Support to the secretariat for the Alliance on Processors and Semiconductor Technologies

Pays for the secretariat that runs Europe's semiconductor industry alliance, coordinating roadmaps, working groups and an annual assembly.

ClosedEuropean CommissionEU

This is a single-stage Digital Europe Programme Coordination and Support Action, so applicants submit one full proposal by the deadline rather than a short-listing round first. The Secretariat is required to organise at least one physical meeting of the Alliance's General Assembly every year, alongside its day-to-day running of the working groups and communications. Beyond coordination, the Secret…

The call funds a secretariat that supports the Industrial Alliance on Processors and Semiconductor Technologies, gathering industry, Member States and experts to close gaps in Europe's chip production and design capacity. The Secretariat organises working groups, an annual General Assembly and Forum, and communication content, while helping the Alliance identify the needs of end-users and onboard new members. It works closely with the European Semiconductor Board when asked.
