14.11.2018 in Bologna, Italy

On 14^th of November 2018, experts from PRYSTINE partner Maserati started co-teaching activities at MUNER: Motorvehicle University of Emilia-Romagna, located in Italian Motor Valley. The teaching course is part of the Advanced Automotive Electronic Engineering teaching program. This program aims to educate electronic engineers with a solid knowledge of the methods and tools that make electronics the foundation of all the systems that collect, process, transmit and store information, with a particular emphasis on the electronic subsystems that are embedded in vehicles and future vehicles.

The first seminar, presented by Maserati representatives, was focused on ADAS systems. Experts from Maserati presented the PRYSTINE collaboration during the first lecture, inviting students to familiarize themselves with the state-of-the-art research of European partnerships.

During the final review of 3Ccar the third ECA2030 event will be held, bringing together a large number of stakeholders and initiating discussions in an exhibition space of project’s technical demonstrators. The event will take place in Graz on 09.10.2018 at 16:30 – 18:30 in the Hans-List Center.

We will share results about translated complexity of today’s cars into semiconductors and discuss the major results seen in demonstrations, as well as discuss about changing the mind-set in terms of the safety requirements of highly automated in order to discuss the next evolution cycles, technology gaps and limits of today´s technologies to pave the way for the electric, connected, automated car for the 2030 customer (ECA-cars).

Background for the Mobility.E light house and the networking events ECA2030

• In 2030, the electric, connected and automated car will become mainstream. On a global scale, today´s yearly manufacturing volume of more than 80 Mio conventional cars will contain a share of estimated 40 Mio ECA-cars in 2030, which have to be produced in a sustainable way.
• As a consequence of this disruptive change, we need to define not only the needed technology basis, but also to identify possible gaps to gain and keep the sovereignty and the IP to build our cars in and for Europe. 
• ECA2030 is especially driven along the ECS value chain by research topics based on semiconductors, embedded control, seamless communication, advanced algorithms and system integration including the needed materials. Key migration parameter, the DNA of the technologies, must be defined for the next evolution cycles.

20/22.11.2018 in Lisbon, Portugal

PRYSTINE, together with other Lighthouse Mobility.E related projects AutoDrive and 3Ccar, was presented during the European Forum for Electronic Components and Systems (EFECS2018) in Lisbon, Portugal. Project partners have organized an impressive joint conference booth with project posters and technological demonstrators: in-wheel motor and inverter, and highly integrated 4x4 MIMO 79GHz radar module.

EFECS is the international forum with a focus on ‘Our Digital Future’ along the Electronic Components and Systems value chain in Europe. The organizers of this event, AENEAS, ARTEMIS-IA, EPoSS, ECSEL Joint Undertaking and the European Commission, in association with EUREKA, had joined forces to bring all stakeholders together for this event. EFECS provided numerous opportunities to learn more about the latest developments, cooperation, and funding possibilities in the ECS Community.

29/30.05.2018 Infineon, Munich

The PRYSTINE project started with a kick-off meeting which took place on May 29^th  - 30^th 2018, at the Infineon Kubus in Munich. The kick-off was inaugurated by the project coordinator Prof. Dr. Eng. George Dimitrakopoulos (IFAG) and Mr Herbert Roedig (IFAG). Work Package Leaders presented the planning of their work packages for the first year of the project. Supply Chain Leaders gave thought-provoking overviews of the key issues related to technology areas. The main objectives for the meeting were to set the official start of the project, to establish connections between all partners, to provide clarifications about administrative aspects, and to define the specific work that each participant is going to fulfil during the project lifetime.
