The European microelectronics (ME) industry has a direct impact on approximately 20% of the European GDP and employs over 250,000 people, with more than 64,000 job vacancies. The main technological challenges are 1) to increase both the reliability of the manufactured electronic components and systems (ECS) and sustainability to meet the requirements of the new EU directive Right to Repair, and 2) to reduce the huge product verification effort (70% of total product development time) that represents a substantial burden on costs and resources. To compete with China and North America, the European ME industry is in critical need of crossdiscipline experts in electronic manufacturing and digital innovations: software, data and artificial intelligence. The main goal of the MIRELAI industrial doctorate programme is to train the next generation of engineers and scientists for the next generation of reliable and repairable ECS developed within a trustworthy European value chain. The scientific approach is based on three pillars: 1) physics of degradation, 2) multi-scale modelling and 3) AI-based reliability which in sum will add up to a reinvention and new level of efficiency for the 'design for repair and reliability' for ECS. Our unique industry-academia partnership of 8 industries, 4 SMEs and 9 research organisations and academic institutions from 7 European countries has all the expertise, experience and capacity along the electronics system value chain to deliver this ambitious research and training programme. Shared hosting and joint supervision by industry and academia of each of the 13 doctoral candidates ensures optimal knowledge transfer. Together, we will pave the way for sustainable, repairable and energy efficient electronic system designs and resource-friendly smart electronics applications. MIRELAI is thus perfectly aligned with the European research agenda and the EU Pact for Skills, a shared engagement model for skills development in Europe.

欧洲微电子（ME）行业对欧洲GDP的约20%产生直接影响，雇用超过25万人，职位空缺超过64，000个。主要的技术挑战是：1）提高制造的电子元件和系统（ECS）的可靠性和可持续性，以满足新的欧盟指令“维修权”的要求; 2）减少巨大的产品验证工作（占总产品开发时间的70%），这对成本和资源构成了巨大的负担。为了与中国和北美竞争，欧洲ME行业迫切需要电子制造和数字创新领域的跨学科专家：软件，数据和人工智能。MIRELAI工业博士课程的主要目标是培养下一代工程师和科学家，以在值得信赖的欧洲价值链中开发下一代可靠和可修复的ECS。科学方法基于三大支柱：1）退化物理学，2）多尺度建模和3）基于AI的可靠性，总而言之，这将为ECS的“修复和可靠性设计”带来重新发明和新的效率水平。我们独特的产学合作伙伴关系，包括来自7个欧洲国家的8个行业、4个中小企业和9个研究机构和学术机构，拥有沿着电子系统价值链的所有专业知识、经验和能力，以提供这一雄心勃勃的研究和培训计划。13名博士候选人中的每一位都由工业界和学术界共同主持和联合监督，确保了最佳的知识转移。我们将共同为可持续、可修复和节能的电子系统设计和资源友好型智能电子应用铺平道路。因此，MIRELAI完全符合欧洲研究议程和欧盟技能公约，这是欧洲技能发展的共同参与模式。
