Responsible Electronics portfolio

The EIC Pathfinder Challenges programme supports thematic project portfolios, including the Responsible Electronics (ReTronics) portfolio of nine projects.

The goal is to enable the development of more sustainable electronic materials, reducing environmental impact and dependence on critical raw materials. Each project contributes to a more sustainable electronics sector with its own approach.

All projects foster synergies and collaboration within the portfolio to maximize scientific outcomes, exploitation potential, outreach opportunities with key stakeholders, and the identification and overcoming of major barriers.

 

   
  • ELEGANCE (Green SELf-Powered NEuromorphic Processing EnGines
    with Integrated VisuAl and FuNCtional Sensing)
    Printed electronics for a sustainable future.

 

ELEGANCE develops a new, printable, and light-operated processing
technology specialised for IoT edge computing applications.
The project employs abundant and recyclable eco-friendly materials.
The processor enables simultaneous IoT energy-efficient computing
and visual sensing. The project will implement in-memory computing
schemes, such as crossbar memristor arrays, by employing low-cost,
industrially compatible sustainable printing techniques.

 

   
  • DESIRE4EU (DESIgning REcycling sustainable Electronic boards for
    an EU circular economy)

DESIRE4EU is set to revolutionize the electronics ecosystem by
designing fully circular reliable bio-based electronic boards without
affecting their performance. This ambitious shift promises to reduce
the waste and pollution associated with electronics strongly.

Thanks to a holistic approach, we’ll develop novel and credible
solutions for a responsible electronics value chain.

Relying on the interdisciplinary skills of our consortium partners,
we aim to develop an alternative, innovative, and low-cost
technology of bio-based substrates, increasing CM (Critical Materials)
recycling using low-energy and low-pollution innovative bioleaching
processes (TRL 1-4).
