Description

Expected Outcome:

The activities should have their centre of gravity at the TRL 5-8. An IA proposal in Chips JU is characterized by one or more of the following:-Execution by an industrial consortium that may consist of large enterprises and SMEs but also including universities, institutes, public organizations.-Using innovative technology-Establishment of a new and realistic innovation environment connected with an industrial environment, such as:

•a pilot line facility capable of manufacturing

•a zone of full-scale testing

•a development of new processes or tools and their introduction in several domains

•the development of frameworks or platforms together with the usage of these frameworks or platforms in innovative products.-Having a deployment plan leading to short to midterm economic value creation in Europe.

To maximize effective implementation of the Chips JU top-level objectives, the list of IA proposals to be retained for public funding should constitute a balanced portfolio of projects developing innovative technologies (as defined in the SRIA in the functional technology layers13and cross-sectional technologies sections) and applying them in different domains (as defined in the SRIA in ECS key application areas section). The domains represent the demand side of technologies, and the development of new technologies represents the supply side of technologies.The size of the proposal is not an evaluation criterion. Chips JU is looking at a balanced portfolio of small and large projects.
