Cutting-Edge IC Design Workshop

U.S. - Japan Collaboration Workshop
(Phase-1)
Tuesday, December 5 2023; 8:00 - 12:00 AM  (JST)
Wednesday, December 6 2023; 8:00 - 12:00 AM (JST) 
Online

The semiconductor industry is facing a number of challenges in building a stable supply chain. The importance of semiconductors was reaffirmed at the global level, and various initiatives were announced to revitalize and support the semiconductor industry, including investment in infrastructure development and human resource development for cutting-edge foundries. Against this backdrop, it is hoped that the creation of next-generation semiconductor technology and the further expansion of the industry will be achieved based on strong cooperation between Japan and the United States. As a phase 1 toward this goal, this workshop will discuss cutting-edge IC design technologies such as open source IC design, ecosystem construction, and human resource development. This workshop was supported by the U.S. Consulate in Fukuoka.

Application deadline is December 12. Please apply individually for DAY-1 and DAY-1the following form (you can also apply for only one of them).
[Participation fee] Free
[Notice] Simultaneous interpretation is available in English and at ZOOM Webinar.
