Sustainable nanoelectronics

The NEED Project on sustainable nanoelectronics will develop methodologies integrating economic analysis, geopolitics issues, acceptability and durability of new technological solutions, to apply to advanced research.

It will develop a global approach to IoT product design regarding their components, technological processes and innovation mananagement (methodologies) to avoid future supply disruption of key materials, regulation changes, and value changes of raw material.
