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 both a major opportunity and a challenge for Europe.
In response, the Chips Joint Undertaking has launched three call topics under the ECS Calls of its Work Programme 2025, specifically focused on supporting innovation in this sector:
-
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)
To help interested stakeholders better understand the scope of these calls and how to apply, the Chips JU Office held an information session on April 3. In case you missed it, you can access the recording and presentations on the Chips JU website to learn more about the calls and the application process.
