CDP-1 (hereinafter “CfEoI”) for the selection of a Hosting Consortium. Provided certain conditions are fulfilled by the Hosting Entity(ies) of the Hosting Consortium, this CfEoI will entitle the selected Hosting Entity(ies) to manage the procurement of the infrastructure to be acquired under a procurement agreement.
- Call for proposals for coordination of the Design Platform – DIGITAL-Chips-2024-CSA-CDP-1, grant funded under the Digital Europe Programme. The winning consortium would thus become the Platform Coordination Team (PCT). The type of action is a Coordination and Support Action (CSA).
Only proposals successful in both interrelated calls will be considered for funding.
Call Total Budget
Financing percentage by EU or other bodies / Level of Subsidy or Loan
EU contribution as percentage of the eligible cost according to Digital Europe is up to 100%.
Thematic Categories
- Information Technology
- Research, Technological Development and Innovation
Eligibility for Participation
- Researchers/Research Centers/Institutions
Eligibility For Participation Notes
In practice, to cover the activities needed for a PCT, consortia would submit two proposals, one for each of the above-mentioned calls. Each call will have its specific admissibility requirements and eligibility, exclusion, and evaluation criteria, as outlined in Appendix 4 of the Chips JU Multiannual Work Programme 2023-2027.
