Projects are expected to contribute to the following expected outcomes:

• Advanced heterogeneous integration, particularly in 2.5D and 3D packaging and integrated photonics, to support AI functionalities.

• Standardised chiplet interfaces, enabling interoperability and fostering a dynamic chiplet ecosystem

Expected outcomes should have direct and immediate impact on European industry.

Furthermore, proposed projects should demonstrate solutions across laboratory and pilot environments, with verification in semiconductor manufacturing use cases. The centre of gravity of envisaged work should address Technology Readiness Levels 5-7. Proposals also need to facilitate knowledge transfer and promote stakeholder engagement through industry workshops, publications, and networking events.
