In the next 4 years, universities, large, small and medium industrial companies and NGOs from 10 countries across Europe (Germany, France, Austria, Danmark, Norvey, Sweden, Check Republic, Bulgaria, Belgium and Kenia) will join efforts and expertise to increase the attractiveness of semiconductor-related study programmes and careers aiming to support a successful future of the semiconductor industry in Europe.
The Centre for Research and Analysis (CRA), the Technical University, Sofia and the technological company Endurosat are the Bulgarian participant in the Consortium of 14 full and 7 associated partners. CRA will offer its yearslong expertise in scientific communication focused on nonacademic environment: public, youth (schoolchildren& students), and media, with special attention to girls and women.
