Chips EU-calls within semiconductor technologies in 2026
Last updated:
This scheme provides Norwegian national co-financing for organizations participating in Chips Joint Undertaking calls on semiconductor technologies under Horizon Europe and the Digital Europe Programme. It is not a standalone grant but a top-up mechanism: Norwegian entities must join a consortium of at least three organizations from three EU member states applying to a Chips JU call, and this funding covers the Norwegian share of the project. Applicants should already be building or joining an EU-wide semiconductor consortium before applying.
