We are excited to announce that the kick-off meeting of the HAETAE project took place online on November 4th , 2024 !
HAETAE – “Heterogeneously Integrated Multi‐material Photonic Chiplets for Neuromorphic Photonic Transfer Learning AI Engines” – is a new 3-year long HORIZON-JU-Chips / Nation Research Fund (Republic of Korea) project, launched on October 1st, 2024, aiming to release a whole new class of energy efficient Transfer Learning -enhanced photonic accelerators with up to 50 Gbaud operating frequencies and 15x better energy efficiency, comparing to current state-of-the art.
During the meeting, the objectives of HAETAE were thoroughly discussed and participants reviewed the key milestones, set clear targets for each phase, and outlined collaborative efforts to accelerate innovation in HAETAE photonic accelerator architectures. The meeting fostered a strong foundation for the consortium to drive progress towards achieving HAETAE groundbreaking goals in photonic computing.
The projects consortium is strategically assembled to include partners across the entire technology development chain , bringing together industrial and academic partners across the European Union and the Republic of Korea :
- Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, AUTH, Greece
- Interuniversitair Micro-Elektronica Centrum, IMEC, Belgium
- Akhetonics, AKHE Germany
- Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science & Technology, DGIST Republic of Korea
- Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, KAIST Republic of Korea
