GreenChips-EDU is an EU-funded education project (October 2023 - September 2027). 

The project partners work on

  • creating innovative education material to integrate sustainability aspects into microelectronics education
  • digitalising course material to make (online) access possible
  • organising student mobility opportunities through industry-academia collaboration
  • streamlining masters programmes & designing special courses

In a nutshell, we develop new courses and formats to attract more talents to the semiconductor industry.


Eco-design for Power Electronics – Part 1


 This course provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental principles and applications of power conversion, covering various converter topologies such as DC-DC, AC-DC, and DC-AC converters. Participants will explore the characteristics and selection criteria for key electronic components, including semiconductors, inductors, capacitors, and transformers. Additionally, the course emphasizes advanced design techniques, such as thermal management, control strategies, and efficiency optimization. Practical aspects of fabrication and assembly of power electronic systems are covered, with a focus on ensuring electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and compliance with industry standards.

Rational eco-design of electronics

This course will help you understand the fundamentals of environmental impact assessment of electronics, and the basic instincts that you must develop to design more sustainable devices.
