Summary
The proposal should promote coordination between EU and Japan on life cycle assessment (LCA) in semiconductor manufacturing, support joint research and innovation (R&I) efforts, and explore future collaboration topics. It should also look into funding talent exchanges, enhance cooperation with Japanese research institutions on digital technologies, and support joint actions to strengthen the semiconductor supply chain.
Detailed Call Description
The scope includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:
- Organise and support networks, conferences, workshops and other actions that:
- support semiconductor joint EU-Japan R&I activities, in particular to generate R&I priorities for potential future collaboration.
- Connect EU and Japanese companies in the semiconductor value chain to exchange information and propose measures to improve chip supply chain stability.
- Support exchange of researchers and closer coordination of running R&I activities in both regions which address equal or similar objectivities, for instance on the development of a reference database for Life Cycle Assessment or Green House Gas emission in semiconductor manufacturing processes.
- Increased networking and collaboration of stakeholders from the EU and Japan with a view to addressing current needs, considering future requirements and stimulating longterm cooperation.
- The action should ensure that relevant stakeholders from both the EU and Japan are engaged during the process through regional and international workshops and a set of communication and dissemination actions.
