From October 8 to 10, 2024, Masaryk College in Prague will become a center of innovation in the field of semiconductor microelectronics. Come learn more about the news in the industry and make new contacts! The invitation is open to students, PhD students, postdocs and academics interested in a career in microelectronics. The seminar program will be held in English and participation is free. More information and registration HERE. Attention, the application form must be filled in by September 30 and the capacity is limited, so don't hesitate.
The aim of the event is to spread the benefits and results created through the IPCEI ME/CT project - at FNSPE CTU there is an active group led by scientists Peter Švihra and Radek Novotný in the top laboratory CAPADS (Center of Applied Physics and Advanced Detection Systems), which participated, for example, in development and design of the pixel detector for the ATLAS experiment at CERN.
"This is strictly a workshop, at which no active contribution is required, it is a form of presentation of what is happening in Europe in the field of microelectronics and what is planned in the near future," explains Milan Semmler, one of the organizers from UJP Prague.
Visitors can look forward to a rich program of lectures, meetings, workshops and panel discussions.
The seminar is primarily focused on the presentation of the activities of foreign and Czech partners in the above-mentioned IPCEI program and the search for potential cooperation opportunities with Czech entities and workers. The main participants of the seminar will be leading companies in the field of semiconductors from France, Italy and Malta (e.g. STMicroelectronics, Lynred, Soitec, Renault, Valeo, Vitesco, XFAB, MEMC Electronic Materials, etc.), there is also space for the presentation of companies from Central Europe.
The invitation applies to the wider professional public, mainly students, PhD students, but also academics and researchers who would be interested in participating in a European meeting of companies that are active in large European projects IPCEI (Important Project of Common European Interest).
The event also includes a social evening, which will take place on October 9, 2024 in the representative premises of the Vikárka restaurant at the Prague Castle. Participation in the entire program, including the gala dinner, is free for all registrants. The capacity of the seminar is limited to 300 participants, of which around 100 participants are reserved for graduates and university students.
The seminar is jointly organized by the Czech National Semiconductor Cluster (CNSC), the French technology company Minalogic, the Czech Technical University in Prague and UJP PRAHA a.s. The patronage of the event was taken over by the Minister of Industry and Trade, Jozef Síkela.
About IPCEI ME/CT
"Important Project of Common European Interest in Microelectronics and Communication Technologies" refers to research and development projects covering microelectronics and communication technologies across the entire value chain from materials and tools to final components via chip designs and manufacturing processes.
As part of the Czech IPCEI project "New radiation-resistant microelectronic technologies", financed by the European Union and the National Recovery Plan, the CAPADS team at FJFI is dedicated to the development of advanced detection systems - especially for color imaging in medicine and new dosimetric equipment.
IPCEI ME/CT projects also aim to enable digital and green transformation:
(i) creation of innovative microelectronic and communication solutions and
ii) development of energy-efficient electronic systems and production methods that save resources.
They will contribute to technological progress in many sectors, including communications (5G and 6G), automotive and mobility, artificial intelligence and quantum computing. They will also support companies operating in the field of energy production, distribution and use in their green transition.
They focus on the development of technologies that will enable fundamental improvements, especially in the areas of sensors, high-performance processors, microprocessors and communication means for secure data exchange.
