Catch up and overtake Moore! Competition of innovative hardware IT projects "More than Moore"

Moore's law states that the number of transistors on a chip doubles every 1.5-2 years. The traditional trend is the miniaturization of components per unit area. An alternative is the “More Than Moore” (“More than Moore”) approach, which is to add additional value with the help of new transistor properties.
Exactly so, “More than Moore” is the competition of innovative hardware IT projects, held by the Skolkovo Foundation together with partner companies, including Intel, to stimulate development in promising areas of computing technology. For all interested, a list of priority areas and conditions of the competition - under the button.

Any research groups based on educational institutions, enterprises, institutes, etc. can become participants of the competition. Its goal is to identify promising innovative projects in the field of information transfer, storage and processing technologies, as well as their financial and mentoring support with the help of development institutions, venture funds and industry leaders.

The list of priority areas for the competition:

• Development of new nanodevices for storing and processing information, new energy-efficient devices and devices.
• Development of promising ways of receiving, storing, processing and transmitting information, including wireless networks.
• New developments in photonics, nanophotonics and metamaterials, allowing you to create fundamentally new including integrated optical systems.
• New technologies and materials for the creation of nanoscale optical and electronic components; storage devices and data exchange, as well as hybrid optical components for traditional computers including silicon photonics.
• 3D integration technologies and the creation of basic integrated optical components for advanced computing platforms.
• Control technologies in communication systems with arbitrary routing based on a dynamic network of heterogeneous repeaters.
• Technologies for wearable electronics, including sensor networks for the body, biochips.
• New microcomponents, MEMS, sensors, actuators, micro-navigation technology and micro-positioning.

Applications of participants are accepted until November 15. You can familiarize yourself with the project requirements and the composition of project documentation, as well as submit an application on the competition website .
