The SC4EU consortium met in Brussels on 10 February for the project’s second review meeting, bringing together partners and reviewers to assess the current state of the work.
Building a Privacy-Preserving Framework for Semiconductor Supply Chains
Within the SC4EU project, Work Package 6 (WP6) focuses on the development of a flexible and privacy-preserving Multi-Party Computation (MPC) Survey Framework that enables the True Demand survey platform to operate in a fully anonymous and secure way.
The
Effective dissemination and international cooperation are essential to ensure that project results reach the right stakeholders and create long-term impact. Within the SC4EU project, Work Package 8 (WP8) focuses on communication, stakeholder engagement, dissemination, and exploitation activities that support the visibility and
Following the successful completion of the Exploitation Workshop, SC4EU partners convened to advance discussions on the strategic uptake and long-term sustainability of project results. The session provided a structured forum for the consortium to examine potential exploitation pathways, both at the individual partner level and through joint collaborative mechanisms.
Introduction
Modern supply chains rely on the seamless exchange of information across organisations, systems, and countries. However, one of the major barriers to efficient collaboration remains semantic friction — situations where partners use the same terms for different concepts, or different terms for the same process,
Building Smarter Demand Forecasting for Semiconductor Supply Chains
Within the SC4EU project, Work Package 5 (WP5) focuses on developing a platform for accurate and secure demand forecasting across semiconductor supply chains. The work addresses one of the key structural challenges within the industry — semiconductor shortages and the lack
SC4EU at EFECS 2025 — Strengthening Europe’s Semiconductor Supply Chain With Data, Forecasting and Skills
SC4EU was present at EFECS Malta 2025 as one of the key reference projects in the strategic discussion around semiconductor resilience and industry coordination. With supply-chain stability now tightly connected to European technology sovereignty, the
AIMS5.0 × SC4EU × Arrowhead fVPN
Strengthening Europe’s Semiconductor Future Through Joint Innovation
At the Deep Tech Lisbon Event 2025, three leading European projects — AIMS5.0, SC4EU and Arrowhead fVPN — met in a coordinated workshop to explore cross-project collaboration, talent
The semiconductor industry operates within an environment of huge complexity. From comprehensive supply chains to rapidly evolving product cycles and an array of interconnected partners, achieving seamless collaboration is a real challenge. Misunderstandings or ambiguities in terminology can lead to costly delays, technical errors, or even supply chain disruptions. A critical enabler of this
1. A Dynamic Conference Environment
The two-day event at Hotel Barceló brought together leading minds in semiconductor technology, digital transformation, and supply chain innovation. The INSIDE Industry Association created a vibrant platform for collaboration and knowledge exchange across multiple technology domains.
What a productive session we had last week! Our SC4EU consortium members gathered virtually for dissemination workshop!
Key Highlights:
The semiconductor supply chain is a complex network that involves multiple stages and participants, from raw material suppliers to end consumers. Raw Material Suppliers provide essential materials such as silicon wafers, chemicals, and gases required for semiconductor manufacturing and geopolitical context has proven many potential
The bullwhip effect describes a common supply chain phenomenon where small fluctuations in customer demand lead to increasingly larger order variations as they propagate upstream. First introduced by Jay Forrester in the 1950s, the concept gained prominence in supply chain management during the 1980s and 1990s.
This effect arises when a retailer observes a slight increase

About the Review Meeting
The review meeting held on February 11th in Brussels focused on evaluating progress, discussing key challenges, and outlining next steps. Participants reviewed project milestones, exchanged insights, and proposed strategic adjustments to enhance efficiency and collaboration. The meeting concluded with actionable recommendations and a

One of the undisputed learnings of the recent chip market turmoil is, that to soften the blow for the inevitable next crisis, participants in the semiconductor value chain have to bring intercompany collaboration to a new level. However, the trust barrier amongst semiconductor manufacturers and suppliers is high, and security concerns are

The industry is a very complex and also extremely sensitive system. Seemingly small changes may lead to a huge impact elsewhere, as it is already well-understood for the bullwhip effect, for example. Having access to certain information is key in decision-making and often companies would benefit from exchanging data about their business with each other.
17. Januar 2025
The semiconductor production industry is a highly intricate field. It involves complex supply chains characterized by short product cycles, strong interdependencies with other industries, and numerous partners. Clear communication plays a crucial role in achieving success within this environment.
Similar to other domains, the semiconductor industry possesses its own body of
