ASCENT+

ASCENT+ serves as a direct entry point to European Nanoelectronics Research Infrastructure of global scale, offering access to key enabling capabilities in state-of-the-art processing, modelling and simulation data sets, metrology and characterisation, and devices and test structures.

It offers an unparalleled opportunity to researchers and PhD candidates along with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs); empowering them to respond to new problems and to advanced knowledge and technology through the generation of novel results and nurturing talent in their own labs.

European and global studies have indicated that the next era is driven by the need to achieve:

• Quantum advantage using solid-state platforms
• Low-power, energy-efficient, high-performance computing based on disruptive devices
• Increased functionality through advanced integration of a diverse range of materials and innovative technologies

ASCENT+ enables and stimulates its user community to bridge the gap between exploration and development of proof-of-concept technologies to accelerate innovation pathfinding.

ASCENT+ opens its facilities to PhD, SME or researchers who desire to access a specific technology to advance on their thesis, work or research, or design a prototype.
