ECSEL steekt 1,3 miljard in onderzoek en innovatie van elektronische onderdelen en systemen

BRUSSEL–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Bovenop de in vorige rondes toegekende bedragen is in 2015 ongeveer 270 miljoen euro aan Europese en nationale beurzen toegekend aan voorstellen met totale kosten van zo’n 650 miljoen euro vanuit de ECSEL Joint Undertaking (JU) subsidieronde, zoals besloten door het Public Authorities Board van de JU wat bestaat uit afgevaardigden van de aan ECSEL deelnemende landen en de Europese Commissie.

De projectconsortia zullen ”slimme” oplossingen bieden op de gebieden van mobiliteit, energie, gezondheid en andere maatschappelijke en industriële toepassingen, waarbij ze vertrouwen op innovatieve cyber-fysieke systemen, ingebedde software en elektronische componenten integreren en het nieuwste van het nieuwste qua ontwerp en productiemogelijkheden proberen verder te brengen.

 

 

ECSEL Grows Engagement in Electronic Components and Systems Research and Innovation to 1.3b€

BRUSSELS–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Adding to previous calls’ engagements, a total of approximately 270M€ European and national grants have been awarded to proposals with total eligible costs of about 650 M€ arising from the ECSEL Joint Undertaking (JU) Calls in 2015, as decided by the Public Authorities Board of the JU, composed of representatives of the ECSEL Participating States together with the European Commission.

The project consortia will provide “smart” solutions in mobility, energy, health and other societal and industrial applications, relying on innovative cyber-physical systems, integrating embedded software and electronic components, and advancing the state of the art in design and manufacturing capabilities.

Andreas Wild, Executive Director of the ECSEL JU, said: “It is gratifying to see the ECSEL research and innovation actors coming together and putting forward solid, high-quality proposals that motivated the Public Authorities to strongly engage. The results of this year’s Calls show a clear broadening of the topics covered and a better balance among the different disciplines that must cooperate to maximise the impact along the value chain. This way, ECSEL is progressing towards its objective to strengthen the European competitiveness and contribute to growth and jobs in the Union.”

The proposals selected for funding address both research and innovation actions (RIA – 8 projects) and innovation actions (IA – 5 projects), differing through their Technology Readiness Levels (TRL).

About ECSEL JU

The “Electronic Components and Systems for European Leadership” (ECSEL) is a Joint Undertaking established by the Council Regulation (EU) No 561/2014 that entered into power on 27 June 2014. The ECSEL JU receives funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. It is a public-private partnership engaging, in the period 2014-2020, up to 1.17 billion euro European Union funding, combining it with a commensurate amount of national/regional funding to leverage about 5 billion euro Research and Innovation investments in nanoelectronics, embedded and cyber-physical systems, and system integration technologies. The R&D actors are represented by the associations AENEAS, ARTEMISIA and EPoSS.
