The global shift toward digital and green technologies relies on semiconductors, prompting nations to invest in microelectronics programs. In Europe, the EU Chips Act aims for a 20% global semiconductor production share by 2030. However, there’s a shortage of skilled workers, particularly in STEM fields. GreenChips-EDU addresses this gap by focusing on green chips designed for sustainability. These chips, using eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient designs, aim to reduce the carbon footprint of microelectronics. The initiative seeks to attract engineering talents by aligning education with sustainability ideals, emphasizing the importance of green applications in the energy industry. The goal is to empower students to contribute to a green and circular economy.
GreenChips-EDU brings together European key players in microelectronics education and innovation. More information in the Consortium Partners page.
