NCP INFODAY, Brussels, 23 June 2010 NCP INFODAY, Brussels, 23 June 2010 Objective ICT EU-Brazil Research and Development cooperation Augusto de Albuquerque Head of Unit Microsystems Information Society Technologies and Media, European Commission, Brussels The views expressed in this presentation are the personal views of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official view of the European Commission on the subject matter.

NCP INFODAY, Brussels, 23 June 2010 a) Microelectronics/Microsystems Target Outcomes Methodology, design blocks and specific design tools that complement and go beyond the capabilities of commercially available software in the areas of: design of integrated multi- technology systems, ultra low power design, RF design, design of energy efficient systems, methodology and tools for system in package and 3D integration; Heterogeneous Microsystems integration and packaging technologies. Sensor technology, integrated solutions encompassing all aspects for technological uptake, from sensor networks and RFIDs to standardisation including energy scavenging.

NCP INFODAY, Brussels, 23 June 2010 Target Outcomes -Focus The focus of this effort should be on the technology development and the build-up of technology infrastructure rather than exclusively on applications. Specifically encouraged applications areas to be used as proof of concept and demonstration vehicles are: monitoring, tracking and traceability in areas that include environment, food quality, agriculture, logistics and public transport. Supporting technologies for solar energy exploration such as converters and energy storage; Electric power trains in vehicles; telemedicine solutions and tools for the early diagnostics of endemic and epidemic diseases.

NCP INFODAY, Brussels, 23 June 2010 Expected Impact (for Topics 1 / 2) Closer cooperation between materials, equipment and component suppliers; solution providers; system integrators; manufacturing and processing plants; and R & D institutes on both sides of the Atlantic. Strong involvement of industry participants interacting closely with research organisations and users.

NCP INFODAY, Brussels, 23 June 2010 Expected Impact (for Topics 1 / 2) Increased knowledge and skills at the frontier of smart component and smart systems integration / complex systems engineering, with a view to increased efficiency and effectiveness of smart components and smart systems engineering / processes, plants and systems contributing to the competitiveness of the industry involved, increased attractiveness to investments and putting research organisations in leading positions

NCP INFODAY, Brussels, 23 June 2010 Expected Impact (for Topics 1 / 2) Contributing to environment protection and energy efficiency through smart solutions for energy management and distribution, smart control of electrical drives, smart logistics or energy-efficient buildings/facility management, utility management and networked embedded intelligence.
