Strategic Analysis
This HORIZON-JU-CHIPS-2026-1-RIA call demands a technology-driven, application-focused approach that aligns with the Chips JU Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA). Winning proposals will demonstrate innovative semiconductor technologies (functional layers, cross-sectional tech) applied to key societal challenges (e.g., energy efficiency, healthcare, mobility) while ensuring valorisation for the Chips JU ecosystem. The consortium must balance technology development (TRL 3→4) with real-world relevance and deployment planning to meet evaluator expectations for impact, scalability, and ecosystem contribution.
TRL 3 → 4
Establish new knowledge and/or explore the feasibility of a new or improved technology, product, process, service, method, tool or solution.
Include applied research, technology development and/or method/tool and integration, testing and validation on a small-scale prototype in a laboratory or simulated environment.
Develop innovative technologies and/or use them in innovative ways.
Target demonstration of the innovative approach in a relevant product, service or capability, clearly addressing the applications relevant for societal challenges.
Demonstrate value and potential in a realistic lab environment reproducing the targeted application.
Include a deployment plan showing the valorisation for the Chips JU ecosystem and the contribution to the Chips JU goals and objectives.
Develop a balanced portfolio of projects developing innovative technologies (as defined in the SRIA in the functional technology layers and cross-sectional technologies sections) and applying them in different domains (as defined in the SRIA in key application areas section).
Execution by a consortium that may consist of SMEs, large enterprises, universities, institutes, public organizations.
Demonstration of the innovative approach in a relevant product, service or capability, addressing societal challenges.
