The video presenting Use Case 4: Isolated Power Electronics Building Block is now available online.
Prepared by Daniel Rios Linares, from the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, the video showcases the latest progress and technical developments achieved within this use case, highlighting its role in advancing smart GaN integration.
We invite you to watch the video and explote how this work contributes to the objectives of ALL2GaN.
Malta - The ALL2GaN Project was presented at EFECS - European Forum for Electronic Components and System - in Malta on 02nd and 3rd December 2025 by the coordinator Herbert Pairitsch. The presentation highlighted the project's vision, strategic objective and its role in strengthening Europe's leadership in next-generation semiconductor technologies.
EFECS 2025 provided an excellent opportunity to engage with key stakeholders from across the European microelectronics and semiconductor community, exchange insights and showcase how ALL2GaN contributes to accelerating the development integration and adoption of GaN technologies in a wide range of applications.
We thank the Chips Joint Undertaking for the successful organization of this important event and for fostering collaboration and innovation within the European semiconductor ecosystem!
As part of this year’s M30 General Assembly, the Work Package Leaders - Karen Geens, Christian Koller, Helmut Brech, Ali Rodhsnghias, Jan Albrecht, Ander Avila - of ALL2GaN engaged in an interactive discussion titled “Innovation Exchange: Building the Future of GaN Together.” The session was moderated by the project coordinator, Herbert Pairitsch, and brought together experts from across the consortium to exchange perspectives on the evolving landscape of Gallium Nitride (GaN) technologies.
The discussion provided a valuable opportunity to reflect on current challenges, explore emerging opportunities, and identify pathways for future innovation and collaboration in the field of wide bandgap (WBG) technologies.
This interactive format encouraged open dialogue and cross-disciplinary thinking — key drivers for advancing sustainable and efficient GaN solutions in Europe.
On 3 November 2025, the ALL2GaN consortium officially kicked off the Month 30 General Assembly, hosted by the Fraunhofer Institute for Microstructure of Materials and Systems IMWS in Halle (Saale), Germany.
With 60 participants representing 45 consortium partners, this meeting marked an important milestone as the project enters its third year of implementation. The General Assembly provides an excellent platform to celebrate progress achieved so far, exchange insights among partners, and align on the next steps toward advancing sustainable innovation in wide bandgap (WBG) technologies.
Throughout the event, participants are engaging in inspiring discussions, sharing project updates, and strengthening collaboration across the consortium — reinforcing ALL2GaN’s role as a European backbone project for smart GaN integration.
Together, we continue to work towards the green transition by pushing the boundaries of Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology, fostering innovation, and contributing to a more sustainable future.

During this year’s General Assembly of ALL2GaN, young researchers once again had the opportunity to present their innovative work in the framework of the Poster Contest titled “Innovation Showcase – Bridging Research and Application.”
A total of ten researchers participated, demonstrating the creativity and excellence driving the next generation of GaN-based technologies. The three most successful posters were:
1st Place:Matziyeh Hajiheidari (Eindhoven University of Technology – TUE) Poster Title:High-Precision Dual-Cell Power Amplifier with Ultra-Light Small Signal Bandwidth
2nd Place:Philipp Nussbaumer (Fronius) Poster Title:Bringing Sun into Your Home with GaN Power in the Most Efficient Way
3rd Place:Jerome Visser (Signify) Poster Title:Parameter Estimation of a Buck Converter Using Least-Squares Methods
We extend our sincere congratulations to all participants, and especially to Mrs. Hajiheidari, winner of this year’s contest. As part of her award, she will have the opportunity to present her research within the ALL2GaN public webinar series scheduled for 2026.
We look forward to learning more about her promising work and to continuing to support young researchers who are shaping the future of energy-efficient technologies.
ALL2GaN will participate to EFECS 2025 – the European Forum for Electronic Components and System – organized by the Chips Joint Undertaking in partnership with AENEAS Association, EPoSS Association and INSIDE Industry Association.
This year’s theme is “Accelerate Innovation: Building European Competitiveness” focusing strengthening value chain security, driving sustainability in ECS, exploiting emerging market opportunities and advancing Europe’s technological sovereignty.
Looking forward to interesting networking and visionary keynotes!
On Wednesday, 17 September 2025, we proudly recognize Daniel Rios Linares for his outstanding work in the Use Case Presentation Contest at the M24 ALL2GaN General Assembly in Madrid.
Daniel—PhD Student and Associate Professor at the Centro de Electrónica Industrial (CEI), Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM)—was invited to join the prestigious IPCEI Summer School, hosted by Infineon Technologies Austria AG.
During the Summer School themed “One prompt, one chip – Unlocking the potential of AI”, Daniel delivered an inspiring presentation entitled “Powering AI at the Edge: A High-Density DC/DC Converter Approach”. After a short introduction of ALL2GaN project coordinator, Herbert Pairitsch, Daniel explained the crucial role of power management in AI applications in front of an audience of 40 talented students from 14 countries. Moreover, his participation created valuable opportunities to exchange ideas, share best practices and build new professional relationships, fostering a stronger bridge between ALL2GaN and IPCEI while laying the groundwork for future joint research and innovation.
Congratulations to Daniel for this remarkable achievement, and our sincere thanks to the IPCEI Summer School team for their excellent organization!
The intention of this newsletter is to open a public communication channel to provide news on the project progress. This newsletter is intended for internal and external project partners, stakeholders and all other interested bodies. For more detailed information about the project, we invite you to visit our project website, which is constantly updated with the latest project related news: ALL2GaN.eu.
Message from the coordinators
Dear ALL2GaN Team,
It is hard to believe, but two years have already flown by and we are now entering the final year of the project! The past months have been both intense and rewarding: activities across the Work Packages are advancing strongly, and the Use Cases have gained high visibility with their progress and achievements.
The recently concluded M24 Review Meeting in Brussels, attended by ChipsJU Project Officer Francisco Ignacio Serradilla and reviewers Radoslava Mitova and Mike Leszczynski, was a great success. The work of our 45 Partners since the M12 Review was seen very positive. Nevertheless we got ideas for improvement. Similarly, the M24 General Assembly, kindly hosted by Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), offered an excellent opportunity to reconnect, exchange ideas, and explore future perspectives together.
Communicating our progress to the wider world is essential for showcasing the purpose and impact of our project and the added value of an EU-funded initiative within a European consortium. Our website ALL2GaN.eu and LinkedIn page continue to serve as important channels for sharing updates, achievements, and videos. We encourage you to contribute your news, events, and success stories—and of course, to read, share, and amplify our collective work.
Another key tool is this newsletter. Newsletter #2 highlights the significant advances made by the Use Cases during the second year of implementation, with a focus on their current research status.
Even more exciting activities are on the horizon—don’t miss out!
Enjoy the read!
