 WORKING TOGETHER FOR EUROPEAN KNOWLEDGE LEADERSHIP
IN THE FIELD OF NANOELECTRONICS

ENIAC was established in 2004 as the Technology Platform for Nanoelectronics. Its main goal was to define common research and innovation priorities to ensure a truly competitive nanoelectronics industry in Europe. To attain such an objective, ENIAC invested intensive efforts to bring together the key players in nanoelectronics research by gathering within the Platform the main European industrial groups and research organisations, setting up the ENIAC Scientific Community Council to ensure representation of Universities, and encouraging the participation inENIAC of Small and Medium enterprises through national platforms.
ENIAC Stakeholders actively contributed to the definition of the ENIAC Strategic Research Agenda, first published in 2005, with an update released in 2006 and a full revision in 2007. Its purpose is to align the efforts of the European R&D performers in nanoelectronics research along a common roadmap in order to optimise the effectiveness of investments, and increase potential funding.

Once the strategic directions defined, the ENIAC Technology Platform drove the process leading to the establishment of AENEAS (Association for European NanoElectronics Actitivities) in November 2006. AENEAS is carrying on the activities of the Technology Platform and represents R&D actors in the ENIAC Joint Undertaking (JU).

As stated in the Council Regulation Nr. 72/2008 setting up the ENIAC Joint Undertaking:
The ENIAC Joint Undertaking (JU) is a Community body established for the implementation of the Joint Technology Initiative (JTI) on nanoelectronics, chartered to contribute to the implementation of the Seventh Framework Programme and the theme Information and Communication Technologies of the Specific Programme Cooperation. It has been set up for a period up to 31 December 2017. ENIAC JU defines and implements a Research Agenda, notable by awarding funding to participants in selected projects following competitive calls for proposals, by promoting a public-private partnership, and by achieving synergy and coordination of European R&D efforts in the field on nanoelectronics. The total funding for this R&D programme is estimated at about 3.3 Billion Euro.
