AENEAS actively engages with its members to define the European RD&I strategy for the Electronic Components and Systems (ECS) industry. To support this ambition, AENEAS initiates dedicated Working Groups or Task Forces, organised by the association or jointly with EPoSS and INSIDE Industry Associations.
These Working Groups & Task Forces aim to:
- Define a common vision: aligning strategies to represent and support the interests of AENEAS members effectively; producing technology roadmaps and position papers where relevant.
- Take the lead: sharing positions, delivering key messages, and influencing decision-making through coordinated peer engagement.
- Be proactive: producing targeted inputs to address specific opportunities: implementation of funding instruments, dedicated Calls for proposals, workshops for information and consortium building.
- Stay alert: debriefing and adjusting actions to ensure objectives are met.
By participating in the Working Groups and Task Forces, members contribute to AENEAS’s influence at the European level while gaining direct benefits for their organisation, including early access to strategic information, enhanced visibility, new professional connections, and opportunities to join RD&I initiatives and consortia.
