European funding for smart electronic systems

Deadlines: 24 September 2013 for project outlines and 26 November 2013 for full proposals

The EURIPIDES² is a EUREKA cluster supporting cooperative industrial R&D from design to process and manufacturing in the crucial domain of smart electronic systems integration in aerospace, automotive,energy, health care, transport, and in all new domains like smart cities, mobility and security.

These products are more and more part of our life and environment in communication (smart phones), automotive industry (electric cars), aeronautics, secure societies, medical, agro food, water and energy. 

EURIPIDES stimulates and supports innovative projects aiming at the development of new products and services. Led by industry, these projects involve large companies, a growing number of SMEs and academia, from at least two EUREKA countries.
