MEREBE (Microelectronic Research, Education and Business Ecosystem)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Description<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The project combines the expertise and needs of researchers, companies and end users focused on the design, manufacturing and packaging technology of electronic devices, especially microelectronics, as well as control software. Based on them, measures are implemented to strengthen the industry’s know-how, continuity and development. The project has been prepared in cooperation with industry in the region and it responds to precisely identified needs for working life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main goal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The main goal is to form a locally and internationally known and acknowledge center for microelectronics and related software industry know-how, training and R&D activities, where companies in the field, together with educational and research institutes, implement measures to strengthen know-how, continuity and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work packages<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The project implements 5 work packages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
