5. 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;

6. ENIAC JU Three-Way Funding Implementation: Respecting Subsidiarity
A three-way funding mechanism like the ENIAC JU is not:
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
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
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

in Negotiation
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.

Three-way funding
+ Co-financing

14. Public Authorities Board
Horizon 2020: ECSEL JU
Union Body, Legal Personality, 4 Bodies:
Governing Board
ECSEL Members
(Public Authorities, Private Members)
Strategic orientation, supervises implementation
Approves MultiAnnual Strategic Plan, Work Plan, rules, membership, budget, staff, communication policy
Executive Director
Programme Office
Chief Executive, legal representation
Consolidates Multi Annual Strategic Plan and Financial Perspectives, elaborates budget proposal, Work Plan, executes calls; monitors projects
Public Authorities Board
European Commission,
ECSEL Participating States
Representatives of the Public Authorities
Approves call launching, call rules, allocates funding
Private Members Board
AENEAS, ARTEMIS-IA, EPoSS
Defines research agenda
Elaborates the multiannual strategic research and innovation agenda and the annual research and innovation activities plan

15. ECSEL Objectives contribute to the implementation of Horizon 2020
contribute to a strong and globally competitive electronics components and systems industry in the Union
ensure availability of electronic components and systems for key markets and societal challenges, keep Europe at the forefront of innovation, create economic & employment growth
align strategies with Member States, attract private investment, avoid fragmentation of efforts, ease participation of R&I actors
maintain and grow semiconductor and smart system manufacturing capability in Europe
secure and strengthen a commanding position in design and systems engineering including embedded technologies
provide a world-class infrastructure for design/manufacture of components and embedded/cyber-physical and smart systems
build a dynamic ecosystem involving SMEs, strengthen existing clusters and nurture the creation of new clusters

16. 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
The three-way funding – private, national, European - characteristic for the ENIAC JU has been proven as an effective instrument in increasing R&D&I investments. It shall be continued within Horizon 2020.
The proposal set forth by the Commission foresees that the topics addressed so far by ENIAC JU, ARTEMIS JU and ETP EPoSS will come together in the future within the new ECSEL Joint Undertaking.
The total eligible costs of the projects shall approach 4.8 B euro.
The new rules should facilitate the co-funding of projects from more than one European sources, provided that they synergistically address the objectives of the funding mechanisms participating. It is particularly important to use this possibility in view of the regional smart specialization in Key Enabling Technologies. This is the key to getting access to the financial means needed to reach Europe‘s ambitious goals in nanoelectronics.
Regions Must Include Micro- and Nanoelectronics
in their Smart Specialisation Strategy!
