[26.11.2020] MNEMOSENE project announced the winner of the European Commission’s ECS Innovation Award for EFECS 2020!
The MNEMOSENE consortium partners are proud to announce that the MNEMOSENE project has been chosen the winner of the European Commission’s prestigious ECS Innovation Award for EFECS 2020.
The ECS Innovation Award is a prize given annually by the Competitive Electronics Industry’s unit of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology. The prize is awarded to the most innovative idea developed under a Horizon 2020 project in the field of Electronic Components and Systems (ECS). Notably, the competition aims to promote the richness of the technology developed in the ECS area and the significant importance that it has for the EU economy and citizens.
This year, once again, the European Commission received numerous high-quality submissions to the competition.
The ECS Innovation Award was presented today to Professor Said Hamdioui, MNEMOSENE’s Project Coordinator, at a dedicated session of the European Forum for Electronic Components and Systems (EFECS 2020). In his award acceptance speech, Prof. Hamdioui highlighted how MNEMOSENE’s innovative developments in computation-in-memory (CIM) architecture based on memresistor devices will lead to 10X to 100X factor improvements in energy efficiency and performance efficiency of computers. In turn, this will enable cost effective computation of currently unfeasible artificial intelligence applications, support breakthrough development in neuromorphic computing, and position Europe in a leading role in unconventional computer architectures and memristive technology.
