The Structuring Concept: Key Enabling Technologies
 Nanotechnology
 Micro- and nanoelectronics, including
semiconductors,
are essential for all goods and services which need intelligent control
in sectors as diverse as automotive and transportation, aeronautics
and space. Smart industrial control systems permit more efficient
management of electricity generation, storage, transport and
consumption through intelligent electrical grids and devices;
 Photonics
 Advanced materials
 Biotechnology
 Advanced manufacturing

ENIAC JU Three-Way Funding Implementation:
Respecting Subsidiarity
 A three-way funding mechanism like the ENIAC JU is not:
1. A programme belonging to a centralized European institution:
the majority stakeholders are the Industry defining the content and the
ENIAC member States assigning the public funding
2. A competitor for resources: the national funding goes entirely and
exclusively to the national beneficiaries, the ENIAC JU increases the
public funding by adding European grants
3. A line in the budget of a national Ministry: any budget line
supporting a project of national interest can be augmented through the
ENIAC JU mechanism
 The JU is a mechanism to increase investments
in any national priority project
funded through any national sources
that can benefit from European collaboration

Project with Aerospace Content in Negotiation
Arising from the ENIAC 2013 Calls
DEMETER
DEep SubMicron System-on-Chip (SoC) for Harsh
Environment applicaTions using EuRopean Technologies
Objective: a development platform for new families reprogrammable
Systems-on-Chip for harsh environments in order to:
(a) enhance the technical capabilities and overall competiveness of Europe
on the worldwide harsh environment market especially for satellites, but also
automotive, avionic, transportation and energy applications,
(b) reduce the dependence on critical technologies and capabilities from
outside Europe for future space programs,
(c) enable the European industry to get non-restricted access to high
performance technologies, increase competitiveness and expertise in the
harsh environments
(d) improve the overall European space technology landscape, complement
the activities of European and national space programmes.

Horizon 2020 Perspective
1. The new ECSEL JU will cover the topics addressed in FP7
within the ARTEMIS and the ENIAC JUs and in the ETP EPoSS
3. Total estimated eligible costs: >4.8 Billion Euro
 EU grants through ECSEL JU: 1.2 Milliard Euro
 ECSEL Member State contributions: 1.2 Milliard Euro
4. Project co-financing using more than one European
mechanism should become possible
 Particularly important: synergistically using regional and R&D&I funds
Regions Must Include Micro- and Nanoelectronics
in their Smart Specialisation Strategy!
