On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the “Topics on Microelectronics” Courses and in consideration of the collaboration with the National Ph.D. Program in Micro- and Nano-Electronics, the Chips-IT Foundation, and IEEE-SSCS Italy, this year the first course will be held in Torre dell'Orso, Puglia, in a setting designed to bring together instructors and participants in an environment of outstanding natural beauty. The second course will be held at the more familiar venue of the University of Milan-Bicocca.
For both courses, the format remains consistent, comprising 15 lessons of 3 hours each, delivered by recognized experts in the field of Microelectronics from both academia and research, as well as from industry. Additionally, the courses are characterized by a strong multidisciplinary approach, due to the dense nature of the covered topics. This choice is motivated by the goal of providing an increasingly broad-based preparation for Ph.D. students.
Finally, it is an honor to complement the first ToM course of the twentieth year with a lecture by Professor Pieter Harpe, who serves as a Distinguished Lecturer for IEEE-SSCS, as part of the activities of the SSCS Italian Chapter.
