The University of Aveiro carries out cutting-edge research in strategic areas of knowledge, with a strong focus on applied research. In this Agenda, the UA is represented by the Department of Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics (DETI) and the Department of Environment and Planning (DAO). The UA contributes to the development of chips for new communication technologies, to the diagnosis and design of industrial optimization processes that reduce the ecological footprint of the semiconductor industry and to the creation and definition of industrial processes related to the circular economy and recycling of products in the Microelectronics sector.

Created as part of the mobilizing agendas of the Portuguese Recovery and Resilience Plan, the Microelectronics Agenda aims to strengthen the production and innovation capacity of the national semiconductor and microelectronics industry. It involves a group of 17 partners and seeks to help position Portugal at the forefront of the semiconductor management, production, distribution and recycling market, capable of supplying Europe and other countries worldwide.
The 25 new products, processes and services resulting from the Agenda aim to transform the microelectronics sector and contribute to its resilience, competitiveness and ecological sustainability, and will enable the Portuguese ecosystem to monitor and anticipate the sector’s needs.
The Microelectronics Agenda has a total eligible budget of €67,493,749.21, of which €30,048,411.91 is funded by the NextGenerationEU initiative. With the completion of the project scheduled for June 30, 2025, Portugal intends to establish itself as a leader in the global semiconductor sector, having already executed more than 60% of the budget and made significant progress in product development, sustainability and workforce training.
