Climate change, energy transition, safety, and security are critical issues facing society today. Archimedes addresses these challenges by developing trusted technologies that accelerate the energy transition, enhance safety, and contribute to building a resilient Society 5.0. Supported by 48 partners, the project aims on delivering advanced solutions in the automotive, aviation, and industrial sectors, paving the way for a de-carbonized, digitalized, and green Europe.
The project aims to extend the lifetime and reliability of key components in propulsion, power, and energy storage systems through innovative technologies such as GaN, SiC, and MEMS devices monitored by ultra-stable quantum references. These advancements are projected to achieve up to 120,000 hours of lifetime extension, fostering trust in energy-efficient solutions and reducing dependency on traditional energy sources.
ARCHIMEDES also delivers eco-design-based innovations to deploy digital assets and services in the Electronic Components and Systems (ECS) domain. By enabling standardization and qualification procedures, the project facilitates scaling and strengthens Europe’s competitiveness. The outcomes include improved energy efficiency, extended system lifetimes, and enhanced sustainability in automotive, aviation, and infrastructure industries.
Key objectives of ARCHIMEDES include:
- Delivering trusted extended lifetimes and Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) for GaN, SiC, and MEMS devices.
- Deploying eco-design innovations for sustainable ECS technologies and digital services.
- Facilitating standardization and qualification for scaling and economic growth.
- Accelerating energy transition and strengthening the pan-European ecosystem across automotive, aviation, and infrastructure domains.
- Supporting Europe’s competitiveness through tools and technologies that foster a resilient, circular economy.
