We are pleased to invite you to an online information session on the Chips JU Call Focus Topics for Automotive Electronics Component and Systems (ECS).

The European automotive industry is undergoing a transformative shift driven by rapid advancements in digital technologies, electrification, and the growing demand for connected and autonomous vehicles. Successfully navigating this transition is of critical importance and presents both an opportunity and a challenge for Europe.  

The Chips Joint Undertaking has launched three call topics in this area as part of the ECS calls of its Work Programme 2025:

• RISC-V Automotive Hardware Platform (HORIZON-Chips-2025-IA FT1)

• AI-assisted methods and tools for Software-Defined Vehicle engineering automation (HORIZON-Chips-2025-IA FT2)

• Heterogeneous integration for high-performance automotive computing (HORIZON-Chips-2025-IA HIA)

 This information session will provide valuable insights into the call.
