Building on the success of its first edition in 2012, the
2nd Training Course on Compact Modeling (TCCM) will be held in
Tarragona (Catalonia, Spain) on June 28-29 2012. It will be organized by will be organized by the
NEPHOS Group, of the
Department of Electronic, Electrical and Automatic Control Engineering at the
Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Tarragona).. The General Chairman is Prof. Benjamin Iñiguez.
The
Training Course on Compact Modeling
will consist of 12 of lectures addressing relevant topics in the
compact modeling of advanced electron devices. These lectures will be
conducted by top experts in the field. Most of the lectures will
target compact modeling issues applicable to many electron devices. In
particular, emphasis will be given on MOSFETs (bulk, SOI, Multi-Gate
and High Voltage MOS structures) and HEMTs.
REGISTRATION IS OPEN. It is quite cheap:
Advanced Registration (before June 16)
Students: 100 euro
Non-Students: 130 euro
COMON Members: FREE
On-Site Registration (after June 16)
Students: 150 euro
Non-Students: 180 euro
COMON Members: FREE
NOTE: The gala dinner is included in the registration price.
Registration includes lunches, coffe breaks and a Gala Dinner on June
28, in a nice restaurant with TV screens to watch the Semifinals match
of the
Soccer European Cup ...
There will be a 50%
discount for all members that participate in the
SQWIRE FP/ EU project, as well
as the participants to the
8th International Conference on Organic Electronics (ICOE 2012).
The
Training Course on Compact Modeling is an event sponsored by the FP7
“COMON” (COmpact MOdelling Network) IAPP Project
(which is coordinated by the Universitat Rovira i Virgili) in
collaboration with the IEEE EDS Compact Modeling Technical Committee.

Conclusions and announcements |

Besides, on June 25-27 the same group at URV will organize
8th International Conference on Organic Electronics (ICOE 2012) also in Tarragona. Participants to this Training Course will have a reduced fee for ICOE 2012.
Last but not least, the 1
0th Graduate Student Meeting on Electronic Engineering will be hels at URV Campus, Tarragona, from June 21 to 22. This event consist of two days of plenary talks given by invited prestigious
researchers about selected topics related to electronic engineering,
short talk given by last year Doctoral students presenting their last
research results and a poster sessions were master and PhD students in
this field presented their work. With this format, the Graduated Student
Meeting has become a very useful forum for Master and PhD students as
well as researchers in the field of Electronic Engineering.
Therefore, if you are interested in the three events, you can stay in Tarragona from June 22 to 29, and spoend the weekend there. The night from June 23 to 24 is the
St. John's eve, which is well celebrated in Tarragona (in particular, on the beach) as well as in the rest of Catalonia.
Tarragona
is located in the south of Catalonia, in the northeast corner of the
Iberian Peninsula. Tarraco (its Roman name) was one of the most
important cities in the Roman Empire.
On 30 November 2000, the UNESCO
committee officially declared the Roman archaeological complex of
Tàrraco a World Heritage Site.
Tarragona can be easily reached
from Barcelona Airport by bus and train. It is about 100 Km South from
Barcelona. Besides, Reus Airport (less than 15 Km from Tarragona)
receives flights from many European cities in the summer.

Speaking about Tarraco's climate, the famous Roman poet
Virgil wrote: "The climate blends and confuses the seasons
singularly, so that all the year seems an eternal spring." Thanks to
its temperate climate, with an average yearly temperature of 23ºC, its
clean beaches with fine and gloden sand, and its singular artistic and
architectural heritage, Tarragona is one of the most important
tourism hubs in Europe.
I strongly encourage all people interested in compact modeling to attend the
2nd Training Course on Compact Modeling!
