Opis
Expected Outcome:
The expected outcomes of this topic are :
• Functional demonstrators of working AI chip prototypes (PCB-level) designed by EU fabless companies and physically integrated with their system partners.
• Validation of AI chip solutions on a common EU evaluation platform (provided by the Topic X.B consortium), delivering comparative evidence on key performance indicators.
• A shortlist of European AI chip solutions awarded the AI Compute Excellence label and qualified to proceed to full rack development under Topic X.A2.

Warunki
Fakty wyodrębnione z dokumentów źródłowych w przeglądzie danych Scindu. Każda wartość ma własne warunki. Brak danych oznacza, że źródło nie podaje wartości, a nie zero ani brak limitu.
- Nabór zamknięty
- Nie
- Inny warunek
- The official Part B template asks applicants to list staff included in the project budget (budget category A) by function/profile and briefly describe their tasks. This is an application-planning prompt, not a call-specific headcount or hiring entitlement.
- Inny warunek
- The Simple Grant guide says the consortium will mostly use personnel costs to implement action tasks; subcontracting, financial support and purchase are possible but should be limited. It gives no individual salary, role, headcount or employment-term entitlement.
- Inny warunek
- The proposal must show that the chip has been taped out at a commercial foundry, with engineering samples available or expected within three months after the submission deadline; and that its host PCB is in production or expected before the end of the six-month development phase.
- Inny warunek
- Topic A2 rack-development is a subsequent phase; the 2026 call materials say it will not be launched in 2026. The Topic A1 label is an eligibility condition for participating in that later phase.
- Wymóg partnerstwa
- Each proposal must include at least one EU-established AI chip design company as a beneficiary responsible for the AI chip design and associated intellectual property that is the subject of the proposal. System integrators or original equipment manufacturers may participate as beneficiaries where needed for demonstrator integration, software bring-up and benchmark readiness.
- Oczekiwany czas trwania projektu
- 8 months
Expected action duration: six-month development plus up to two-month benchmark assessment support; not a staff-employment term.
