Spiking Photonic-Electronic IC for quick and efficient processing (SPIKEPro)

About the project

Funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe program, aims to develop ultra-low energy photonic-electronic spiking neuromorphic hardware.

The project brings together a consortium of leading research institutions and industry partners from across Europe, including University College London (UCL), Eindhoven University of Technology (TU Eindhoven), University of Strathclyde (USTRATH), Technische Universität Ilmenau (TU Ilmenau), and Hewlett-Packard Labs (HPE).

Funding Source

SPIKEPro has received funding from the Horizon Europe programme under grant agreement number 101129904.
