ICOS is a three-year Coordination and Support Action (CSA) from the European Commission, part of Horizon Europe. It is an ambitious project in the framework of the European strategy of semiconductors.
Our project aims to support the growth of the European Semiconductor and Semiconductor-based photonics industry, through focused international research cooperation.
Thus, in this context, ICOS aims to identify and support the establishment of the most promising scientific collaborations by targeting all or some of the current leaders in the sector, worldwide..
The project will start with an exhaustive analysis of the value chains of semiconductors for electronics and photonics, the strengths and gaps of European and International industries in this area.
The next generation and emerging technologies, especially in advanced computation and functionalities will be identified, and the most interesting countries for International Cooperation will be determined.
Based on the obtained results, ICOS will then highlight the research subjects likely to benefit the most to the European strategic goals, and translate them into proposals for future bilateral or multilateral research initiatives, as well as practical cooperation modalities.
