ARTEMIS Joint Technology Initiative

ARTEMIS Joint Undertaking: Advanced Research and Technology for Embedded Intelligence and Systems

The Artemis Joint Undertaking [JU] Programme is a European Commission Joint Technology Initiative managed centrally by the European Commission and supported by individual participating States. Artemis JU is coordinated in the UK by the Technology Strategy Board.

Artemis aims to tackle the research and structural challenges faced by the industrial sector. The objective is to define and implement a Research Agenda for Embedded Computing Systems. The Artemis JU will manage and co-ordinate research activities through open calls for proposals through a 10-year €2.5 billion research programme on Embedded Computing Systems. The programme is open to organisations in European Union Member States and Associated Countries. Selected projects will be co-financed by the Joint Undertaking and the Member States that have joined Artemis.

Artemis aims to help European "embedded" computer chip industry consolidate and reinforce its world leadership in embedded computing technologies. The economic impact in terms of jobs and growth is expected to exceed €100 billion over ten years.

There will be a call for proposals in 2009, dates and thematic areas are to be confirmed, for further information and to be informed when this information will be available please e-mail graham.mobbs@tsb.gov.uk
