DATE is pleased to present a special hybrid format for its 2022 event, as the situation related to COVID-19 is improving but safety measures and restrictions will remain uncertain for the upcoming months across Europe and worldwide. In transition towards a future post-pandemic event again, DATE 2022 will host a two-day live event in presence in the city of Antwerp (just north of Brussels in Belgium), to bring the community together again, followed by other activities carried out entirely online in the subsequent days. This setup combines the in-presence experience with the opportunities of on-line activities, fostering the networking and social interactions around an interesting program of selected talks and panels on emerging topics to complement the traditional DATE high-quality scientific, technical and educational activities.

PhD Forum - Call for Submissions

The PhD forum is hosted by the European Design Automation Association (EDAA), the ACM Special Interest Group on Design Automation (SIGDA), and the IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA). The forum is a great opportunity for PhD students who have completed their PhD thesis within the last 12 months or who are close to complete their thesis to present their work to a broad audience in the system design and design automation community from both industry and academia. The forum may also help students to establish contacts for entering the job market. In addition, representatives from industry and academia get a glance of state-of-the-art in system design and design automation.

Eligibility

The following two classes of students are eligible:

  1. Students who have finished their PhD thesis within the last 12 months and
  2. Students who are close to complete their thesis work.

Benefits

  • A poster presentation at the PhD Forum
  • Eligibility to win the PhD Forum Award
  • Contacts to professionals from industry and academia
  • Possibility to distribute flyers summarizing the PhD work
  • Possibility to apply for travel grants once the acceptance of the submission has been acknowledged
  • FREE registration for the DATE Monday tutorials
