MEDEA+ - EUREKA 2365 - is the industry-driven pan-European programme for advanced co-operative R&D in microelectronics to ensure Europe's technological and industrial competitiveness in this sector on a worldwide basis.
MEDEA+ focuses on enabling technologies for the Information Society and aims to make Europe a leader in System Innovation on Silicon.
The Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (National Center for Scientific Research) is a government-funded research organization, under the administrative authority of France's Ministry of Research.
Founded in 1939 by governmental decree, CNRS has the following missions: * To evaluate and carry out all research capable of advancing knowledge and bringing social, cultural, and economic benefits for society, * To contribute to the application and promotion of research results, * To develop scientific information, * To support research training, * To participate in the analysis of the national and international scientific climate and its potential for evolution in order to develop a national policy.
Thanks to its outstanding scientific environment, Grenoble IT is a leader amongst European technology universities.
Its high-quality engineering degree courses and doctorates and cutting-edge research puts it firmly at the heart of European higher education.
EDXACT is engaged in a Pan-European R&D project under the umbrella of Medea+, named ROBIN.
Modern system-on-chip designs show a strong trend to lower voltages and
higher frequencies, while miniaturisation introduces new risks of signal
voltage distortion with a resultant impact on performance. To reduce
repetitive design activity and avoid unreliability or failures in service, the
MEDEA+ ROBIN project aims to prevent these effects early in the design
process. This is vital to improve circuit robustness and efficient use of
production equipment in Europe. It will accelerate access to new chip technologies
in key public sectors such as telecommunication, transportation
and health care. And the resulting yield improvements will have a positive
influence on costs and speed deployment.
Participants of Robin and partners of EDXACT are:
