Those value chains are well-known strengths of European industry thus, it is of utmost importance to also keep the basis, i.e. semiconductor manufacturing in Europe. The research and development of manufacturing science solutions to substantially enhance efficiency was identified as competitiveness enabler for European semiconductor fabs.enIMPROVEEniac projectefficiency in semiconductor manufacturing670620530IMPROVE - a joint European effort to boost efficiency in semiconductor manufacturingpresentation
