A leading European consortium has officially launched ICOS² – International Cooperation on Semiconductor Innovation and Supply Resilience, a Horizon Europe Coordination and Support Action aimed at reinforcing Europe’s position in
ICOS² First Press Release – Launch of the project to strengthen Europe’s semiconductor Resilience and Global Partnership We are pleased to announce the publication of our very first Press Release,
The Joint Statement issued following the 11th Summit between the EU and the ROK on June 10th 2026 highlights an increasingly important trend in global semiconductor policy where no region
Let’s build together the new era of the semiconductors innovation with ICOS².
From AI and mobility to healthcare and space, semiconductors are key for technological development. ICOS² aims to reinforce Europe’s position in the global semiconductor ecosystem, by strengthening international collaboration.
ICOS² will map the global semiconductor supply chains and industrial ecosystem and their expected evolution including their strengths, gaps, and vulnerabilities in non EU-countries.
An analysis of political, industrial, and research cooperation frameworks will be conducted to evaluate cooperation modalities, and model “what-if” scenarios, thereby anticipating risks.
The engagement to specific stakeholders will be ensured by an effective communication campaign of results. This communication plan is here to maximise uptake and ensure long-term impact.
ICOS² will assess the positioning of the EU relative to global competitors in emerging semiconductor technologies, identifying opportunities for leadership.
A set of concrete recommendations for EU–non-EU cooperation will be published to support joint calls, and promote researcher mobility in priority fields that will be identified during the project activities.
