A Professor at the Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain), Jean-Pierre Raskin is an internationally recognised scientific figure, renowned for his major contributions to silicon-based RF technologies, semiconductor materials engineering and eco-design of electronic circuits. Through this Chair, he brings leading-edge expertise focused on the eco-efficiency of electronic technologies.

This initiative builds on Grenoble’s ecosystem of excellence, recently designated European Capital of Innovation 2025, which brings together key players in research, innovation and industrialisation in the semiconductor field. The synergies between UGA, the Carnot Institute CEA-Leti, the CNRS and IRT Nanoelec—supported by advanced technological platforms and structuring initiatives such as the UGA Labex Microelectronics—enable the emergence of concrete solutions to support the transition of technologies towards more sustainable approaches.

This Chair is fully aligned with the microelectronics strategy of the UGA ecosystem and with France’s national priorities under the France 2030 plan, in which environmental transition is a central challenge for the country’s competitiveness and technological sovereignty.
