Norwegian participation in Chips JU ECS R&I Calls 2025 is co-funded by the Research Council of Norway

The Chips for Europe Initiative under the European Chips Act is implemented through the Chips JU.  Chips is a European partnership under Horizon Europe with a focus on electronic components, semiconductor technology and system technologies.  The European Commission, industry organisations and participating countries together develop the work program.  The calls relevant for this national co-funding call are announced under Horizon Europe and on the website of Chips JU under "ECS R&I Calls". 

Planned Calls in 2025:

  • “RISC-V Automotive Hardware Platform” (80 mill Euro)
  • "AI-assisted Methods and Tools for Engineering Automation" (20 mill Euro)
  • "Heterogeneous integration for high-performance automotive computing" (20 mill Euro)
  • "Global IA Call" (70 mill Euro)
  • "Global RIA call" (40 mill Euro)

The joint call with Japan on "Boosting R&I cooperation between EU and Japan on semiconductors" does not require national co-financing.

It is important to read the "National eligibility guidelines for Norway". These describe several requirements, including that all projects must have at least one Norwegian company as a partner. It is also important to fill out the form "Template for National Part".

Norway is participating in these calls with a total national co-financing of at least NOK 31 million. Depending on the outcome of an early call in 2025, an additional NOK 24 million may be added to the call.

Depending on the volume of submitted and eligible projects, up to 25 % additional funding may be allocated to the call to fund additional projects on the ranking list. 

National funding will be subject to conditions in current state aid rules. See more details at: State aid (forskningsradet.no).
