Who can apply?
PhD students, post-doctoral students, academics, researchers, SMEs are encouraged to apply.
If you are working on a research project, need to produce or try a prototype, access a specific tool, perform a specific task: then you should apply to INFRACHIP.
How does it work?
Through a strong partnership with 11 “access providers’’, key actors of the semiconductor research field and thanks to EU funds, INFRACHIP can welcome you at no costs in-person or virtually (sending samples, obtaining datas..) at one of the facilities.
Depending on the task and on your own competences, the work will be carried out either by yourself or local experts. Your stay can be extended to several weeks if needed.
Transnational Access Rule (Please read)
The Transnational Access rule is quite specific to European projects. It implies that applicants are not allowed to get access through INFRACHIP to a facility located in the same country they are based in.
For example: if you are a PhD student in Ireland, you are not eligible for an INFRACHIP access to Tyndall.
! INL (Portugal) does not follow the TA rule, as it is considered an international institution and belongs also to Spain. Portugal and Spain-based applicants can obtain INFRACHIP access to INL.
