ICT 25 – Generic micro- and nano-electronic technologies
Is this new or has it been called before?
 Most topics have been called in the past
 Technology update (e.g. 22nm –> 16nm)
 New topic: quantum and neuromorphic computing
 Call 11 projects serve as a “bridge” between FP7 and H2020.
No disruption.
