European ICT Research: 2011-2012 Outlook for Components and Systems

In 2011-2012, the European ICT research priorities are focused on a set of Challenges with mid-to-long term goals that require trans-national collaboration. Each Challenge is addressed through a limited set of objectives that form the basis for Calls for Proposals and lead to EU-funded research projects. One of the Challenges addresses "Alternative Paths to Components and Systems", it covers nanoelectronic devices and components, photonics, integrated micro/nanosystems, multicore computing systems and embedded systems.
