SEMI Europe is an active participant in EU-funded projects, given its global member base and its position as the voice of the microelectronics industry.
The ongoing projects in which SEMI Europe takes part are:
-
METIS -Microelectronics Training, Industry and Skills
-
MADEin4 - Metrology Advances for Digitized Electronic Components and Systems (ECS) Industry 4.0
-
ECoVEM – European Centre of Vocational Excellence in Microelectronics
METIS -Microelectronics Training, Industry and Skills
Addressing the skills shortage is a priority for an elevated competitiveness of the European microelectronics sector. An important step in this direction is a stronger industry and education collaboration. Under the coordination of SEMI, the METIS consortium, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme, is uniquely positioned to bridge this gap, as it will implement a new strategic approach to sectoral cooperation on skills for microelectronics by involving the key players across industry, education & training and regulatory/certification bodies.
MADEin4 - Metrology Advances for Digitized Electronic Components and Systems (ECS) Industry 4.0
MADEin4 is a consortium of 47 partners from 10 countries connecting the full range of supply chain: from semiconductor equipment manufacturers and system-integrating metrology companies to RTOS and key applications such as the automotive industry. The MADEin4 Project develops next generation metrology tools, machine learning methods and applications in support of Industry 4.0 high volume manufacturing in the semiconductor manufacturing industry.
ECoVEM – European Centre of Vocational Excellence in Microelectronics
ECoVEM, launched in 2020, brings together 21 partners from 7 countries, representing Vocational Education and Training (VET) centers, polytechnics, industrial associations, and social partners. The project will establish the European Cooperation Platform of Vocational Excellence in Microelectronics to help cultivate the talent needed to continue to drive digitalization and AI and green technology innovation while achieving gender equality and increasing the number of migrants working in the industry.
