The University Booth at DATE is announced. Universities and public research institutes are invited to demonstrate their hardware platforms, prototypes tools and pre-commercial results. In addition, we also want to encourage R&D projects to present their outstanding solutions at the University Booth.

After DATE 2011 in Grenoble closed doors last Friday, it was clear to attendees, conference delegates; visitors and exhibitors, that DATE’s concept of choosing the vibrant European clusters Grenoble and Dresden as new venues is proving a major success.

The European economy is back to growth; during the downturn Europe’s microelectronics industry has further sharpened the profile of its leading clusters like Grenoble and Dresden. Both of that will be clearly visible at DATE 2011 Conference and Exhibition from 14-18 March in Grenoble, France.

The full technical programme for DATE 2011, the major global event in Europe which will again push innovation in the worldwide electronics industry, is now available at: http://www.date-conference.com/conference/event-overview.

The DATE 2011 program is clearly focused on industrial and academic needs. It consists of 57 technical sessions and around 200 papers, plus an executive track featuring 3 sessions with industry-leading executives. The program is completed by Tutorials given by world market-leaders and key scientists.
