About the project
The APECS pilot line, coordinated by Fraunhofer Group for Microelectronics / Research Fab Microelectronics Germany (FMD), aims to bolster the European Union's capabilities in the semiconductor sector, particularly in the development of next-generation technologies for advanced packaging and the integration of diverse chip and chiplet technologies.
Impact of the project:
The APECS pilot line is expected to have a transformative effect on the European semiconductor landscape by offering a European prototyping and piloting option for advanced packaging and heterogeneous integration, as well as access to European advanced packaging technologies and prototyping, fostering European semiconductor value chain, community and skills.

About the project
The LIFE Lit4Nature aims to establish a stronger, evidence-based system for biodiversity conservation and restoration across Lithuania. Major focus will be placed on strengthening the national biodiversity monitoring system, improving data collection and integration and on introducing innovative monitoring approaches to support evidence-based conservation and restoration decisions.
Impact of the project:
The project aims to boost stronger biodiversity and ecosystem recovery across Lithuania through nationwide conservation and restoration. Further, it wants to achieve better national coordination for efficient and well targeted conservation measures and their funding.
Funding instrument LIFE Programme

Spinverse’s role
Spinverse experts supported the coordinator throughout the two-stage LIFE Strategic Nature Project application process from concept note development to submitting the final proposal.
The support included workshops that brought together the proposal team to sharpen the project concept and focus the application on the most relevant and critical aspects of Lithuania's
Prioritised Action Framework for Natura 2000 and the forthcoming National Restoration Plan.
Spinverse’s strategic guidance, hands-on support and thorough quality reviews helped us focus on the critical aspects, strengthen the proposal logic and present its impacts convincingly. Their LIFE expertise gave our team confidence and contributed significantly to the proposal’s high quality and successful funding outcome.”
