We are pleased to invite you to an online information session on the Chips JU Call for Pilot Line on Advanced Photonic Integrated Circuits.

The proposed pilot line will serve as a critical infrastructure for bridging the gap between laboratory research and industrial-scale production, facilitating the development of reliable, scalable, and cost-effective Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC) solutions.

The Chips Joint Undertaking is organising three interrelated calls for this Pilot Line as part of the European Commission Chips Act. An applicant consortium shall submit one application with three interrelated proposals, one for each of these interrelated calls:

• Call for Expression of Interest for the selection of a Hosting Consortium (DIGITAL-Chips-2024-CfEoI-CPL-5)

• Call for proposals for Set-up, integration and process development, funded under the Horizon Europe Programme (HORIZON-Chips-2024-RIA-CPL-5)

• Call for proposals for the operational activities of the pilot line, funded under the Digital Europe Programme (DIGITAL-Chips-2024-SG-CPL-5)

This information session will provide valuable insights into the call, including submission guidelines.

Agenda
