CALL FOR SCHOLARSHIPS TO STUDY THE UNIVERSITY MASTER DEGREE IN ADVANCED ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS FOR THE 2025/2026 COURSE

First publication date: 23/04/2025

The SoC4sensing University-Company Chip Chair offers scholarships for students who study the UNIVERSITY MASTER DEGREE IN ADVANCED ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and who include in their enrollment the subjects sponsored by the SoC4sensing Chair during the academic year 2025/2026.

The subjects sponsored by the SoC4sensing Chair are:

Design of Digital Integrated Circuits. The subject is dedicated to the fundamentals of VLSI design, emphasizing the use of design tools and the practical aspects of digital IC development.
Design of SoCs with RISC-V architecture. This course is oriented to the integration of RISC-V architecture processors together with self-designed coprocessor cores for developing SoCs with diverse applications in critical systems.

The scholarship will cover the totality of the credits of the master's degree enrolled in the academic year 2025/2026 (60 ECTS).
The maximum number of scholarships will be awarded according to the financial endowment available by the ranking mechanism established in this call. Three of these scholarships are of priority for female students, provided that applications are submitted.
The official call for these grants and the detailed application procedure will be published by the Vice-rectorate for Transfer and Internationalization of the UPV/EHU during the grant period.

Ikerlan

The Ikerlan Research Center is a cooperative member of the MONDRAGON Corporation and the Basque Research and Technology Alliance (BRTA). Founded in 1974, it focused on transferring knowledge and contributing competitive value to companies. IKERLAN, as a Basque technological center actively participating in research on critical embedded systems, must play a fundamental role in the region's microelectronics strategy, both in general and in this project.

GAIA (Basque Microelecronis Hub)

The GAIA association is a benchmark in the microelectronics offered in the Basque Country, with nearly 40 years of experience in projects and operations linked to its promotion and coordination.

The microelectronics field is a transversal and multidisciplinary knowledge space that integrates diverse and dispersed organizations in the region's economic geography. A significant number of organizations and centers with a microelectronics specialty operate from the activity carried out by other ODCs specialized in energy, machine tools, or health, among others. Partially derived from the above, the activity of GAIA and the rest of the ODCs is complemented by the Basque Microelectronics Hub (BMH) as an ecosystem that arises from GAIA to respond to microelectronic needs and opportunities from a common, transversal, open, international center.

System-on-Chip engineering S.L. (SoCe S.L.)

SoCe is a Bilbao company established in 2010, driven by the APERT research group. It specializes in developing and selling solutions for critical and high-performance communications. It develops its own technology for Deterministic and high-availability Ethernet communications for industrial, energy, aerospace and defense applications. It has a deep knowledge of SoPC-FPGA technology. SoCe has a dual approach to the market: on the one hand, it acts as a technology provider, licensing IP solutions for SoPC-FPGA systems, and on the other, it sells end-use communications equipment in sectors such as industry, defense, and aerospace, among others, through its Relyum brand. This technological differentiation in the market has allowed it to sell in more than 45 countries.

SoCe has a highly specialized staff of more than 25 professionals and is continuously expanding. Its strategic plan is to deploy more economic activity in the microelectronics sector based on the technological differentials it develops.
