New Chips JU calls now open for applications, worth over 300 million in EU funding.
The calls span the two pillars of the programme: Electronic Components and Systems (ECS), which funds research and innovation projects, and the Chips for Europe Initiative, which funds capacity building and infrastructure.
On the ECS side, the focus ranges from research and innovation targeted resilience actions in power electronics, photonics and health, to calls on 6G connectivity, software-defined vehicles and international cooperation.
On the Chips for Europe Initiative side, the calls cover skills and chip design training, AI chip demonstrators, an AI compute evaluation platform and a joint call with Japan.
Deadlines fall between mid and late September 2026, depending on the call.
