First Important Things to Know
• ARTEMIS, ENIAC and now ECSEL JU are
INNOVATION oriented, public-funded RD&I
programmes
– Market-facing developments (higher TRL) ...
– ... drawing on new basic technologies (lower TRL) that serve these
needs
• So: “INDUSTRY” refers to the eco-systems of:
– Large, Medium and Small Enterprises
– Private / Public Research Organisations
– Universities
• Eco-Systems create the critical mass needed for
sustainable businesses!

What is ECSEL?
ECSEL = Electronic Components and Systems for European
Leadership
Electronic Components and Systems are
a pervasive Key Enabling Technology, impacting all
industrial branches and almost all aspects of life.
ECSEL JU is:
The Public-Private Partnership keeping
Europe at the Forefront of Technology
Development

What is ECSEL? - Principles
 Implement Horizon 2020:
• Develop favourable conditions for investing in knowledge and
innovation
• Achieve smart, sustainable and inclusive growth
 Build upon ARTEMIS/ENIAC JU experience:
establish an autonomous organization:
• Joint Undertaking
 Build upon ARTEMIS/ENIAC JU achievements:
3-way funding
• The Union (1.17B€)
• The ECSEL Participating States (>1.17B€)
• The Private Members (~ 5B€, minus grants)

• MASP 2014 is a good basis
• MASRIA 2015 follows the same format
– Refinements
– Update of priorities
– Clarifications
– Fine-tuning of
Strategic directions

Securing the Future – 2
Challenges & Opportunities
CHALLENGES
1. Increased industry engagement vs. year-to-year budgetary
reduction
2. Mechanics (cost recognition, reporting): on-going efforts
3. Fragmentation: to overcome
OPPORTUNITIES: Pushing the Envelope
1. Co-funding from other LEIT areas (other DGs?)
2. Co-funding from other sources
3. IPCEI - tbd

New in 2015
• 2-phase call
– PO phase helps to align / improve proposals
• Criteria
– Same (H2020) but better depth and explanation
• Definition of TRL (for RIA / IA)
– “high TRL” is different for different parts of the
supply chain
