The objective of the R&D ACCESS proposal is to identify R&D results on semiconductor design from FP7 projects and to provide these results to partners from outside the consortia. The R&D results are divided into four categories: 1) Training and Education, 2) Intellectual Properties, 3) Design Tools and 4) Design Methodologies.A dissemination platform will facilitate the access to project results generated in huge numbers of IP, NoE, STREP and CSA projects from the FP7 programme. The ACCESS platform will support the exploitation in as well industry (large enterprises and SMEs) as in academia. Initially the platform content will be based on the FP7 generated results, however, when the platform is implemented and routines for best practice have been established also relevant project results originating from e.g. FP6, ENIAC, ARTEMIS and national programmes will be invited to join the ACCESS platform.A successful implementation of the initiative will:-Facilitate knowledge dissemination across Europe by means of a European RTD knowledge Infrastructure with initially more than 20.000 items (training courses, IPs, tools and methodologies)-A one-stop shop with single sign-on for the dissemination of professional semiconductor design knowledge-Organize annual workshops on application specific nanoelectronics platforms supporting the design in advanced processes-Provide an initial user community of more than 40.000 European semiconductor designers
