Priorities and funded actions

Objectives

  • To increase the level of digital skills of the EU population
  • To improve the image, the visibility and attractiveness of semiconductors related studies and jobs with a holistic approach by industry and academia (Topic 1)
  • To boost the digital skills of young people (Topic 2)

Priorities

Topic 1 – Reinforcing skills in semiconductors

  • Priority 1: Higher Education Network
    • Sub-priority 1: To support the development of a European network of degreeawarding higher education institutions, businesses and other relevant institutions active in semiconductors
    • Sub-priority 2: To establish long-term sustainable partnerships among the members of the consortium able to sustain the activities envisaged by the call even after the project end and to award an increasing number of students with continuity over the years
  • Priority 2: Vocational Training Network
