CATRENE, the EUREKA Cluster for European co-operative R&D in micro and nanoelectronics (Σ! 4140), opens its 6th Call for project proposals.
The call will be open from 04 February 2013 until 02 April 2013. The labelling of projects, which will commence after the evaluation and selection process, is scheduled in October and December 2013. Projects are expected to start from 01 January 2014 onwards.
Nanoelectronics
With 33 projects resulting from the five previous calls, involving more than 320 participating organisations from 19 European countries, CATRENE is an important European programme in nanoelectronics supported by industry and national governments.
The EUREKA programme CATRENE (Σ! 4140) began in January 2008 and focuses on pre-competitive innovation in semiconductor technology and applications. It aims at a Technological Leadership for a competitive European ICT industry.
CATRENE brings together all key actors of the European nanoelectronics value chain around R&D projects and market opportunities while addressing societal challenges.
Resources required have been targeted at approximately 2,500 person-years annually, equalling about €4bn for the complete programme.
