Strengthening Europe’s Semiconductor Ecosystem – A Call to the Scientific Community

ChipsC2-LT informs about a Europe-wide call launched by the EU Chips Design Platform (EuroCDP) for mentors, experts, and keynote speakers aimed at shaping the next generation of integrated circuit (IC) design start-ups.

This initiative offers the academic community an opportunity to actively contribute to strengthening Europe’s semiconductor sector and advancing innovation.

Who is the call for?

Researchers, scientists, and academic staff with experience in:

• deep tech,
• integrated circuit (IC) design,
• technology commercialization and entrepreneurship,
• leadership or participation in international research and innovation projects.

Experts who are willing to share practical knowledge, mentor emerging teams, and contribute to high-level thematic presentations are especially encouraged to apply.

Why participate?

By joining EuroCDP activities, you will:

• Contribute to strengthening Europe’s semiconductor and IC design capabilities;
• Become part of a Europe-wide network of innovators, companies, academia, and investors;
• Help transform science-based ideas into successful start-ups;
• Support Europe’s competitiveness in strategically important high-tech sectors.

Academic expertise and research experience are essential for building a sustainable and advanced semiconductor ecosystem in Europe. We therefore encourage representatives of research and higher education institutions to actively engage in this initiative.

More information about the participation conditions is available on the EuroCDP website.
