Infrastructure access

Access to Romanian Infrastructure. Find the right infrastructure for your project.
RO-SMARTSYS brings together infrastructure and expertise available through IMT Bucharest, Politehnica University Bucharest and associated partners. The national offer combines micro- and nanofabrication, advanced characterisation, design and simulation, robotics, electronics, system integration and testing. You do not need to know in advance which laboratory, technology or piece of equipment you need. Tell us about your technical challenge and the RO-SMARTSYS team can help identify the most appropriate capability and access pathway.

Associated partner capabilities

The Centre can also facilitate access to complementary capabilities available through associated partners, including IoT and 5G testing, edge computing, cybersecurity validation and application-specific testing.
Access to European Infrastructure

Go beyond national capabilities

When the required technology or expertise is not available in Romania, RO-SMARTSYS can help you access relevant European resources.

The Centre facilitates access to:

CHIPS JU Pilot Lines:

  • NanoIC: The NanoIC pilot line, hosted by imec, is set to provide Europe with a leading-edge beyond 2nm System-on-Chip (SoC) pilot line for advanced logic, memory, and interconnect technologies.
https://www.nanoic-project.eu/en
  • FAMES: The FAMES Pilot Line focuses on advanced materials and manufacturing processes, promoting innovation and collaboration in the industry.
https://fames-pilot-line.eu/
  • APECS: APECS boosts European semiconductor leadership with a pilot line for advanced packaging and heterogeneous integration, offering SMEs, start-ups, and industry access to cutting-edge chiplet-based technologies and infrastructure.

How Access Works

A guided pathway from your idea to infrastructure access

RO-SMARTSYS is designed to make access to advanced infrastructure straightforward, even if you have never worked with these facilities before.

Tell us what you need

  • Submit a short description of your organisation, project, technical objectives, infrastructure needs and expected timeline.

Initial assessment

  • The RO-SMARTSYS team checks eligibility, understands your requirements and identifies potentially relevant capabilities.

Technical matching

  • We match your request with the most appropriate national infrastructure, technical expertise or European access opportunity.

Define the service

  • Together, we clarify the technical scope, timeline, access conditions, costs, IP arrangements and other relevant requirements.

Access & technical support

  • Once access is confirmed, the project is scheduled and delivered with technical support before, during and after the infrastructure activity.

More than access to equipment

Access to infrastructure is accompanied by technical support designed to help users obtain meaningful results.

Before access

  • Technical briefing
  • Process and design rule guidance
  • Safety and facility orientation
  • IPR and data management guidance

During access

  • Dedicated technical support
  • Process troubleshooting
  • Results review and optimisation
  • Documentation of relevant process parameters

After access

  • Results and validation documentation
  • User feedback
  • Follow-up consultation
  • Technical documentation supporting the next development stage
