Project
International Cooperation in Semiconductors
Description
ICOS (International Cooperation On Semiconductors) is a CSA aiming at answering the Horizon Europe call for support on International Cooperation in Semiconductors (HORIZON-CL4-2022-DIGITAL-EMERGING-01-38). Its main objective is to support the Commission in its effort to re-establish the global position of Europe in the semiconductor value chain, as advocated by the European Chips Act, by identifying topics on which research cooperation with leading semiconductor countries could be beneficial to the growth of the European industry. Following an in-depth analysis of
a) semiconductor value chains, including semiconductor-based photonics,
b) strengths and gaps of European industry and
c) next-generation and emerging technologies.
ICOS shall push forward topics on bilateral or multilateral research initiatives with other leading countries, like USA, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and China, that could strengthen the European position, while considering compatibility with European policies on sustainability, fair trade, and human rights. As its main outcome, ICOS provides advice to the Commission on joint research initiatives on specific topics with selected leading countries, and offers support in their implementation, based on well documented analysis of value chains and the mutual advantages of potential collaboration.
Financing
Project funded by the Horizon Europe programme under a contract with the European Research Executive Agency.
